As a child prodigy, my music talent was discovered at the ripe old age of three when I began playing Christmas carols on a toy piano I got for Christmas. After 16 years of private tutors, a scholarship to the Conservatory and studies of music Theory, Drama, and Conducting in College, I decided I didn't want to teach I wanted to play. I began a lifelong career as a pianist, writer, producer. I started playing for Sunday School in the Third grade and have continued to play for various churches as an Organist, Choir Director and Minister of Music for the past 45+ years. I began my own production company in the early 70's and have produced numerous productions showcasing the talents of young and old. My students range from 5 years to 87 years young and I specialize in teaching Seniors how to fill their retirement years with music. Although some instruments may best be learned when you are young so you can develop the required callouses I believe everyone can play something even...

My passion is teaching! I could search my whole life, and never find anything I enjoy doing more. You could call it my "calling," for lack of a better term. That's probably why I've been so successful in my career. I've taught students as young as 4 years old, and students who are in retirement.
The success I've had, comes with years of taking private lessons, performing, studying, and always keeping an open mind to new ideas, and relating my experience with all my students.

Hello, my name is Brian and I am currently studying my Bachelor's in Music Education at VanderCook College of Music.

The school teaches us a basic understanding of 17 instruments and voice, while also teaching theory, aural skills, music history, professional ed courses, and includes a large number of various ensembles. Because of this, I'm able to teach some basic concepts on all of the band/orchestra instruments. Personally, I started taking piano lessons in 2000 and started drum set lessons in 2002. I've always had a dual musician life after that point, and was apart of the band and jazz band programs from 5th grade until now (sophomore in college). While attending Marist High School, I taught myself guitar, bass guitar, banjo, harmonica, and tin whistle. I expanded my concepts of music and genres, and find myself very knowledgeable of classical, jazz, rock, blues, and...
