You may not know this - or never stopped to think about it - but two people can pick up the same exact guitar, plug it into the exact same amp, strum the same chord, but achieve different results. Additionally, a person who has never played an instrument and has zero understanding of music theory can't tell you how to play their favorite song, but chances are they can tell if you're playing it wrong. These concepts are why music is the universal language. In the first scenario: no two people will ever have identical voices and use identical vocabulary. In the second: even if a person doesn't understand the language you're speaking they...

Hi there! I am a passionate Pacific University alum with a degree in Music Education, a teaching license, 12 years of experience in music, and a drive to share my love of music with the world.

Hello! My name is Brian Kennedy and I am looking to help students reach their vocal potential to the fullest! I have background and training in Musical Theatre and Pop/Rock, graduating from the University of Northern Colorado in 2020 with a Bachelor's in Musical Theatre. I have also been regularly performing with regional theatres in the Portland area for several years. While I have been fulfilled in my work, I miss getting the opportunity to help others develop their own talent and express their own art through their work in a healthy way.

You may not know this - or haven't noticed this - but, two people can pick up the exact same guitar and strum the same chord and sound differently. My philosophy with music instruction is to focus on quality of the notes you play, not the quantity. Everyone wants to be able to shred, but chances are your favorite songs are not your favorites because of a face melting solo.
