I'm a guitarist and composer living in Richmond, Virginia. For over ten years I've been creating some of the most original and genre-bending music in the city and in that time I've honed a teaching skill set that revolves around each individual student, and keeping music fun for them. I've worked with everyone from artist and saxophonist Matana Roberts, to expat hip hop producer Jneiro Jarel (JJ DOOM) and his music has been featured on NPR and BBC Radio. Read More

As a teacher, I always want to accomodate to the student's vision of what he or she would like to achieve through learning music. Personalizing lesson plans and objectives in this way is extremely empowering to the student and promotes more devotion of time to learning outside of the lessons. I strongly believe the most important way to measure a student's progress is by setting short-term and long-term goals. By helping the student develop or facilitate their goals, learning music is far more rewarding and will become an activity that will last a lifetime. Read More

My main goal right off the bat for my students is to get them playing from the very first lesson, starting with basic chords, and even have them practice a simple riff or lick from a song that they might recognize. In my philosophy, because this is how I was taught, it is important to keep the student interested, having fun, while still learning the things that they may consider "boring." I do this by implementing songs that they may know, or songs that they want to learn, and use that to teach what chords the song is using, what scales it might be using, and from that, have them practice the song and chord or scale accordingly.

Teaching is the best job. I enjoy every bit of my job. It has its ups and downs but on the whole, it's fulfilling when you help individuals to leave school with the outstanding knowledge and know they have a future. Teachers arent defined by one specific set of characteristics. Theres no cookie-cutter template for teachers, says Britt. The most important thing is to know your strengths. Trust in who you are as a teacher and let it shape your experience, from lesson-planning to instruction. Read More
