Here's what others have to say about the lessons:
"Brian is a terrific teacher who really makes learning how to play the guitar fun for children. His knowledge and enthusiasm make every lesson both educational and enjoyable. I would recommend Brian to anyone looking for quality lessons that will keep your child engaged and excited about learning." - Cleo
"I've been playing for years, but Brian was able to transform my lead playing by showing me simple tricks that were easy to apply to my own practice. If you're looking for inspiration and new insight into how to play guitar, I think Brian is a good choice - whether you're a beginner or an experienced player looking to get excited about playing all over again." - Shy
"Brian has been teaching my daughter guitar for a little while now and we've both been pleased with the results. He's great with kids and is always considerate of her specific interests in terms of musical genres and technique . I'd recommend him if you are looking for a guitar teacher who is fun, patient, and child-centered. He really follows the lead of the child in what they are interested in learning and then both builds on their budding skill set as well as their emerging musical passions." - Laine
"Brian has been our son's (9 years old) guitar teacher for almost a year now and he is GREAT! Brian is patient and goes with the desires of the student instead of adhering to a rigid teaching method. I would highly recommend Brian for any young person seeking to learn guitar in a supportive and fun environment." - Joanna P
"Brian is an excellent choice! I have "messed around" with learning guitar for almost 10 years now. Brian is the first teacher who has taken the time to show me "how it all works" in the macro sense of the term. He has that rare ability to balance "what you want to know" with "what you should know" as a musician. This is a rare quality. His patience and skill at teaching are not easily found. I would recommend him to anyone, and already have!" - Michael
