"Brian's music is the real thing -- uplifting, transporting, and always surprising. His musical gifts are matched only by his passion for expressing the whole range of life and emotion.”
- Ben Sherwood, Former Co-chairman, Disney Media Networks and President, Disney/ABC Television Group
“Brian Feinstein is a wonderful teacher because he pays attention; and a lot more. In teaching these days, individualized education is more important than ever. Brian can read the room and adapt seamlessly to the needs of the moment or person, without giving up on the goal of the class. He is 'gently firm'. He knows how to keep things moving while being inclusive of as much as possible to the unexpected that comes from the students. I also love that he can play anything! I mean he can take lyrics, words, or random text, and turn them into music in moments. Who needs AI when you've got Brian Feinstein? I am fortunate to know Brian as a friend and very gifted and compassionate musician, composer, teacher and colleague.”
Terrence Christgau,
Director of Master Theatre Program, The Dwight School, NYC.

Schools return year after year because of the lasting relationships Brian builds with administrators, teachers, and students alike."
Madeline Calandrillo
Director Of Education, New York City Children’s Theater
"Brian always presents the craft of songwriting in a clear and encouraging manner and he adapts his instruction well to meet the varied skill levels of his students. Brian creates an inclusive and supportive classroom environment where students feel safe to take creative risks and be themselves. He builds strong relationships with students, encouraging collaboration, respect, and confidence in the process."
