Testimonials
He is the ultimate professional - a great musician, a wonderful teacher, the most reliable colleague, and a trusted friend. He can handle any challenge gracefully and with care, and is clearly up to any task he’s asked to accomplish. He has my highest recommendation.
David Evans, Assoc. Conductor of Wicked
Garrett has improved my vocal technique exponentially. His attention to detail and concern for my vocal health is beyond any other teacher I have worked with. I have been able to access new areas of my voice that were recently unknown to me so that I have many more choices on how to sing and use my instrument. His extensive knowledge of the human voice is only matched by his ability to describe how to access it. I feel like I am able to sing healthier and more confidently with his instruction.”
