Introduction

I have a masters of music in guitar performance from Illinois State University and a bachelor's in guitar performance from the University of Arizona. I have been a lifelong multi- instrumentalist focusing primarily on stringed instruments, piano, and vocal music. I customize each student's lessons to his/her personal musical goals while being sure to incorporate proper technique and make sure that he/she understands what he/she is playing, not just memorizing notes or chord changes. I have a fully functional recording studio in my lesson room and can make custom materials to ensure your advancement. I enjoy watching my students become competent musicians. Several of my prior students have gone on to have successful careers. It truly is fantastic to receive a link to a new television or radio commercial or copy of a former student's new album. Being able to give someone the tools to become the person he/she always imagined himself/herself to be brings me an immense sense of contentment.

I have faithfully tried learning the guitar for five months now. I have tried to learn about it on and off for a few years. I could've saved SO much time and made so much more progress by going to Mr. Lashley a long time ago! I learned more with him in 25 minutes than I learned on my own in weeks (and I'm a fast learner). He explains why your particular guitar is built the way it's built, how each component works while you're playing it and how to get the most out of each part while you're playing it. He even teaches you some of the physics of the instrument that really play a part in the way you strum! I have paid for online tutorials and taken highly recommended free ones and hadn't ever seen the spike in progress that I had in our first session. I would HIGHLY recommend this gentleman. His home is a very safe and comfortable environment and his wife is very nice as well.

Brett, is a wealth of knowledge and just sweeps you into no time within this dimension. I had a 2 hour lesson with Brett, that I actually thought was 1. He answered so many of my dim light bulbs and made them shine again. I cannot wait to see him next week.

Great lesson for my 8 year old son! Brett is professional and knows what he is doing. My son is a beginner and Brett has him interested in learning with his fun teaching methods.

Brett was very knowledgeable and was ready with handouts when I arrived for my first lesson. We did some exercises together and I know what I need to do for practice. I felt accomplished at the end of the lesson and understood what my next steps were. I look forward to continuing to work with him to learn how to play the banjo.

Brett is a great teacher. Sadly, due to my work schedule, I have been unable to take lessons from him in over a month. Thankfully, he sent me away from my last lesson with a lot of material to keep me busy and practicing. I highly recommend him. He is a great teacher, a knowledgeable fellow, and after a lesson or two, can really gauge the lessons to your playing style and ability. Cheers.....AB.
