An exceptionally talented instructor, Ellen is technically instructive and encouraging in a calm positive way. She readily identifies my limitations, and devises solutions that allow me to overcome and progress. Her endless patience combined with obvious practical knowledge results in the exact environment that suits me in a personally satisfying manner, which means I thoroughly enjoy the experience and thereby practice with more enthusiasm and interest. Highest kudos. -JP

What you’re looking for is someone who cares more about the art form than its commodification, and this is the guy. Brian West isn’t just some guitar teacher, this is a Flamenco guitarist who loves what he does, Paco de Lucia style. Brian isn’t some real-life YouTube how-to guy who reenacts a script and forces a bovine smile to remind you how much he doesn’t care about you as much as he does the sum you just paid him. No, he cares alright. I specifically remember his patience and candor when I didn’t practice well or on time, or the subtle excitement in his eyes when I successfully learned one of his assigned classical pieces. Brian and his well-groomed beard don’t come to your house with a classical guitar just so that you learn Wonderwall, you’ve chosen someone who truly loves the intangible feelings and sensations of playing with an emphasis on technique; you will get good. Don’t worry though, you will easily imbibe his advice. He’s particularly good at explaining small details even to the most novice ear. The only thing standing between you and getting proficient within a few months is you. Otherwise, Brian will be right there watching on your path to appreciating the guitar.

Ms Andrea and her fellow teachers at MBM gave both of my kids a strong foundation in musical theory AND fostered a love of music. Both are now devoted band members in middle school and high school.

Both of my children have taken lessons from Owen and it has just been a wonderful experience for our family. Excellent teacher that knows how to bring out the best and is always an encouraging and positive influence. So glad we found Owen!

Rob was my guitar teacher from 8th grade until I graduated high school, and was an amazing teacher. He is patient with beginning students and tests the skills of advanced students, allowing them to conquer any song or skill they wish to learn. As a beginning student, Rob was able to give me the confidence to continue practicing and playing guitar, and inspired me to play long after my lessons ended. Rob's extensive understanding of music theory allows him to customize his lessons, for he is able to utilize this knowledge to teach the quickest and most complicated of riffs and songs. Additionally, Rob cares about his students' personal lives, instilling deeper connections. I would highly recommend Rob to students of all ages and skill levels.
