TESTIMONIALS
Isaac possesses a magnificent lyric voice of considerable size and range, which is only complemented by a keen emotional and spiritual depth; one can sense that he is deeply connected to the songs that he sings, visualizing the story and emotion behind each note. I am also quite impressed by his superb diction when singing in foreign languages; it is rare to possess such great sensitivity to the different niches of various languages. Equally impressive about Isaac is his sheer enthusiasm, the inherent joy with which he approaches music.”​​

I've known Isaac for several years and it's a joy to be Isaac's teacher of English. Isaac is a very special leader when it comes to the classroom, bringing his optimism and positivity with him everywhere he goes. His keen ability to read into the deeper meaning behind any text and relay those ideas through refined prose is astounding. In the classroom, where students are working so hard every day, Isaac brings extra energy and spirit to class with him, sharing his love of music together with his love of learning. It's inspiring!"

A distinct outcome of Isaac's dedicated service is our students are more knowledgeable and better equipped musically since participating in the Share Your Music (SYM) Vocal and Music Enrichment Program. All in all, our students are more confident as vocalists and scholars, each with a keen curiosity to learn more.”​​

All of the training has boosted my kid's confidence in and out of Songcatchers. She now sings in pop up events that are self-organized; performs in school talent shows; Performs in recitals. Additionally, she has been applying her leadership skills and confidence to other areas in her life and recently won her district’s (New Rochelle, NY) Art competition! I could not be happier as I continue to look forward to her future achievements.”

Wonderful interpretation, tone and flowing legato! Bravo, from a fellow singer who has performed this work (None but the Lonely Heart by Tchaikovsky).... Still trying to fathom this vocal maturity from a 15 year old. Well done!.”​

Isaac has demonstrated remarkable leadership as a volunteer teacher, mentor, and curriculum developer. He has curated and implemented the Share Your Music (SYM) Vocal and Music Enrichment Program to teach K-8th grade students with engaging and age-appropriate activities. His dedication to our students is evident in the enthusiasm and participation he inspires in his classes. Isaac not only teaches new techniques and skills in music but also fosters an environment conducive to developing critical leadership within classes to help students support one another both in and outside of the classroom.”​
