Red Tree Performance Academy

Dustin is such an amazing vocal coach! He shows nothing but love and enthusiasm for everything he does. His critiques are spot on and he's always trying to pull the best out of every student. Plus, he is just so fun to be around! Highly recommend!

I am Reece Brathwaite a 14 year old who at first didn’t know the first thing about singing, that is until I met Dustin Jodway. Ever since my first lesson my life has changed for the better, I have learned and improved so much and I know Dustin is proud. I was shy and didn’t know anything about singing, and now I’m harmonizing with my brother Julian Brathwaite. I always look forward to attending my singing lessons every week because Dustin is like an uncle to me and once you meet him you will feel the same way. He has boosted my confidence and has brought me out of my shell to where I am now confident enough to sing in-front of people, All that being said I am so very happy to be a part of the best performance academy and definitely recommend joining the Red Tree community.

My name is Julian Brathwaite, I am 17 years old, and have been taking Dustin’s vocal lessons for three months now. And may I just say Dustin has truly changed my life, he’s done nothing but help me tweak and perfect my voice. He treats like family and and makes me feel super comfortable, Dustin has made me realize that it’s ok to make mistakes and that I can learn from them to help build my voice even stronger. I definitely recommend going to Red Tree Performance Academy and I believe that they will truly give you the help you need to succeed.

We have had Dustin and Bree from Red Tree Performance Academy coming into our day program for neurodiverse adults for the last 4 months and we are impressed every week with their enthusiasm, professionalism and passion! Our participants have grown in leaps and bounds in their confidence to try new things and stand up and perform in front of others.The encouragement that they receive from Dustin and Bree is truly making a difference ❤️Connecting with instructors who are not only experienced in, but passionate about working with neurodiverse individuals, and who do so in a respectful and individualized way, is a rare find and we are so grateful to be collaborating!We HIGHLY recommend Red Tree to anyone seeking an inclusive and encouraging space!~Stacey CookCo-Founder + Director of Programming

I have been seeing Dustin at Red Tree since the beginning of November and all I can say is wow!!! Vocally I have achieved more than I thought was possible, my technique has grown in leaps and bounds and I’m hitting notes I never dreamed possible.. and even better he makes it fun!!!! I’ve recently signed my daughter up for lessons with him as well, as a nurodivergent child with ADHD it is often difficult to find ways to keep her engaged even when she is fully enjoying what she’s doing. Dustin has found ways to allow her to be silly all while still learning proper technique (she loves to be a buzzing bee). I can not recommend RedTree academy enough.

Dustin was amazing to work with. He was fun, engaging and boosted our daughters confidence in herself. He explains things in ways children can understand but doesn't dumb things down. He meets them where they're at and brings out the best in his students. Our daughter loved her experience with Dustin at Red Tree Performance Academy.

Dustin was and always has been an incredible coach. So welcoming and has innate ability to make you feel comfortable! He is so knowledgeable and really challenged my skills and developed my abilities so I could sing strong, powerful and with confidence. He really worked well in the dynamics of my voice and pushed me to connect more with what I am singing and let my feelings through. We really broke down some walls working together :)

Dustin is my son’s vocal coach and much more. With his skills, warmth, sense of humour and patience, Dustin has helped Thomas, who is neurodiverse, to rediscover his love of singing and regain his confidence to perform. So glad we found RedTree Performance Academy!
