About Dr. T's Music Lessons

What do you want to accomplish? I have a longstanding record of helping people achieve their musical goals whether professional or amateur. I've greatly enjoyed seeing them accomplish their goals and grow in other areas of their lives too! My strong experience and credentials make this possible. I have earned three degrees in music and music education and taught music for over 30 years. I have studied not only music performance but also teaching methodology and have trained highly successful music teachers. As a result, I am able to draw from a great deal of knowledge and experience to help my students. I love helping students grow and succeed as musicians and people.

He was an amazing singing teacher, so compassionate, and was very creative in his teaching techniques! Always a great time, and his lessons still impact and better my singing even now! (I had to move away)

He is very patient and deep experienced teacher for me. I have fun whenever I take Dr.T’s lesson.

Skeptical about doing voice lessons online, especially as a complete beginner, but Dr.T has put those doubts to rest! After being with him for a few months I noticed significant improvements with his techniques and exercises that continue to help me as I try and get better. He is also a great person to talk with and he cares about you as person, remembering the little details. Even after not being able to do more lessons he still reaches out. Give him a try!

Working with Dr. Taylor has been a truly transformative experience. He has not only improved my speech and expanded my vocal range but also created a nurturing environment where I could freely explore my voice. With personalized exercises and guidance, he helped me develop essential aspects like breath control, resonance, articulation, and expression. His professionalism and unwavering commitment to my progress were evident in every session. Overall, I highly recommend this exceptional voice coach to anyone seeking to enhance their vocal abilities. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, he will exceed your expectations and guide you towards remarkable growth.

Dr. T has been teaching my daughter guitar for about a year and we are very happy with him. He’s the second teacher that we’ve had and the difference is night and day. Dr. T is incredibly patient but also very professional. It took some time for my daughter to appreciate the relationship between practice and improvement, but Dr. T coached her through the process and she now enjoys it much more and is improving rapidly. He records the zoom sessions and sends a detailed email after every lesson so we know what was covered and what to practice for the next week. We really appreciate all the time that he puts in and have seen the results in her playing ability. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. T to anyone interested in any musical pursuits.

Dr T is an incredible person and teacher. I’ve never taken singing lessons and had to get ready to serenade my wife the night before our wedding. He put in extra time to make sure that I was ready. I appreciate his emphasis on technique, and plan on working with him for years to come

Rodney B.Jul 2022

Dr. T is excellent at working with the student on their level from basics, breathing techniques, and encouraging and challenging the student. We saw improvements quickly not only for her personally but also for her competition. We highly recommend Dr.T

Ricky H.Oct 2021

First lesson was awesome. He seems professional and outgoing.Definitely someone who you can work with and enjoy it in the process. I’m excited to get to know him more as well as train my voice!

Paul R.Sep 2021

One of the most prepared vocal teachers I have ever had. Dr. T. has dozens of sheets of music for vocal practice. The sheets are divided for male and female voices. Always had a plan about what to cover for each lesson. Always on time. Dr. T. has many different ways to teach any single concept. If one analogy did not work there was always another one right behind.

So far so good

Joyce S.Sep 2018

Dr T helped bring out my children's natural talents.

Courtney S.Oct 2017

Dr. Taylor clearly cares about my child and works with her not only on vocal lessons but encourages her in life and other lessons as well. On a down day, he gives her space and grace but also encouragement and challenges her to do better even when she doesn’t feel like it

Kris R.Aug 2017

I started with Dr T not even sure I could sing. Within 4 months I have learned more about voice then the previous 35 years of my life. He has taken me from no confidence to a full belief I can do this. My range has increased,my tone is stronger, my confidence is soaring. His understanding of the voice and professionalism is second to none Thanks Dr T looking forward to many more lessons.

Dr. T. is very knowledgeable. He is supportive and encouraging. I am enjoying my lessons and learning lots: reading music, reading notes and chords.

Thumbtack customerJun 2015

So I didn't have a specific goal in mind, just wanted to start learning to play guitar, having never played any guitar before. Mark has done a fantastic job of explaining things and giving me good feed back on what I'm practicing. He's super laid back, does a good job of putting one at ease, and does a great job of encouraging - which can be needed when one is a perfectionist and learning a new instrument as an adult. :) He also does a great job of tailoring his teaching to your level. I do have a little piano knowledge in my background, and he's been super helpful in trying to bridge things I know from piano to the guitar - such as ascending/ descending chords and scales.

Thumbtack customerOct 2014

I started voice lessons over the summer and have seen significant improvement already. He has impressive college and job experience involving music. His enthusiasm for students is encouraging, and I take two voice lessons a week!

Thumbtack customerJun 2014

Dr. T made me feel at home. He made learning seem so easy and achievable. He has tremendous experience, a lot to give, and I am so fortunate to be learning from him.
