Brandon is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend. He responding quickly to my request for lessons. His knowledge and understanding of the guitar was truly impressive. I have found his help invaluable and will continue to turn to him for advice and lessons as I am learning to play the guitar. I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn. He is kind and extraordinarily capable. -Melissa

My 9 year old daughter had never picked up a guitar before taking lessons with Brendon. She's doing great and is falling in love with it already. I'm so impressed that he's not just teaching her how to play the notes but everything from good posture to proper positioning to reading music. Brendon is personable, patient and professional (alliteration not intended). I would recommend him to anyone wanted to learn from scratch or hone your craft. He's a great teacher.

Brendon is an excellent teacher! I am currently taking guitarlessons with him. People learn in different ways, and Brendon is good at explaining things in more than one way until I understand.
With so many free videos and tutorials online, it may be tempting to try to learn on your own. However, Brendon provides help and insight that is specifically tailored to what I’m struggling with- something you can only get by taking lessons in person!
Also, my work schedule is different each week, and I travel often for work. Brendon is extremely flexible and is able to accommodate my schedule!
I highly recommend taking classes with Brendon!

This young man is the real deal. He’s extremely patient, knowledgeable, and professional. I look forward to my lesson each week. He is able to pinpoint my errors (in a really friendly way) and immediately comes up with practical solutions.
Brendon is awesome. 🎸🤘🤘

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Whenever I start with a new customer the first thing I do is ask them about what they want to accomplish. ultimately the lessons are about them and what they want to achieve so it only makes sense to make sure they are getting what they want out of them. once they tell me, I work my hardest to make sure their goals are met and they grow in the areas that they want to!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have studied guitar, violin and Piano for two decades and have been teaching people for 8 years to date.
