“Having worked with Evan as my instructor in these workshops and with my a cappella group, I think I’m well within my right to say that he is the best vocal coach I’ve ever had!
Especially within Creative Vocal Lab, Evan encourages everyone to step out of their comfort zones by creating such a supportive and fun environment that makes stepping out of your comfort zone comfortable, exciting, and hilarious. With his help, and in such an environment, I have watched my vocal skills and knowledge transform from the most basic to more complex than I had ever thought possible. Thank you Evan for being both a mentor and a friend!!”

“I’ve been a student of Evan’s at the Creative Vocal Lab for 3 summers now and although I’d been singing my entire life, I never had any vocal training until CVL. I didn’t know the slightest thing about vocal percussion, arranging, spontaneous creation or a cappella music. I didn’t even know much about harmony!
Evan is a seasoned professional and is able to teach a wide range of levels. His curriculum for Creative Vocal Lab has evolved and is ever-changing to give even returning students new material to work on in both a cappella and improvisation. Both in and outside of CVL, Evan has been present in my development as a musician and has truly become a mentor (and a friend) to me. During my Freshman year of HS, Evan inspired me to start an a cappella group at my high school and I am now the musical director and arranger.
Without the CVL’s curriculum and Evan’s instruction, I can confidently say that I would be unable to teach my peers. I can attest to the fact that anyone looking to break into song would certainly benefit from the skills taught at the Creative Vocal Lab. Evan is living proof that you can be successful in today’s music industry.”
