Music can be seen merely as entertainment, or as a means of self expression and communication. The guitar is an amazingly versatile instrument, with it’s capacity to produce melody, harmony and percussion, all at the same time. As my student, you’ll be taught to maximize the power of this ever ancient, ever new instrument by learning: Rhythm (strumming and finger picking) Melody (playing the “tune” of your favorite songs): Harmony (the chords and multi-note patterns that build off the melodic leads) A good player is more than a mechanic who knows positions and technique: A good player knows MUSIC, the theory and patterns that shape the ac...

I have been taking voice lessons with Dan for about two months now, and have noticed obvious improvements. Dan demonstrates and communicates concepts in a way that is easy to understand and he also gives clear and actionable feedback. Beyond this, he is friendly, accommodating, and responsive -- all amazing qualities to have as a teacher and person. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn more about music.

It was a great way of learning Brazilian music. It covered everything including rhythms, Harmoney, structure of the song. Also Julio provided hands-on tips and technique of the guitar. I recommend this not only guitar players but everyone who want to learn Brazilian music.

My daughter took guitar and piano lessons with Brian. We were both very pleased with the lessons. My daughter which was 7 at the time switched from guitar to piano. He made the transition easy for her and was extremely patient while she made up her mind on what she wanted to do. I was impressed on how much she learned and she continues to take lessons. He truly sparked that interest and motivated her through every lesson.
