Alan is the absolute best. I have had the best time learning from him and having him be a part of my journey. He truly cares for his students and wants them to succeed and it truly shows. I truly feel like I am learning so much from him and the confidence I have now just from a few sessions is amazing. 10/10 highly recommended!!!!

Alan has been great to work with! I first met him in an acting class he was teaching at a regional theater, and I leapt at the chance to take small-group classes out of his studio. I've acted for years, almost entirely musicals. I've loved the opportunity to work monologues and scenes. And songs! I'd not sung much in over 10 years so added voice lessons to my performance curriculum . Taking voice lessons from Alan has brought my vocal mojo back and introduced me to some valuable techniques I'd not know before. I've gained a lot of confidence in both disciplines, auditioning for some professional theater. And I am enjoying our work tremendously! You can't go wrong with Alan. Seriously.

I just had my second voice lesson with Alan and I can already feel, and hear, noticeable changes with my vocal range and breathing techniques. Alan has a professional work quality about him worth every penny, and he's not as expensive as other vocal teachers I've worked with and I've had a good amount of teachers in the past. His experience with his past musical career is very beneficial because he can relate to me on the same level and help me achieve my music and vocal goals. His lessons always start on time and he works with me diligently to help achieve the desired goals I have in mind when coming to a vocal lesson. He responds promptly to any questions or concerns I might have during the week and goes above and beyond to help me in any areas I might be struggling in. He's the best! For sure.

Alan is very straightforward and gets right to the point. He knows what he is talking about because he has so many years of quality experience. It’s been a short time working with Alan but he helped me find my breath again so to speak. I grew up singing, reading music, learning music theory, etc…. I stopped using my voice and now I feel confident again that I can perform and be a better singer. I’m looking forward to my up coming show and continuing to work with Alan to keep my voice up to par.
