Brandyn's Music Lessons
About
(VIRTUAL LESSONS NOW AVALIABLE)
My goal is for students to walk away from each lesson with something they can immediately show off to the world. Unlike traditional lessons that focus heavily on repetitive scales and arpeggios, I emphasize real-world application and creativity.
In my experience, this approach keeps students motivated, makes practice enjoyable, and leads to faster improvement.
I genuinely love watching my students grow—seeing their excitement as they develop new skills and truly understand the concepts is what makes teaching so rewarding.

Brandyn has been providing bass guitar and acoustic guitar lessons for about a year for my 13 and 11 year old sons. He is patient, kind, fun, and finds a way to relate to the kids while also providing an encouraging and educational lesson. I would recommend Brandyn to anyone looking for music lessons. He was able to engage the kids virtually, and in a fun and challenging way. He is a huge part of their growing love for music. Thank you Brandyn!

Brandyn is awesome! He listened to what I wanted to work on and we’ve been basing our lessons off of that. My understanding of the guitar has already greatly increased and my soloing ability has too. Thank you vibe for connecting us.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
1. Assess Musical Skill Level
We’ll start by establishing a baseline of where the student is musically. Based on their personal goals, I’ll tailor each lesson to fit their specific needs and aspirations.
2. Learn Through Songs & Theory
Depending on the student’s preferred genre and objectives, I’ll transcribe a song of their choice and break down its structure. Along the way, I’ll explain the foundational music theory behind it and show how to apply those concepts directly to their instrument.
3. Develop Effective Practice Habits
I’ll help students build self-motivation when practicing by teaching effective practice techniques. I’ll also recommend gear that suits their learning style and enhances their progress.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve been teaching guitar and bass since 2014. I hold a B.S. in Digital Media with an emphasis in Digital Audio Production from Utah Valley University. Based in Irvine, CA, I run a small studio and work with clients from around the world.

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching around the age of 18, when a family from my church asked if I could give their kids music lessons. The kids loved it, and word quickly spread. Before long, I had more students through referrals—and I’ve been passionate about teaching ever since.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with all ages.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I had one of my songs played on one of my favorite podcasts.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Put in the time, practice is everything. Your brain is like a muscle: the more you work it, the faster you’ll build the muscle memory needed to play almost anything with ease.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What do you want to get out of these music lessons? Do you want to play your favorite songs? Join a band? Asking yourself these kinds of questions will give you purpose every time you pick up the guitar.
