About Brian
I have been a professional guitar teacher (private and class) and performer/band leader for 25+ years. I studied marketing and music at the University of Maryland and got my degree in marketing. I continued studying music with several recording artists through the National Summer Guitar Workshop.
I would like to finish submitting this application but a professional guitar teacher doesn’t charge $23/hr. Perhaps an amateur teacher might charge this amount but I cannot. If I knew at the start of filling out this application that this was required, I would have stopped.

I have taught thousands of students of all ages and levels, focusing on fundamental skills and techniques which they apply to learning their favorite songs.
I believe in encouraging my students through exhibiting patience and an understanding of their individualized needs and therefore, incorporate a variety of teaching skills to meet diverse learning styles.
My instructional method encompasses teaching certain guitar skills that can be applied to most musical styles, and uses a series of songs that act as building blocks in learning these skills. In addition to a pre-selected group of songs, students are encouraged to pick songs that appeal to them, which further involves them in the learning process.
Most importantly, I believe that learning how to play guitar should be fun. Many other instruments require a more formalized and structured approach to teaching, including learning to read standard musical notation. The guitar is primarily a chordal instrument which uses a combination of tablature (TAB) and chord diagrams. This much easier and makes se
This teaching approach allows beginners to start playing from the very first lesson!
Often, students leave the lesson thinking that they have learned what the instructor taught, but when they get home and review what they learned, they don’t remember as much as they thought they would. One unique thing I do to help the learning process is to personally record parts of the lesson. These recordings, which are emailed to students, reinforce the lessons and can be used as a practice aid. Providing audio in addition to sheet music/tabs really enhances the learning experience.
