Here are some reflections on Marten's work as an accompanist.
"I have used Marten's amazing accompanying skills for many years for my vocal concerts and my VCE singing students. His musical, stylistically accurate and empathetic playing always lifts each singers' performance to the next level. Marten is very approachable and responsive to direction from both myself and the students with whom he is working. His extensive experience as a singing teacher/vocal coach means that he is also able to suggest and advise where necessary."
