United States Army Field Band Euphonium Player, graduate from the University of Michigan.

Roel is a very committed and honest teacher. If you want someone to give you straightforward, no-fluff opinions on your playing he's the man!

I’ve seen Roel teach lessons for years, he is quick to figure out what little fixes can make any student better at their instrument! He’s good with demonstrating what a good sound is and getting the students engaged.

Roel is one of those teachers who’s thorough because he understands the process in getting you to be where you need to be. I never felt like I was wasting my time or was rushing to get it over with. Very cozy house in which he hosts his lessons.

With Roel, what you see is what you get, and what I’ve seen is nothing but excellence and professionalism.

Roel is a person who has always sought out the best instruction possible, and he has never neglected sharing the wealth of information he has received with others both older and younger than him.

His feedback is honest, his care is genuine, and his insight is invaluable. Over the many years of working with Roel, I’ve only ever seen a love for his craft and a love for people. I highly recommend taking a lesson with him and seeing what he’s made of!
