Arif is patient with my children and inspires. He lets them know their strengths, which empowered them to take their lessons seriously.

We have been working with Chris for the past 7 years. We started with him and our daughter when she was 5-years-old. Chris is an outstanding teacher, especially with children. He is patient, encouraging and very knowledgeable about effective methods for teaching piano to children. We have continued to work with Chris all these years because he is very flexible not only with his time, but also with the curriculum. We have focused most of our daughter's training in classical piano (Beethoven, Mozart, Bach), but more recently asked for pop (Pink, Ed Sheeran) and jazz-blues (Herbie Handcock, 12-bar form) training as well; which he is fully capable of teaching effectively. Finally, in terms of experience, Chris offers many years of teaching as well as his personal experience as a professional musician into his curriculum -- introducing interesting and useful ideas that make his lessons fun and exciting.

Does a great job at connecting with me. He’s really knowledgable in music and the way he teaches makes every step forward a lot easier process. He’s patient and knows how to adapt to each student to get the very best out of them.

Teach according to my aptitude. Good teacher!!! He possesses a most strong educational background and professional competence. Despite my limited self-study experience, he didn't force me into his teaching methods. Instead, he first understand my thoughts, assessed my abilities, and provided the space I needed while guiding me.

They come to you and make learning so convenient! It's the best way to learn any instrument. They have the best list of instructors and are so easy to work with!

Brett is absolutely a world-class musician and a phenomenal teacher. I'm not a professional guitarist, but I am a professional musician. Brett is THE best guitarist I've ever worked with in any context, by a huge margin. He can play and teach at a world-class level in literally any musical genre and playing style. Jazz? Yep. Metal? Yep. Extremely technical shredding? yep. Extremely expressive, beautiful acoustic music? Yep. Complex jazz harmony? Yep. It's genuinely astonishing. When I reached out for lessons, I'd already been playing guitar for over 20 years, but had plateaued at a kind of weird advanced-intermediate limbo for a very long time. I explained my goals and current ability to Brett when we first talked about lessons, and unlike other teachers who claim to provide tailored lessons but actually don't, Brett's lessons genuinely were very tailored specifically to ME. He of course had some well-prepared materials that we used, but how closely or loosely we adhered to them varied depending completely on what I wanted to focus on during a given period of time. He also developed materials specifically for the things we were working on. His attention to detail is astonishing, and his ability to convey complex concepts very simply is second to none. Beyond being able to teach incredibly well at ANY level, he pushed my philosophical limits as a musician, as a creator. He helped me to approach not just the guitar, but music and composition in completely new ways. He inspired me to become curious about everything I do on guitar. To become playful with the instrument, and with my own pursuit of knowledge. I developed a newfound enthusiasm for PRACTICE but also for exploration of the instrument. I believe that lesson with Brett contributed significantly to helping me become a much better guitarist, composer, and musician. You absolutely will not find a better, more knowledgeable, adaptable, and understanding teacher than Brett. I will definitely work with him again.
