About Brian R.
5.0
(4)
When I was seven, I began violin and piano lessons. I have performed in the Billings Youth Orchestra, led the Helena High School Orchestra, performed with Montana State University Symphony as Principal Second Violinist, and played in the Helena Symphony as well as the MSU Chorale. I earned my Bachelors degree in Music Education in 2018. I studied under the world-famous violinist Angella Ahn for five arduous and fruitful years.
I taught private violin and viola lessons in Bozeman for three years before moving back to Helena for my student teaching. As the final portion of my degree program, I taught the Helena High School and Capital High School orchestras and General Music for Warren and Bryant Schools. I love teaching music! I get to show my excitement and give music to anyone willing to try. Currently, I teach violin, viola, piano, and guitar locally in Helena. I experiment with electric violin, composing my own music, and play with my church and local bands.
I'm excited to guide you on your musical journey!

I started my violin lessons with Brian during my sophomore year of high school and continued with him through my senior year. He immediately began working with me on the music I had received from being in the Capital High School Orchestra. Throughout my years with Brian, we worked on perfecting many solos, creating beautiful ensembles, and enhancing my knowledge of music theory. Brian provided me a perfect transition as I moved from playing in high school orchestra to making music in my personal life. Whether you an absolute beginner or have been playing for years, I would absolutely recommend taking lessons from Brian! He is an amazing teacher, working with you every step of the way in pursuing your dreams in music, whatever they might be.

Brian is a great and patient teacher. He listens to me and pushes me when he knows that I can do better. He is super talented, super nice, and he has a good sense of humor. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
