Roz, Parent of a Composing Student

I started lessons with Brian about 3 years ago, and the difference in my voice is night and day. Not only are my abilities beyond what I could have imagined, but I also have a much better understanding of the mechanics of how my voice works. I cannot even begin to describe how big of a difference this has made for me. Not only am I a better singer, I feel like I can find more joy in it as well. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a voice teacher that provides high quality lessons with an open and friendly environment.

Miles, Adult Voice Student

I was fortunate to meet and work Brian as a working music professional around the same time as my daughter's interest in piano and signing started to peak.  Having experienced his dedication to his craft as a working musician and composer, when he told me that he is also a music educator, it was a no-brainer to have him teach the ropes to my daughter.  Brian's teaching style meshes perfectly with children, keeping everything light and fun while focusing on theory and fundamentals, and before the child knows it, they are excelling and growing with their skills and knowledge. In Brian, I couldn't ask for a better guide for my daughter through her musical journey.

RJ, Parent of an Elementary Piano Student

I had a great experience working with Brian. They helped me understand what kind of singing voice I have and taught me how to use my body to really unlock the range I was looking for, while providing details I had no idea were so important to singing. My technique improved a lot in a short time, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to grow as a singer.
