About
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.

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.
