WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“I have been working with Forest for about 2 years. I initially got in touch with him to help me develop my skills around jazz piano and music theory but this has morphed into developing my fledgling skills as a singer. Forest has been instrumental in helping me ‘find my voice’. As a former special educator, I can attest to the fact that Forest is a remarkable teacher. He has the uncanny ability to make any student feel comfortable no matter what level they are on, while patiently and persistently encouraging them to stretch their limits and progress while increasing their confidence, a winning combination for any teacher. I feel so fortunate to be working with Forest and hope to continue for as long as I can.” - Bella, adult

“Working with Forest has made the most sense out of any part of this hormone transition journey so far. I felt incredibly seen and understood working with someone who has also had to re-learn singing on testosterone. Their kindness, clarity, compassion, and insight opened the space for tremendous grounding and growth in just one half hour session - these tools have helped me think about singing and voice in a whole new way!” - Mika, adult

“Forest has been teaching me piano and voice for around two and a half years. Because of them I’m never stressed about piano and I look forward to practicing everyday. I used to be very self-conscious about my voice and wouldn’t really sing in front of others. Now, I am proud to sing and put on a show. I’m glad that I have Forest as my teacher.” - Althea, 13

“Forest is a supportive, considerate, and smart teacher who makes me feel welcome and appreciated during every lesson. I have learned so much from Forest and am so grateful for their encouragement as I learn to play piano in a caring environment.” - Dahlia, 14

“Forest is a wonderful teacher who is both talented at singing and at piano; they will arrange and print out songs that you request, along with a few songs that they’ve picked out that will match your voice well if you don't have a particular song that you want to do. They were always in a good mood and were super friendly and positive with their feedback. They had new songs in my interest that matched my voice range and they always taught at the perfect pace for me. Forest was open to helping me with my theatre production songs as well as voice warm ups.” - Katie, 11

WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING

“It warmed my heart to listen Forest and Katie playing and singing together....definitely my favorite part of the week! I loved the fluidity of the relationship as it developed...and can confirm that Forest inspired Katie to sit down and learn pieces on her own...a true testament for furthering her love of music.” - Lori, parent

“Forest is a wonderful instructor and talented musician. They have taught piano and voice to my teenage daughter for several years. We are loyal and committed to Forest because of their conscientious and caring style that helps spread an appreciation for playing music without stress. Forest communicates well, and creates individualized instruction based on the taste and interests of my daughter.” - Cindy, parent

“Forest is a wonderfully kind and patient teacher, as well as a talented musician. My daughter, now a teenager, has been their student in voice and piano for over two years. She always looks forward to their lessons, and has grown so much under their tutelage. My daughter appreciates their calm and supportive approach to teaching. Forest is extremely responsible and communicative about scheduling changes and lesson plans. As a parent I really appreciate at how quickly they will respond to questions. I highly recommend Forest and feel lucky that my daughter has the opportunity to study with them.” - Blanche, parent

“My daughter started learning Guitar and Vocals from Forest when she was eleven years old and continued to be their student for over [eight] years. Forest is very passionate about their teaching and they work very patiently to bring the best out in their students. Their song selection is unique and suited to each of their students. Today, my daughter loves singing and playing guitar to the extent that she has started to compose her own songs on her guitar. As a parent, I feel this is a huge accomplishment." - Rashmi, parent

"I cannot say enough good things about Forest because they are a class apart as a music teacher. My daughter has been learning piano and vocals from Forest for the past 6 years. Because of Forest, she got a detailed exposure to a variety of songs and won an international talent competition which gives her an opportunity to sing solo at Carnegie Hall. We highly recommend Forest and feel fortunate that they are our daughter’s teacher.” - Arnab, parent
