For over 25 years, I’ve been guiding students of all ages through the worlds of music composition, songwriting, and piano performance. My teaching blends a deep respect for tradition with a creative, student-centered approach that encourages discovery, curiosity, and personal expression. Working with me means you’ll get a mentor who listens, inspires, and adapts lessons to fit your goals—whether you’re writing your first song, learning piano fundamentals, or refining advanced compositional techniques. I studied music composition in USC’s prestigious Advanced Studies Program, where I was mentored by legendary figures such as Jerry Goldsmith,

Gracie H. says, "I’ve been taking bass lessons with Jeff Brent for about 5–6 months and recently started guitar lessons with him about 2 months ago, and I couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made. Jeff is an incredible teacher—extremely talented, intelligent, and deeply knowledgeable about music. What really sets him apart is that he doesn’t just teach tabs or shortcuts; he dives into music theory and explains things in a way that makes it click. It feels like I’m learning the right way, with a strong foundation that will benefit me no matter what instrument I pick up. Jeff is also super flexible with scheduling, which makes it easy to find a time each week that works. The fact that he teaches through Zoom is not only convenient, but it also makes his lessons affordable since I don’t have to drive anywhere. On top of that, he can teach just about any instrument ( except trumpet🤣), so I know I’ll always have room to grow under his instruction. He’s not only a gifted musician and teacher but also a genuinely nice and funny person, which makes lessons something I always look forward to. I honestly wouldn’t want to be taught by anyone else from now on. If you’re looking for a teacher who knows his craft inside and out, makes learning enjoyable, and adapts to your needs, I can’t recommend Jeff Brent enough. He also has a band called 7heSep787 check him out on youtube!" Read more

Barbara B. says, "Cullen is a very clear, warm and knowledgeable teacher of Garage Band, the program I am currently learning to use. He answered my questions and presented more very important information for me to know about that is essential to getting the professional sounding recording I am after. He is a good listener, sticks to the subject and answers all my questions quickly and clearly. I look forward to our next lesson." Read more

Jeff is an extremely talented, knowledgeable multi instrumentalist who also has the gift of being a patient and entertaining teacher.. in the time that I have spent with him, I have not come away from one session that has not, in varying degrees, improved my understanding of and playing ability on my instrument.

Deborah Brener is an excellent teacher. She is patient and kind and always checks in to make sure the way she is teaching is working for you. Her Piano studio is great as well with 2 side by side grand pianos. I would definitely recommend Deborah Brener to anyone looking to learn piano for the first time or just looking to improve their playing and take it to the next level.

Eiki is not only the best music teacher I've had, but also one of the best teachers I've had in general. She has a lot of experience under her belt and you can tell she knows what she is doing when you sit down at a lesson with her (regardless of your level of piano competency). She brings a lot of energy with her and is flexible and very present with you at every lesson. I would recommend her to anyone looking for fun and very effective piano lessons.
