I had the privilege of being Mr. Duane Moody's student during my time at Berklee College of Music (2007-2011), and I can confidently say 1`that his teaching and knowledge changed my life and voice forever. His passion for teaching vocal technique and dedication to his students are remarkable. Mr. Moody has a unique way of describing, demonstrating, and creating a vivid picture of technique like no other, always going the extra mile to make learning fun and meaningful at the same time.
He helped shape my work ethic with his honesty, transparency, and boldness. It wasn't just what we worked on in the classroom but also his teachings that resonated in the back of my mind and pushed me as I worked to improve on my own. Duane sparked the fire I needed to become the most confident vocalist I could be and prepared me mentally for the industry as well. Thanks to his guidance, I developed the tools necessary to live not only as a recording artist but as a well-rounded vocalist. -

Duane Moody is a consummate musician and an electrifying performer. He is also excellent teacher with very high standards. If you want someone to tell you truth, and you do, he should be your choice as a teacher. I have worked with him many times as a pianist. He always gives one hundred percent! -

“What can I say about Duane Moody and his teaching style. First, he is a technician. You will understand things about vocal anatomy and production that grow you as a singer and a human so get ready for an education. Two, he ensures you have a solid foundation so you can produce and sing at your best for the long run without injury. This is key for working singers as this is our instrument our very bread and butter. Three, he is versatile. He himself is so schooled and talented in classical, Broadway, pop, R&B, jazz. You name it he can sing it and he can teach you to do the same. I can’t think of anyone doing this today with the integrity and dedication he has to the craft. “ -
