“Right From the start, Dilan made me feel at ease regardless of my insecurities around my voice. I have never felt uncomfortable asking questions or practicing unperfected skills in lessons. As someone who is a bit more reserved and shy with my singing, I’ve never been afraid to be vulnerable about those weaknesses with my voice with Dilan.”
- Ethan, Student

“…during the lesson, Dilan was not only patient, but had this incredible innate ability to help my child relax. Dilan creates an environment that fosters and promotes a love of learning, positivity, flexibility, and most importantly safety. A child must feel safe to take learning risks. A good teacher knows how to reach every type of student from the most confident to the most anxious. Dilan continues to demonstrate these abilities and characteristics consistently at every lesson. Dilan is a skilled and talented teacher who has a clear understanding of what it means to teach.”
- Susie, Parent and Classroom Educator of over 20 years

“Dilan truly cares about my growth and wants to ensure that I feel confident in my work and am progressing towards my goals. Without Dilan, I would not have effectively found my higher register and learned countless ways to strengthen my voice before diving into a (recording) session. I thank him.”
-Connor, Student

“When I tell you my belt hasn’t been this clear and articulated in YEARS I really do feel it all coming back and I wanted to say thank you. It takes a while for me to feel 1000% comfy with a new teacher so I do get a little self conscious but genuinely thank you it is working and paying off”
-Ray, Student

“I hope you can tell that the kids are enjoying their lessons and speak so highly of you, how accomplished you are and what an excellent teacher you are”
-Mr Mrs Chi, Parents

“Dilan did the impossible with me -- he helped me read music! During my teen/tween years I had multiple teachers try to help me read music but it wasn’t until I had turned 39 that I finally figured it out. Reading music is a bucket list goal for me and I am so thankful to Dilan for sharing his knowledge”

- Kathryn, Student

"One of Dilan's biggest strengths is that he immediately knows how to meet you where you are. Lessons always feel very personal, and not just because they're private sessions. Curricula never feels rote; he takes the time to help you find and improve your own unique voice based on your skills and preferences. I will never forget the genuine look on his face the first time he said, 'I feel like I am hearing YOU for the first time.' Definitely looking forward to developing more under his guidance." 

-Victoria, Student

“Dilan is very understanding in lessons.  I am continuously changing the range I am in as I am on Testosterone.  He is very patient with the changes that are occurring.  He helps me pick out songs and artists that suit my changing voice while encouraging me to try songs that I wouldn't normally sing.  This has been a pleasant experience overall.”

-Robyn, Student

I found Dilan online on a whim and thought it would be the perfect experience for some personal growth and he did not disappoint!! I have loved singing my entire life but have always been so shy. He has helped me build up my confidence in my voice which has helped me in other aspects of my life as well. I started seeing improvements in my voice and how I use it in just a short few months. He is very knowledgeable with such an uplifting spirit that made me comfortable from the beginning. Overall, he is an amazing vocal coach and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to take lessons.

-Jessika, Student

As someone who loves to sing and perform, I’ve always wanted to improve my singing skills but have struggled to figure out how to do so – until I started doing voice lessons with Dilan. Dilan is really good at making each lesson focus on something that I need to work on. Whether it's working on breathing or making me more confident overall, voice lessons have been a highlight for me each week. With each lesson I’ve noticed that I can control my voice so much more than I could before, and it has gotten much stronger as well. Dilan has never failed to provide a comfortable environment, and I have never been afraid to ask questions.

Dilan, thank you for taking the time to help my daughter work on her voice!  You have given her some incredibly helpful tips that I see her implement as she practices on her own.  Singing is by far her most enjoyable homework assignment You have been patient and invested in seeing her succeed, which I truly appreciate!  She looks forward to your lessons and finds them detailed, easy to follow and practice, and simply fun.  I would be happy to recommend you to anyone who is looking to improve their signing technique. We are beyond grateful to get to work with you!
