“I had no idea what I was getting into. Seriously.. I went to Phil expecting to learn the same old stuff any voice coach will teach you.. most of which can be found on YouTube. But I was pleasantly surprised. Phil understands singing on a level that just blows my mind. But he doesn’t overwhelm you with his knowledge, he simply meets you where you are. So if you are serious about singing or even just a beginner, I can’t imagine finding a more qualified & effective teacher in the Dallas area.”

“Our son had been taking piano lessons for 2 years prior to taking lessons with Phil. He has learned more in this past year than in the two previous years combined. Our son enjoys Phil’s sense of humor and teaching style. We are looking forward to another great year! Thank you Phil!”
