Piano, Guitar, Ukulele & Voice Instructor

Brian is a pianist, guitarist and vocalist with a decade of experience teaching music. His rural high school didn’t have a music program so Brian began studying music at a community college when he was 15. He earned an A.S. in Music Education there and went on to play in dozens of bands, recorded a plethora of albums and performed all over the country. He is fluent in many musical styles. He later earned a B.S. in Film Studies from Portland State and is just as happy talking movies as he is talking music.

Brian’s number one goal with each of his students is to help them cultivate a joyful musical practice.

Brian says, “Building a repertoire and improving technique is important, but the real magic happens when we can count on music and can draw from that creative well for strength and inspiration throughout our lives.”
