As a music coach/instructor, Mr. Moore has a very unique ability to help students find an innate connection with challenging material. As an illustration, he was able to help my introverted 13-year old daughter learn new chorus material that was really challenging her and impacting her self-esteem. After a few encounters with Mr. Moore, my daughter's self-esteem and belief in her abilities increased. She embraced that which once challenged her and proudly ventured into another music subject without prompting, discovering her love for the flute, which she still plays today! While stern, Mr. Moore is quite encouraging, empathetic, and extremely gifted. I highly recommend his services as a coach, counseler and clergyman. Michelle D., PhD
