“Mark Shapiro is an excellent instructor who teaches to the unique needs of each individual student. He took time to get to know me as a person, pushed me outside of my comfort zone, was patient and gave me the tools I needed to overcome challenges I faced in my conducting at that time.” — Aram Demirjian, Music Director, The Knoxville Symphony

“Mark Shapiro‘s patient insight into all the skills and professional areas encompassed by conducting was of enormous value to me as I was first exploring this career path.” —Lidiya Yankovskaya, Music Director, Chicago Opera Theater
