Bruce is a great teacher. I am fortunate. He meets you exactly where you're at. There's no timetable. I started as a trumpet learner in 2020. A real beginner too. I was far from being a natural. Bruce is patient, calm, and diplomatic. Moreover, he uses the teachings of Claude Gordon to develop embouchure, wind power, wind control, breathing, and efficiency. But he is not limited to this school of thought and will try different ideas if he thinks they can help the student. It's been a journey full of satisfaction, growth and development. If you put in the work and follow Bruce's common sense approach, you will develop. And I'm looking forward to what the next few years will bring.

Does a great job at connecting with me. He’s really knowledgable in music and the way he teaches makes every step forward a lot easier process. He’s patient and knows how to adapt to each student to get the very best out of them.

Michael is great! He's friendly, enthusiastic, and energetic. His musical knowledge is extensive. As an adult student I have really enjoyed learning from Michael and I have no doubt he would be great with younger students. I've been focusing on jazz freezing but he's also pointed out ways for me to improve my technical skills. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Very understanding as far as needing to cancel or reschedule due to life and/or sickness, very knowledgeable, great attitude and straight to the point. With the few months of working with my son on the trombone he caught up to his classmates and was able to perform in the last concert of the year and has a new found love for all instruments.
