to pursue my music career. It was a pleasure learning under you and I'll never forget it."

"Hi Brandon, ...Matt has had a great time working with you and needless to say we have all been
impressed with your knowledge, skill and ability to inspire Matt toward working harder to accomplish his
musical goals. I am confident that we will be able to resume lessons when the schedule winds down.
Please feel free to use me as a reference as need be and I will keep in touch... Fondly, Kate"

"Thank you [Brandon] so much for your input and flexibility. I think you [Brandon] work really well with Josh. [Brandon] You are so calm
and encouraging, and it is SO fun for us to see him enjoying the drums so much. I agree with you that he would probably benefit from a
longer lesson. Thanks for contacting me and letting me know your thoughts about Josh's abilities. We have always suspected that he
had an ear for music, but it's nice to hear similar opinion from a professional."
Jane C. (2009) Bernardsville, NJ

"Dear Brandon, Just wanted to tell you, after being a part of today's recital and watching the entire event unfold, how very happy we are
being a part of Music Notes Academy. There is no doubt that we made the right decision to follow you and continue to have you teach
and mentor Justin. He is growing by leaps and bounds as a musician under your leadership and we know that you have just begun to
scratch the surface. Thank you very much for the time and patience you have in teaching. It is not an easy thing to do... and you
manage to juggle all types of ideas and projects, while continuing to produce results with the kids. Your talent, ambition, intelligence
and organization is uncanny. We're happy to be on the Kurzawa team. Justin can learn so much from you, in all ways of musicianship
and then some; it is an honor to have you guiding Justin. Looking forward to many more years of growth and learning on Justin's part.
It's exciting to know there will be many things you will expose him to; you bring opportunity, amongst other attributes, and we are
grateful. Today was a great event! Congratulations!"

Thanks, Lisa H."

"Barry is a very nice person and a good teacher. Very motivating. Katie enjoys her classes with him a lot. She is almost done with Fur
Elise completely and is doing very good."
E. Kusmin (2008) Summit, NJ

"Mari was scared at first, having only had the same piano teacher for the past three years. I sat in the room as they had the lesson and
she definitely was responding to him. The interesting thing, when I asked her what she thought, she said he was a lot different than
her previous piano teacher who would sit there and say things like "don't forget the D" or "that was fine" but Barry would actually make
her do phrases over again until they were better. So Mari said, "I felt like I learned a lot more from him in 1/2 an hour than I did from
my other teacher in several months."
Leslie P. (2008) Pottersville, NJ

with her new piano and she wants to thank you for helping us get her the piano. She looks forward to her student recital."

(2007)

"Just wanna thank you [Brandon] for a job well done and for giving my son the best drum lesson he could possibly have. He seems to
love and enjoy drumming and I am so proud of his accomplishment but of course it's all because you are a great teacher with so much
ambitions in life. I hope Joseph will follow your footsteps someday. All I can say is that you are truly a hardworking person and so
intelligent yet so humble and down to earth. You're probably one in a million."
Benilda D. (2007) Union, NJ

"Thanks for being a wonderful teacher [Brandon] - caring and committed!"
(2006)

"Maybe it's time to move out on your own and start your own school. The parents and students would follow you [Brandon] and your
innovative ideas... I'm sure you'd see wonderful advancements in the students."
Ann G. (2005)
Here are some testimonials from our students and parents that we have
received since 2007...
"Dear Mr. Brandon, We just wanted to give you a little holiday gift to show our
appreciation for all that you do to teach Josh the drums. He gets so excited for
Wednesdays when he gets to have his drum lesson. You have such a nice way
with him. You are very respectful of his questions and his unique learning
process. Thanks for everything. Have a great holiday. Sincerely, Jane & Mike"
