Residency:
“I have only words of overwhelming praise for Bash the Trash this year. Brian was SO incredibly patient and helpful as we navigated the technology, and I really am inspired by him as a teacher. I really mean it, that in my opinion he is an asset to music education. He ALWAYS, without fail even once, finds a way to give feedback that builds up a student and never criticizes or shut them down, which is, as I am sure you know, so incredibly important when students are composing music and generating their own ideas. As a fellow teacher I really admire and appreciate how much Brian cares about fostering excitement about music and composing. I also really appreciated Brian asking the difficult questions to our students about the environment and even the idea of changing a lyric from “men” to “all” (instead of men and women) shows how much Brian cares about creating a safe space and positive environment. Our students had so much fun and I cannot wait to share the final product.” - Glen Cove School, NY
