"Things are going well with Sean. He's great."
Paul D. (Morristown, NJ) (2012)
"Hi Brandon, Thank you so much for your kind words and providing the
[recording] studio opportunity for Matthew. He can't stop talking about
the experience. This has been a great year for him in guitar, between
rock band, the [recording] studio and lessons with Chris. Thanks for
everything. We look forward to many good things ahead. Sincerely,
Amy L."
Amy L. (Bridgewater, NJ) (2011)
"I just wanted to let you [Brandon] know that your lesson seems to
have inspired Josh. He has been playing drums non-stop since you left
(except when I made him stop to do homework). He just has that song
on and is playing it over and over again. I guess I'll have to eventually
pull him off the drums for bed."
Jane C. (Bernardsville, NJ) (2011)

been practicing her guitar and singing along and has amazing pitch... Bridget is enjoying her drums and is practicing too! Charlie had her first

the event special and acts as an inspiration to our own 4-H members... Thanks, Sue"
Susan (4-H Event Coordinator) (2011)

lesson today' and how he can't wait for two weeks. I hope the enthusiasm continues!! I'm really excited for him."
Eileen (2011) (Morristown, NJ)
"Yesterday, after Josh's drum lesson, Josh told me, "Whenever Mr. Brandon comes, it just makes me want to keep playing the drums for a
really long time after he leaves." It sounds like you really inspire him..."

Shani K. (Blairstown, NJ) (2010)
"As I said when you [Brandon] were here, I feel very strongly that the instruction Josh is getting is clearly above anything else that I could
find out there. I appreciate how thorough and exacting you are with him (while still being patient). I think a huge benefit he gets from you
(besides the obvious of learning the drums so well) is the discipline and an ability to learn to do something not necessarily his way, but the
best way. Through all the hard work, Josh still loves to play. So thanks for all your efforts."
Jane C. (Bernarsville, NJ) (2010)
"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

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

her second lesson on Saturday morning. So far so good!"

"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!"

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."

humble and down to earth. You're probably one in a million."

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."

"Hi Brandon, What a great recital last week! We were very pleased to see how well Matthew and Mia came along with Chris's help this year.
Piano instruction has opened a whole new world to them and its also increased their self esteem and belief in their own abilities -- thank you
so very much! Chris M. is a wonderful and patient instructor and the kids just love him. Have a good summer."

"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!"

"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

"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."
