What Others Are Saying
I had the unique experience of being among Todd's first music students. I studied with him as a 4th-5th grader but then again in greater capacity through much of high school, culminating with flute studies in my senior year. I have always had much admiration for him as he always pursued a greater excellence. Now that I am also a music teacher, I even more highly value his commitment to his craft, teaching through learning. A student could not ask for a better attribute in a teacher, than one who is a lifelong learner.

I have been a French horn student of Todd Brill for almost 4 years. He is a patient, gentle and talented teacher. His knowledge of music is solid and he knows how to teach in such a way that things 'sink-in'. He not only just tells you how you should sound but he also can play along with you to show you the proper intonation and technique. Mr Brill, one of his students and I together performed with the King's Brass on two occasions. His coaching help that performance was invaluable. Thanks to him we were able to play with confidence, knowing that we learned the right way to play the music. Believe me when I give Mr. Brill a five star recommendation because I am 61 years old; if he can teach me he can teach anyone. I now play with the Calvary Church Orchestra and I have Mr. Brill to thank.

Todd is a gifted teacher with much enthusiasm and love for all instruments. He easily moves between instruments as he teaches and he instills a love and excitement for music that is uncommon in today's society.

I had Todd for a voice teacher as well as piano teacher a few years ago. I recommend him to anyone looking for a talented music teacher. He is excellent at helping an insecure adult sing with confidence. I am on a worship team at church because of his skills at coaching me. He is good at explaining difficult things in layman's terms and most of all, he is patient.

Todd is a brilliant musician who skillfully blends his love for people and his love of music. He wrote and performed for our organization the Kids and Cultures World Music Tour, an educational and interactive family-oriented musical trip around the world, incorporating an impressive collection of musical instruments, styles, and languages. Todd is curious, creative, reliable, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to be around. We highly recommend him as a teacher, musician, and positive influence in the world.

Music is in Todd Brill's blood. He is proficient and can instruct in nearly every musical family. He has a way with children that inspires them to enjoy working hard. His care and compassion for young people is palpable. He brings just the right balance of encouragement and exhortation to the classroom. Todd Brill can form and direct a several member worship team with skill and success. He has patience, musical know-how, and an ear to know what sounds best. He writes arrangements to suit the individual skills of the members, to include young musicians. Most of all, his heart is to bring glory to God through music, both individually and corporately, through leading others in musical expression.
