BSW Studio for Professional Singers
Where Pros send Pros
Honest, focused technique you can trust, built around your voice.
Musical context you can feel, results you can hear.
"A teacher who not only makes you a better singer, he makes you a better and well-rounded artist."
With over twenty years experience teaching focusing on classical and music theatre singing, Brian has seen his students take contracts at opera houses and festivals in the UK, Europe, and America and perform in the West End, on Broadway, and on national tours of Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Brian runs a studio built on one simple belief: that your technique should be designed your unique anatomy and artistic goals. His mission is to cut through mystique with evidence-led, personalised coaching, so that students can perform with clarity, confidence, and longevity.
He offers 90-minute bespoke lessons at his well-appointed 1,000 square foot studio and online.
Brian’s approach blends a clear core framework of technique with truly individualised solutions whilst working in a safe and professional-yet-warm environment.

"I can thoroughly recommend Brian to anyone wishing to better this singing technique, whether you want to focus on the standard operatic canon, on musical theatre, on heavier German & Russian repertoire or even contemporary vocal works requiring extended techniques. Brian is a skilled linguist as well as an accomplished musician. Unlike other singing teachers, Brian has no ego and is purely there to help and support his students, in any way he can. He simply loves music and singing, and it shows."
- Arthur Bruce, baritone, Royal Opera and Oldenburg Oper
"Brian has a wealth of professional experience with a wide-range of repertoire, including covering big roles in A houses. A lot of teachers cannot put their money where their mouths are. He's actually out there doing it. Brian has an exceptional sense of pitch - to the microtonal degree. And I think it is to the immense benefit of his students that Brian allows students to experiment freely in a kind, warm-hearted, supportive environment while also keeping them neatly reined in career pragmatism, care, and honesty."
- Charles Styles, tenor, Yale Opera School and Glyndebourne Festival
"I came to Brian, after a few months of really struggling vocally, as I was told he was particularly good at helping to restructure voices that needed a little help. Brian's vast knowledge of both vocal anatomy, teaching techniques and most of all patience means he has been able to help me immensely. He is kind and careful and able to adapt his teaching, not just to different students, but also to how a particular student is feeling on a given day. Brian rocks."
- David Horton, English Touring Opera and Longborough Festival
"When choosing a teacher, it is more than just finding someone to improve your technique. It is about having a mentor you can trust fully to make decisions in your best interest, motivate you and to inspire you through a very tricky career path. Brian was the person for me as he done all of these things for me and more. He has helped me navigate previous issues and traumas from bad experiences and ensured that they are left in the past in order to move forward positively. Brian is a teacher who not only make you a better singer, he makes you a better and well-rounded artist."
- Rachael Hughes, lyric soprano, Flat Pack Opera and Longborough Festival
