Dave is very experienced, knowledgeable, kind & patient. I always enjoy my lessons. If you are not understanding something he explains in simple terms & does not push you beyond what you are able to grasp. I always look forward to the next lesson & learning more. He never discourages you, but always encourages you to be a better singer or player in a very constructive manner. He makes learning fun. I would recommend him to any age student.

Dave Brandt is terrific. He chooses relevant songs my kids really enjoy learning & practicing, and he is super-encouraging of their strengths while challenging & stretching them in the areas they need to improve. He is incredibly knowledgeable. Each of my 4 kids' skills have improved greatly because of their lessons, and they all love Mr. Dave!

K's confidence has strengthened since her first lesson with Dave. Dave has an incredible ability to make you feel at ease and has a positive take on critiquing. I would highly recommend Dave as a vocal and keyboard instructor.

Grace (vocal-singing) and Dylan (keyboard) have been getting lessons at RockShow for a few years now. Dave, Kelly, and their family/staff are wonderful! My kids have learned so much. Dave works with each of them to perform their very best. Grace has really blossomed under Dave's guidance. Couldn't ask for a better instructor.

Dave is not only the consummate professional, he is exactly what is needed to put you at ease and make developing your skills fun. Whether it is drama, musical instruments or voice lessons (I have experienced Dave in all three), there isn't any other place I would send my kids (or go myself). You won't be disappointed with The Rock Show Academy, you'll wonder how things could be if you had just found them sooner.

Our 8 year old is taking voice and keyboard from Mr. Dave. I would highly recommend him! She is also involved in her first show and looking forward to many more!

My son really enjoys his voice lessons with Dave Brandt and has learned a lot. It's also fun to get emails with a voice recording of your child singing.

I have been bringing my daughter to RockShow Academy for several years. The classes are top notch and the musical productions are of professional grade. The kids not only learn how to conduct themselves in a musical theater atmosphere, but they learn important skills they can use in school and in life. The staff is very patient and understanding of varying skill levels and abilities. I love RockShow!

Dave, Kelley, Chaim, and everyone at RockShow Academy has been wonderful! Dave shares his musical knowledge with the students in entertaining ways, and they will succeed if they follow his directions.
