★★★★★Ms Lee is kind, patient and personable, and very knowledgeable. I had immediate results at my very first evaluation lesson where I learned how to breathe efficiently and use my diaphragm properly. I had instant results in reaching my higher range notes on pitch and with power. I signed on to continue lessons to improve and I can hear the difference. Working with Ms Lee has improved my confidence in singing in front of others. I recommend her to anyone seeking a caring and professional vocal teacher. She is also helpful in choosing songs that best suit my voice and style. I feel I have found my voice and couldn't be happier.

★★★★★Working with Rick has been an absolute game-changer for my vocal journey. His approach helps unlock technique and helps me discover my full potential in ways that feel natural and empowering. He gives so much of himself to ensure I grow, often going above and beyond with patience, encouragement, and a deep commitment to my success.

I knew nothing about EVs until he stepped in
★★★★★I can’t recommend Rick Denzien and Drive The Future Consultants highly enough. His work has changed my life for the better. Purchasing an EV was a scary step for me . A complete life change as I knew nothing about EVs until he stepped in. Rick patiently guided me through everything. He helped select my perfect Chevy Bolt, navigate rebates and test drives with ease. He installed a sleek home EV charger in a day ! I gave Rick a hard time because I had so much anxiety over the unknown but I must say Rick was right about everything. Now, I enjoy a fully charged Bolt daily, saving on gas and aligning with my eco-spiritual values. His passion for sustainability turned me into an EV advocate—I even join the EV shows which are more like live music festivals where you can network and help others learn about EVs. If you’re new to EVs, Rick and his crew will guide you effortlessly, delivering top-notch results.

Rick Coached Us - Helped Us Install Solar Remotely
★★★★★We had this solar system partially installed, and the installer just bailed on the job, left it unfinished and took off with our money. Some of the panels were mounted on the racking, but nothing was connected, and the rest were sitting in the garage collecting dust. Rick came out, took a look, and documented everything. Then over the next few weeks, he guided us through completing our own solar array – from installing and plugging in the panels to wiring the inverter to the house and the grid. He did all that from his initial survey and then just over the phone and video calls. Saved us thousands of dollars, and today we have a fully functional grid tied system. Rick's really good at explaining things so you get it.

★★★★★I went to Debra for voice lessons, she is an amazing teacher. She really helped me grasp concepts and helped me improve my vocal performance in a way I never imagined. She is a great teacher and I recommend her for anyone looking to seriously improve their singing ability.
Matt K., Orland, PAFrom DenLee Music School
★★★★★I'm loving every min of it.
Sarah M., Horsham, PAFrom DenLee Music School
★★★★★They helped me to be a much better singer and guitar player. Debra is the best vocal coach. The knowledge and skills are off the charts. I recommend them exactly because they deliver on their live music gigs too.
Fred V., Philadelphia, PAFrom DenLee Music School
★★★★★Debra is one of the best vocal teachers in the greater Philadelphia area, period. I've had the chance to hear some of her other students in live performances, and they all have seriously stunning voices. Before I started lessons I tried to learn on my own, but nothing beats learning in person. Debra is a truly exceptional teacher, so I highly recommend her!
Brian D., via YelpFrom DenLee Music School
★★★★★Without exception Debra and Rick are the best, friendliest, and most helpful teachers I have ever seen. They help my child every week and I have seen improvement over just a short time, not only with music but with attitude too.
Amy H., Ambler, PA · Mar 4, 2019From DenLee Music School
★★★★★Debra was very friendly and inviting when we arrived for 1st apt and went right into explaining everything she would be doing to help my daughter improve her singing. Rick gave us a tour of the studio - both were very nice and excited about music and bringing it to others.

Rick Figured Out Our EVs Software In What Seemed Like Seconds
★★★★★I just got a new EV and could not figure out how to do anything. Rick got in my car and literally figured the software in what seemed like seconds, hooked up my phone, showed me how to navigate and answered all my questions.

I wanted to thank you and your team personally for their active participation. (please share this with them) I believe it went a long way in helping our residents learn more about EV vehicles. We are already starting to plan for next year and would love if your team could be part of it.

“Her sweet voice can be powerfully successful on the rock numbers and equally gentle on the quieter selections. With piano and keyboards as expert instrument of choice. she transcends time in popular music genres with Carole King songwriting of the 70's , Debbie Gibson pop of the 80's, and Tori Amos/ Paula Cole creativity of the 90's”
City Paper, "Regional Recordings", by Warren KurtzFrom debralee.com
“Debra's voice and music have been compared to Carol King, Debbie Gibson, Tori Amos and Paula Cole. But once you hear Debra's music, you will agree that the only word to use to describe her melodies is ... beautiful.”
Dining & Entertainment, "Singing, Songwriting is Alive and Beautiful in Philadelphia"From debralee.com
“The 12-song offering is made up of pop/rock tunes that are well thought out, well produced and contain enough good hooks in some of the songs to warrant a strong look from the major labels.”
Out On The Town, "There is room for Debra Lee", by Al ThompsonFrom debralee.com
'Go Out And Play' is another in a long line of radio friendly modern music from Rick Denzien. Catchy melody, great instrumentation ingredients for a great listening experience for music lovers everywhere.

On this CD, the singer/author/songwriter/poet reminds me of Canada's great musical and poetic genius BRUCE COCKBURN... The album was better than I imagined. It became more impressive the more I listened to it... Intelligent, thoughtful lyrics with solid music by Denzien make 'EXIT 21' an album worth checking out.

Rick you are the man and Slot One is a safe environment when it really counts. My hats off to you my friend for your experience and state of the art studio. Drivetime will now be able to meet its deadline and obligations thanks to you.

Rick Denzien's music has an eclectic alternative rock style that reminds me of a mix between Richard Marx and Pearl Jam. Sounds strange, I know, but if Richard Marx had Stone Gossard on guitar and didn't sing so mellow all the time, you would have something quite like Rick Denzien. ... The really cool thing about Denzien's music is that while I was listening and liking it, I caught my mom tappin' her foot, too.

Catchy tune! Rick Denzien writes a very pertinent song that is very "in" with the times right now. The melody and vocals are reminiscent of Peter Gabriel. 'Go Out and Play's strong hook will be playing in your head over and over. Five thumbs up!

I have known the dynamic duo of Rick Denzien and Debra Lee for a few decades. They are partners in life and music and what seems like a sacred calling: Saving the Planet.

Never heard of Rick Denzien? Shame on you. You soon will. ... Listen carefully to Denzien's smart, edgy lyrics, filtered through catchy, driving guitar riffs and moody anti-ballads and you'll hear genuine talent.

The overall tone of the disc [is] very warm and inviting. The songs build and draw you in; the hooks captivate; the vocal harmonies reflect the thoughtful nature of the lyrics

'What You Won't Do' is a classic tune that I grew up with, and I jumped at the opportunity to record when Bernie Capodici asked. A big shout out to Rick over at Slot-1 Studios. Thanks for a great experience

This guy has a strange handle on pop/rock. The songs are in the deep-end lyrically, but the musical hooks grab you and have you bopping before you know what's going on. This takes skill, and Rick Denzien has plenty of it. The songs have a political edge, and Denzien wears his feelings on his sleeve.

In a sea of uncertainty, it is excellent to take a break and listen to some positive rock music. ... Overall, I'm impressed and emotionally stirred, without being exhausted or pushed to the point of tension. It is a great song to start a listening session.
