Brian is extraordinary. He seems to know exactly how to "reach" me. Many times he challenges me in ways that help me grow not only mus
ically but also as a person, which is fantastic as I am a senior.
He makes me work way outside my comfort zone by making me improvise and has actually made me sing. I don't sing, but Brian makes me believe I can do it.
Mostly though, he gives me the joy of music. I so appreciate everything he does."
