“My son initially had the pleasure of working with Gamble, the music director, in two different programs in which he was involved. After those positive experiences, when he was in need of a vocal coach, there was no hesitation in contacting Gamble. That’s who he wanted. Gamble’s experience teaching kids, knowledge of musical theater, together with their mastery on the keys and various digital music tech programs all come together for great audition prep and the needed audition cuts/tracks.  I’ve seen greater confidence when he walks into an audition after his coaching sessions with Gamble. They bring out his best. Besides helping him prep, Gamble is a 10/10 on his cool scale! So great!”

“Gamble worked with me for several years as a musical director for high school productions. I can safely say that they’re one of the most gifted choral and music directors I've ever worked with or been around. The students responded to them incredibly well, always wanting to work hard for them. The students grew under Gamble’s tutelage beyond their expectations, and our shows always sounded great. Honestly, I was never able to figure out exactly what they do to make them sound so good, but they need to keep on doing it!”

“I have had the privilege of working with Gamble in multiple capacities, including sound technician for our production of The Wedding Singer and track creator for several of my vocal auditions around the Greater Metropolitan Atlanta area. They are dedicated to their craft and a true and reliable resource for last-minute emergencies. They also have one of the most welcoming and compassionate personalities, which is very refreshing in this industry. Consequently, their choice in vibrant hair color is a constant inspiration to all of us.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gamble for several years. Gamble has been a great asset to my music making. Gamble is apt at making arrangements that are singable, fun to learn, and interesting to the listener. Their work is prompt and polished. Gamble is a wonderful keyboardist/percussionist/singer/music director and is able to switch between all of those in a moment’s notice. The work Gamble has done for me and with me has been excellent. I highly recommend Gamble for your arranging, performance, and educational needs. Best of luck on this new adventure, Gamble!!!”

“I can’t speak highly enough of Gamble’s talent- specifically for being able to make a group of kids who’d likely be “in the shower/car singers” sound harmonious. A lot of kids that Gamble has taught are reluctantly participating in a choral event, and yet Gamble finds a way to put them together to sound like they were born with talent. They wind up enjoying the process, too! That, in and of itself, is a difficult skill set to find: a person who can convince middle-school kids (who already think they are too cool) to participate joyfully in something they did not want to do in the first place. Further, they are patient and flexible in working with the kids (and the parents!), and you can see that Gamble loves their work. They have an incredible ear and gently push the students to a place of excellence and work tirelessly to get them there. And yes, Gamble inspires them to be comfortable in their own skin/body/hair/gender identity. They are incredibly patient with the adults while we practice using the correct pronouns, too! Gamble has life experience beyond their years and excels in helping others, and not just musically.”

Linda Floyd

Early Learning Music Teacher,
The Galloway School

“Gamble and I were part of the music team in our school, including the choral, band, strings and general music teachers. I served as the accompanist for the groups Gamble directed, and they accompanied our elementary school groups on several occasions. They were also the director of the pit orchestra and chorus for the High School musical where I served as piano accompanist.  

“Gamble assimilated quickly into the school community upon arrival, connecting with our faculty and students in a positive and energetic manner. Their enthusiasm for the job and our community made them an immediate asset to our school. Gamble has been, by far, the most competent musical theater director for whom I have played keyboard in my 31 years at our school.  They were organized in rehearsals, prepared, and efficient. Gamble’s innate musicality made it easy to follow them as an accompanist and pit band member. Gamble was kind, thoughtful, and capable of bringing out the best in our students.”

“I’m really enjoying my lessons with Gamble and highly recommend hiring Gingerbread Music for your music needs! It’s really intimidating to try to learn a new skill as an adult, but Gamble always makes me feel at ease. Our lessons are very fun and specifically tailored to my goals and interests as an artist. I also really appreciate the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere of their home studio, including the cute doggie and kitties that greet you at the door. It’s clear to me that Gamble possesses the necessary musical knowledge, skill, and talent while also being a truly exceptional teacher. That’s a rare combo, so don’t wait to start learning from Gamble!”

“Gamble is warm and pleasant, while also making sure I get the most instruction for my time. They make sure to ask where I hope to get so we can have achievable goals together. The lessons are an ideal blend of professionalism and friendly personableness in the most genuine way.”
