    Brian is an excellent teacher. First he assessed where i was at musically, we determined some goals and in a very short amount of time I feel like Ive learned a regular course worths of music theory.
    He breaks things down into a way that I can understand it.
    I look forward to many more lessons!

    Brian Murphy is an amazing guitar teacher who has helped instill in our sons a lifetime love of making music. His enthusiasm and personality makes lessons fun and complement his extensive knowledge of music theory. He is patient and flexible, makes sure to tailor his lessons to the pace appropriate for each individual student and has helped our kids learn music and guitar skills at a much faster pace than we had thought possible.

    Brian is hands down the best guitar teacher out there! Our daughter picked up the guitar for the first time this September and within a few short weeks Brian has taught her how to play many songs. He is professional, knowledgeable, reliable and makes her lessons fun.

    Brian has turned our son into a little rock star! His first lesson he learned a Beatles song! From there on: Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Animals, Nirvana, The Lumineers, Bob Dylan. No “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” in this guitar class. He’s made our son so cool- and he doesn’t even realize it yet! We are so proud! Thank you Brian Murphy!!
