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.

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 is fantastic! Our 7 year old had his first lesson today and Brett was extremely patient, positive, and kept the momentum of a 7 year old brain going. I know Brett's methods and knowledge, and positive encouragement, will reflect on our son learning the guitar! Don't hesitate to hire Brett! Update 4/15/17: Still the best teacher ever! It's been a year now with weekly lessons and I can't say enough great things about Brett. My son thoroughly enjoys his lessons and never looks at it like a "task" that an 8 year old often would.

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.
