I’ve been Mr. Dunkin’s student and colleague and I’ve always been impressed with his passion for helping others learn music and musical instruments. He is a kind teacher and uses his expertise to help students grow as musicians. He also has a great sense of humor. If you are looking to learn how to play an instrument I highly encourage you to learn from Mr. Dunkin
Mr. Dunkin is very patient and a great teacher. My daughter has learned so much and truly enjoys learning how to play her flute.
