"Working with the extraordinary Martine was such an incredible experience. She has vocal knowledge that helped give me the confidence and technique to tackle the huge role of Florence Vassey in Chess the musical. Her musicianship is breathtaking and she exudes an electricity both on and off the stage."

"You ever meet someone who seems to always be having a great day? That’s Martine. I think it’s because music and singing really light her up and it’s a joy to be around!
When it comes to using the voice,
She. Knows. Her. Stuff.
She offers a wonderful mix of being deeply passionate about finding emotional connection to the lyrics & melody and also nerding out with the nitty gritty details of vocal anatomy and technique.
Martine saved me on numerous occasions when I was sure my voice was toast with her ability to know exactly what to do to relieve vocal tension.
She’s also a killer pianist and a super fun person!"

"Martine Wengrow is a professional pleasure to work with in every way. When searching for an accompanist, co-performer, vocal coach and arranger for my two-hander musical The Very Model of a Modern Major Musical, Martine’s experience and skill filled this complex role splendidly well. Her firm but kind coaching style kept my voice in tip-top condition while her arrangements of the music were perfectly done (even if my interpretations of them sometimes weren’t.) She excelled on stage as well, in both her playing and comic timing. If you’re lucky enough to work with Martine you’re in for an excellent experience."

"Martine is a truly multi-skilled musician who understands all sides of the creative process. It’s been a pleasure having her work for me in multiple capacities: as a keyboard player, assistant music director, copyist, transcriber, and even keyboard programmer. She's passionate about striving for excellent results, and I can always trust she will do whatever it takes to get them."

"I have had the fortune of working with Martine as my répétiteur, a Musical Director and a vocal coach.
In all of these roles, her attention to detail, both in technique & performance is only surpassed by the sense of confidence you get that you can achieve your performance goals with ease and consistency.
This is achieved with collaboration and adapting the techniques to what works best for you.
And her infectious excitement and joy of the Arts makes working with Martine a pure joy."
