I studied with Dennis for two years and he helped me to unlock the full potential of my voice. Under his instruction, I found success in competitions such as the NATs Competition (1st place 2013,) Eastshore Region Solo & Ensemble (1st alternate to state 2013 & 2014,) and state Solo & Ensemble (received superior scores 2014). In addition, Dennis helped me gain entrance into multiple university music programs, from some of which I was offered scholarship money for music. In my continued singing, I constantly return to the skills that Dennis taught me, which have provided me with a strong foundation for college level singing. Dennis is a fantastic teacher - I would not be the singer I am today without him.

Recommendation by Gary D. Cannon March 4, 2015 "I am a professional classical singer and choral conductor. A few years ago, I felt in need of a check-up to review my knowledge and implementation of basic vocal technique. Dennis has provided this perfectly. My voice feels more relaxed, reliable, and capable thanks to Dennis's efforts. I also observed as he coached my mother (who is very much a beginner), and can attest that he works effectively with singers of all skill levels. Singers around the Seattle area often ask me for recommendations of voice teachers, and Dennis is always at the top of my list. -- Gary D. Cannon"

I had not sang in 30 years and cannot thank "coach Dennis" enough. The training, techniques and tricks to help me gain some confidence have been amazing. Cannot imagine a better mentor, coach or teacher!

My son, Corey Fujimoto, was coached by Dennis for over 10 years. Dennis developed a shy teenager (15) who wouldn't sing out into a strong first tenor soloist, with an extensive range, who sings with poise and joy. Dennis also, by example, helped that young fellow develop into a responsible adult. I will forever be grateful for Dennis's coaching. My son would still be working with Dennis, but Corey decided that he needed to concentrate on his university (responsible!) I cannot recommend Dennis highly enough.

Dennis came recommended to me by someone who sings in the east-side musical community. Having been drawn to music for a long time, I was eager to join a singing group, but knew nothing about voice or how to read music. Through weekly lessons over about a years' time, Dennis helped ready me physically and mentally to become a singer, which has been a fabulous experience. His teaching style is gentle, direct and cerebral. I highly recommend him.

My 13 yr old daughter says that she recommends Dennis as a voice teacher because she felt much more confident and saw immediate improvements during the very first lesson. After months of focusing on her breathing technique, she landed her dream role in her school musical. Many have remarked what huge improvements she's made in very little time. Dennis gives his students the tools needed to be a strong singer in any context. I highly recommend him.
