Introduction
I offer encouraging and engaging instruction for beginners, intermediates, and professionals. I tailor lessons specifically to your goals..we play what you prefer, and then I add techniques, practice exercises, and music theory to bring you a rounded explanation of how to get better, faster. I bought my first guitar in 1996 and am so very glad I stayed with it! I'll bring an enthusiasm to music that will delight and inspire you! I love people. I love music. I love teaching. This is my calling, and I'm very grateful! Lessons are currently $50/half hour out of my home studio.

I have been trying to learn guitar on my own for a couple of years and didn't have much luck. Also, I knew that I am a slow learner, and as a result was hesitant to take lessons for a long time. I started with Brett a couple of months ago. First day was awesome, he had handmade me a custom folder with my name painted on it and everything! :) That was a great start. For the weeks after that, Brett has been amazingly patient with my slow progress. He adjusts the material and reevaluates constantly. Has given me great advice on various guitar-playing related things, like how to build up a consistent practice habit or buying the perfect guitar that lasts long and sounds good while being inexpensive. One last thing I missed to mention above, is his responsiveness. He is really busy but is also flexible with the schedule and moving things around if you need to. All coordination is normally done in under 5 minutes. I highly recommend Brett to anyone who wants a carefully tailored learning program and a great teacher. :)

Brett is very cool, and easy to work with . We learn new songs every week and I'm excited to practice after every lesson!

Brett is terrific! So enthusiastic and effective. My son is picking things up more quickly than I expected and looks forward to his lesson each week. Highly recommend Brett!

Brett is really nice, and although we've just started with two meet-ups now, my son is excited and encouraged with guitar. He's "practiced" a few times each day already, and for a six-year-old, that's a great thing. Brett is very positive, lets my son experiment, and talks to him with respect.

Brett was a great guitar teacher. He always kept me engaged and wanting to learn more. I am sadly going to college so I can’t keep taking lessons with them, but I have learned a great basis with him !
