Steven,
Thank you so much for going above and beyond in adjusting your schedule to provide last minute vocal coaching for an audition. You were a HUGE help and because of you my audition went extraordinarily well. I especially appreciated your ability to produce custom sheet music specific to my audition. This was a huge help and made all the difference in my audition. Plus it was super cool
- Kelsey Fowler
My pleasure Kelsey!
Steven’s music has such heart! His tunes emit such positive ENERGY, always evoking the proper mood and setting for the situation at hand..I highly recommend him as a songwriter…he AND his music are NEVER boring!!
Thank you so much Irene!!!
Thank you so much with the last minute help on my music before my audition. You were truly a godsend. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
P.S. I totally love your Adele mash-up.
Thanks Cartreze!
It was great seeing you last night. Frankie and BriAnna miss seeing you and would love to get together. Your music always makes me happy and makes me smile! Love you!

YOU ROCK!!!
It was a pleasure working with Steven in preparation for a Paul Russell Casting Access to Agents Showcase. Steven customized a great 16 bar excerpt to accommodate my range, help build the story concisely and make my performance “POP!” from the moment I hit my first note. That is exactly the kind of arrangement I needed and Steven made it happen!
Thanks so much for that lovely guestbook entry!
Steven worked with me last week to create a great 8-bar cut of a song I often sing in auditions. Not only did the audition go well, but I went back for several days of callbacks – all from our audition cut! The last-minute coaching builds such confidence before that important audition, and he’s a great resource.
Great working with you, Steve! Your music is divine! In a world of poseurs and knuckleheads, you are the Real Deal! Thanks for squeezing me in at the last minute and working your magic. Hats off to you!!
Steven is an outstanding pianist. We had a great private concert in Atlanta, Georgia with Steven on the keys.
Steven,
Thanks so much for my lesson. It was really great to work with you and I felt much better prepared for my audition. I look forward to coaching with you again soon! Thanks again!
Thanks much KC!
Steven has been nothing but the most helpful person I have ever worked with. His amazing attention to detail is outstanding. He has helped me tremendously over the past two years grow as a performer. He has assisted with music cuts and has even basically created music from scratch for songs where sheet music was unavailable.
Thanks so much Gary! How did the song go?
To me, Steven’s biggest talent is that to him, nothing is ever ‘good enough’..he continues to work till the best possible result is attained, and even THEN, tweaks it one more time!..he has written music with me in mind, and trust me, when he writes for you, he knows just where the ‘sweet spot’ in your voice is, and goes with it! (Steven, this website is AWESOME! I could sit here all night..er..MORNING–Hey, I AM a show person, after all!- and still find something new! GOOD JOB!!)
This is a great website Steve! Not only do I appreciate your talents at school but I will stay abreast of new things with this as well. Thank you!
Great site – congrats, Steven!
Love it! Looks like a newspaper! Had to laugh, though. I misread “Sight Transpositions” as “Slight Transpositions”. That would mean only partially transposing the music and leaving out a few dots and measures, maybe a key signature or two. Ha!
Congratulations on a great site!
Ed
Engaging, informative site. Have to hear you play sometime, hear your music!

The new website is terrific! Steven and I have been working together consistently over the past year. He has helped me prepare for numerous auditions (sometimes on very short notice) and even helped me with my monologues! After working together only a short time on some new material, I got a new agent using the song that Steven and I were working on. He has suggested some great new cuts to old material in my book and has even written me some new endings. He also has a vast library of sheet music and recordings and has given me several new pieces to add to my book. I also recently recommended him to someone who needed a musical director for a large event and Steven was hired immediately and he went on to basically “produce” the event. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, professional coach who most of all is compassionate and understands singers and the crazy life that we lead! Thanks for everything, Steven!

Hi Steven! Great site!! I truly love your music!!!!!!!!!!!! And, thank you too for being a supporter of my work. We will be chatting soon. Im excited to add you and your plethora of Knowledge to our broadwayblogspot.com video database. Kim
Steven and I met about 17 years ago, and I have coached with him over the years. I have sent many of my students to him as well. I had a coaching with him on this past Saturday when I was in town. It was quite incredible! He works fast and fastidiously. He made a cut for me in a song that is outstanding. I thought I was there just to go over a song I already had, and his observations and thoughts about it were amazing and right on point, and he ended up giving me a much more appropriate song. I recommend him highly!!!
Steven and I know each other from his constant support in the studios at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy two years ago. He is such a positive energy that really affects students in such a good way. He will always serve as a friend and mentor to me.
Steven,
Awesome website!!! Looking good! Many more success are headed your way! Keep up the hard and great work! Best wishes!!
This incredible repository of all things Steven is a joy…especially for me! I do think, though, that even someone who is not your mom will love your site. That’s especially true for students, lyricists and those looking for a great Musical Director. Thank you for allowing me to continue to be part of your amazing life.
It’s a masterpiece — a work of art! Congratulations!
I have worked with and known Steven for more years then either of us would like to admit. I have always known him to be very prepared as a pianist, musical director and composer for whatever musical event he works on. His spontaneous arranging and people skills are without compare. See you at ” George’s Turn”….. Keep going……..Don
What would i do without you? Your such a great pianist and coach! BTW…I love your new site its AWESOME!
Steve your a musical Genius! I love ya and Congrats!!! Much success always!!!
Great looking web site!

Steven, it has been a wonderful journey for you and I’m so happy to have been part of it at the very beginning in Bridgeport. Continued success!
Congrats on the site!!!
Love the new site!
Steven, Steven, Steven!
Well done, sir. I am enjoying the new site.
I am pleased that the songs which I played on “The Randomest Two Hours on the Radio” (89.3 FM, WAMH) are living on… and quite well!
Happy to see The Path You Choose is continuing its journey (per your “Spotlight” section). I played it often.
Continued success, buddy.
Best from me,
Tripp
Just to re-iterate what I said on FB: Your site is impressive, but I’m most impressed with your accomplishments. Also, you look terrific, lol!
Best wishes,
John
Looks great Steven! I look forward to checking it out often!
It has been a long time since our paths have crossed but I always remember your terrific and positive energy and, of course, wonderful kindness. I hope to have the opportunity to see you again! All my best.
