Testimonials

Here's some feedback from our past and current students ...

"The first time I've joined the Filipino Choir of St. Francis in Melbourne, months before Ben joined, I did'nt see the commitment of the members on putting in their best efforts to improve the quality of their singing as they had different singing backgrounds and had their own style of singing. But, when Ben came and taught new contemporary songs, some of which he personally arranged "on the spot" beautifully with several voices, the choir was tranformed into a "world class" choir with committed and inspired members. Everyone learned the proper breathing, quality of voice, phrasing, harmony and blending, and we started hitting the right tones with the right volume! Never have I met such a professional with a lot of knowledge, experience, and, a passion for excellence in his undertakings. Truly, he is a remarkable maestro with a lot of wisdom for teaching!"

-- Antonio Noel de la Pena Jr.-President- Filipino Choir of St. Francis (Choir)

AN OBSERVER’S TESTIMONY - "The Filipino Choir of St. Francis’ , Melbourne, was founded in 1992 and, as all choirs, has had its periods of growth and development. The beginning was marked with much enthusiasm and generosity but there was a felt need for a more professional leadership and, at the same time, instruction on breathing, voice production and other techniques to bring the best out of the latent talent and possibilities of the dedicated choir members. The arrival of Ben Noynay was a real gift to the choir as he had the musical talent, leadership skills and background required for a good choir director. The Filipino Choir profited from his expertise and achieved a high level of performance under his direction. Eventually Ben Noynay moved on to follow his career but his legacy remains with the older choir members who still follow his methods and, to some extent, help newcomers to appreciate what it means to be dedicated to singing in a choir. He is on all accounts an excellent teacher and his skills and discipline bring out the best in a choir."

-- Edward Wood, Chaplain to the Filipino Choir of St. Francis (Choir)

"EXCELLENT, FANTASTIC. I've discovered how to really sing with Ben. Ben is an awesome tutor and a wonderful friend. He has helped me with my confidence which I have utilized in my public speaking. Through these lessons I am now equipped to stand before people not only to sing better but to speak better, too. My singing has improved tenfold. Thanks, Ben."

"In less than two months, I noticed a big difference in my singing. Using the phrasing and breathing techniques taught in "Learn To Sing Professionally In Just Three Months"™, I was able to sing all the sustained notes of my favourite song very confidently and without straining my voice."

-- Melanie Silva (Singing Student)

"I am still an amateur singer, I think. Before taking "Learn To Sing Professionally In Just Three Months"™, I was a bit confused which direction I should take in my singing career. Taking the Course gave me the clarity that I really want to be a stage performer not just a recording artist. The information and guidance taught in the Course are so invaluable that I strongly recommend it to amateur singers like me. Upon completion of the Course, I am pretty confident that I'll be moving up to become a professional singer."
