Mike B. says, "Brian was my classical guitar instructor for a year-and-a-half and provided a great experience as a teacher. He was flexible regarding lesson time and location (often coming to my place for a small upcharge), patient, and knowledgeable. As a rock guitarist I struggled a fair amount with classical technique, and Brian gave thoughtful feedback as I slowly improved--he's not some old-school teacher who chastises with negative reinforcement. Brian chose instructional materials (both published books and custom lessons) that covered a lot of territory and maintained my interest. Above all, lessons were fun and stayed light-hearted."
