From Roberta H. whose granddaughter takes voice lessons from Austin Burns

"Not only does our granddaughter benefit from Austin’s expertise in voice but she also thoroughly enjoys her lessons with him. Austin shows through his teaching style that he has a strong grasp of the dynamics of child behavior. I highly recommend Austin Burns for his teaching abilities and his expertise in voice."

"I have been taking weekly voice lessons from Austin for one year. He is punctual, attentive, caring and thorough. His training, knowledge, and approach emphasizes a choral approach, a versatile, dynamic song range and a strong beginning foundation - enhancing sound, pronunciation and form. I highly recommend him!"

Austin teaches a variety of subjects including voice, piano, and songwriting.
