"At age 60 now, I can look back upon all the musical collaborators and vocal coaches/voice teachers who've instructed me and say with confidence that my time beside the piano with Mark Burnell remains the most pedagogically significant in coaxing me out of amateur cabaret jazz singing and into a space where a professional career was an option. For what I wanted to do, it was also keenly important that I work with a pianist who could move seamlessly from a jazz chart to musical theatre sheet music to a challenging anthology of classical art songs, offering critical feedback as a pro singer himself.
