“I have enjoyed working with Kevin in both Ear Training and Composition. I especially liked The Composing Hour: Inner Ear Training course. I found the meditative approach quite effective and even relaxing. It certainly opened my ear and changed the way I hear music, whether externally when I am playing my instrument, listening to recorded music, or internally when listening to the inner music I hear which becomes the basis of my composing activities. The 40 minute sessions are well presented and proceed at a comfortable pace. I also appreciate the 7 minute quick refreshers that are tied to each session. They are a great addition that provide a quick review of the essential material in the 40 minute sessions.

In Composition class Kevin is very generous with his time and his knowledge. The depth of his knowledge is considerable. He is very open and attuned to his students and is always able to meet them where they are to offer essential support and encouragement. Kevin is a natural and gifted educator. It shows in the courses he has developed and shines when he is teaching live online classes.”

"Kevin’s Flawless Ear Training offers a chance to master a skill that every musician or composer knows they need: the ability to audiate or “hear” pitches before writing or playing them. His course provides a powerful regimen of bite-sized lessons that enable you to develop your ear and almost immediately recognize improvement. I highly recommend that any serious musician try this foundational course."

"I took musicianship courses with Kevin when I was back in college, and I have seen so much growth in my music theory and ear training skills. Kevin's courses have taught me how to sight-read music, and to analyze musical scores effectively. I enjoyed taking Kevin's courses because Kevin taught me what I needed to know to become successful with my craft. By taking Kevin's courses, it has allowed me to not only go out and perform, but also provide private instruction to students of all ages. If you want to strengthen your musicianship skills, you should try Kevin's musicianship courses. You will notice a big difference in your musicianship skills, guaranteed."

"I'm finding the work to be an interesting dive into the inner world of the musical imagination. It's unlike anything else I've done, in a world that objectifies and commodifies everything, entering more deeply into the subjectivity of music, as its own reward, is unusual. 

Kevin is a terrific teacher, I'm enjoying the work."

“I have been learning composition with Kevin for a few years now. When I sought him out I had already been writing music but instinctively knew that I need an “education” to advance further. Kevin not only encouraged, affirmed and built on my strengths and talents but also has provided the framework and education materials that I had been lacking, not having had a formal degree in music.  However, my lifetime spent with music was a good backdrop to build on with the classes and education Kevin provides. While Kevin’s approach is quite informal and casual ( which I personally like and enjoy ) you will find that you have picked up all the formal concepts and resources you need to advance as a composer in the time you would have spent with him. For people like me that have serious professional level interest in music and in advancing our art, the type of education Kevin provides is invaluable.”
