Mr. Braun was a great teacher. I did not have a great singing voice but he made me an important part of the choir at MBCI. He created in me the importance of doing my best with the gifts I have. The confidence that he gave us was turned into action. We all improved because of his direction. I am so grateful for him. My sympathy to the family. - Posted by: Gordon Seier (Former Student ) on: Feb 12, 2019

He was one of a kind. They truly don’t have teachers like him today. Always new games each recess. Friendly enjoyable afternoon reflections. “ Genius 🎶 music “ teacher that appreciated talented students. If he was not inspiring he was replacing another broken music stick. We used to sing a choir song “Old Abram Brown”. As young talented grade 7 choir boys we’d sing it respectfully as old Peter Brown... A nice guy enjoying rewards. I am sure he’ll enjoy Heavenly Music. - Posted by: Corneilius O. (Student ) on: Feb 09, 2019

So sorry to hear of Mr. Braun's passing. He was a great teacher and made you want to sing from the rooftops, even when you did not have the voice for it. He had a great sense of humor. Thank you Mr. Braun for your love of music and dedication to your students. Thoughts and prayers to all. - Posted by: Shauna Beatty (Former Student) on: Feb 03, 2019

He was my favorite teacher and so much of what I learned about music was because of him. Every time I sing on stage my mind goes back to my choir days at MBCI. My sympathy to the whole family. My prayers are with you all. - Posted by: Mona Scott (Previous student) on: Feb 02, 2019
