Mr. B worked with my middle schooler, and helped him find the joy in making music. Mr. B worked hard to find music that would be fun and interesting. He not only taught my son the proper methods and artistic elements, he also made it fun. They played together in every lesson. The foundation and training provided by Mr. B has helped my son be chosen for honor bands in middles school and be successful in band as a high schooler. Many kids drop out of band in high school, but I?m grateful that my son is staying engaged. I credit Mr. B for helping my son find his talent and continue to grow it.
Mr. B is one of the best overall teachers, of music or otherwise, I've seen. He is kind, patient, organized, musically skilled,, and knows what it takes to get students from A to B for whatever they are working on. He listens, and he draws on the students interests and strengths. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Bravo Maestro! Richard B. is a very pleasant and incredible music teacher, skilled musician, brilliant educator! He is limitless, he has helped us greatly! We have had very good music teachers from schools and well known outside resources; Richard B. beats them all hands down. We could not be happier luckily getting him! Richard B. brings joy, motivates, and inspires. Our sons primary instrument is the Baritone/Euphonium, then trumpet, piano, and others. Richard was great with all! Thanks to Richard, our son came home from All-State music judging competition with a rare Perfect score, and a Superior rating, and was also chosen as Best Site Performance. Great scholarship possibilities! The adjudicator wisely expressed the richest of kudos to Mr. Richard B. doing a fine job with our son. Richard B. is a great man and superb teacher! Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order and leads to all that is good and just and beautiful. Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul. - Plato
