I am so thankful for David and the studio lessons program. It has profoundly impacted my life.

The opportunity to switch from jackie to David has been super helpful in advancing my training. Thank you for allowing it and for facilitating it.

The full price of lessons is a bit of a burden, and so I just wish we could reconsider how DCE status students could continue to benefit from subsidized lessons.

I have found that taking lessons with Leah has significantly helped my technique. I used to feel very wobbly on baroque violin and I couldn't figure out how to fix it, but after this semester of lessons with her I feel much more confident with my technique and playing.

She has been wonderful and brought a fun but professional energy to our group!

Mr. T has a very personalized teaching style that has helped me develop a more mature sound on the saxophone and a more dedicated practice routine.

David Kellett is truly an excellent instructor, well-versed in not only vocal technique but in vocal/operatic history and performance which makes him an amazing technical teacher and career guide.

I have also found that David is extremely caring and empathetic, and he has consistently gone above and beyond to support me as a person as well as a musician.
