Brian consistently demonstrates an insightful ability to gauge where a group needs to be met and how to quickly and effectively advance them forward from that point. I will continue to welcome Brian into my classroom, not only because he is masterful from the podium, but because he engages students with a warmth, positivity and generosity of spirit that communicates “we are here together, in the service of music.”

Brian is a terrific clinician that utilizes all the important rehearsal techniques in a comfortable setting that kids understand. From start to finish, the clinic is a fast paced environment that keeps all students involved with audible improvements. I highly recommend Brian as an everyday clinician!
Brian prepares ahead for the clinics and has many ideas to offer various levels of ensembles.

My students are not the only ones that have reaped the benefits of Brian’s expertise. As their teacher, I have also learned so much from him and thoroughly enjoy having him work with my students! I highly recommend Brian and his Conceptual Band & Orchestra Clinics.

Every time Brian comes in to work with my program, not only do the students grow as musicians, but I grow as a conductor. Mr. Murphy works quickly and efficiently to improve the ensemble sound within an hour of work and the students have a great time! We are excited to have Brian out even more this year.

Brian Murphy creatively finds ways to reach students of all levels and helps them find the music between the notes on the page. His passion for music making is evident and my students have always come away from his clinics excited and thirsty for more!
