Testimonials:
"Brian visited my 5th grade music classes and left a lasting impression on my students! He explored various elements of musical composition, improvisation, emotion, and expression in a way that gripped the students attention and challenged them in their own creativity. The students were very curious about his “Household Items” project and were inspired to write their own. Brian is not only an extremely talented musician but also has a natural gift for teaching that engages students. I hope to work more with him in the future as his time with us was so valuable to our music curriculum!" Christen Hynes, Peirce Elementary School
"As a professional music educator it has been my honor to have Brian Friedland visit my classroom in the Newton Public Schools. My students loved the opportunity to meet a local composer who could share accessible music enjoyed by many ages. One highlight of the program is Brian's process of creating the Household Items series. My students were totally blown away by the fact that words on labels and every day items can be turned into such fun music. They also enjoyed asking questions about the musical choices Brian made when creating and composing. " Caroline Rapa, Memorial Spaulding Elementary School
"Household Items draws on the musical virtuosity and zany humor of pianist-composer Brian Friedland to achieve what few can: fantastic music that also makes you laugh. A truly original and engaging project!" Shaw Pong Liu, teaching artist for Celebrity Series, Young Artists, and Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road project
