Instruments: Drums Music

Greetings, my name is Brett. I've had a passion for the intricacies of rhythm since I was a boy. As a teen, I began playing drums and progressed at a highly advanced rate. My teachers would assign one page out of a book for the weekly lessons. I'd learn the entire book that same evening. It wasn't long before I attended the FUI Studio Jazz and Performance program. I realized that I conveived of rhythm in a way that wasn't being taught in schools or universities. Read More

Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Euphonium Music

I look for abilities and goals of my students and I foster them to achieve those goals. I also work hard to find methods that work for individual students. What I have found over thee years is that each student has different needs when approaching playing an instrument and so I look to identify those and work with the student's strengths. I also try and find creative ways to help students overcome various issues, such as developing range or learning to feel a steady sense of beat. Read More

For beginning students who are children I use varying method books such as Faber, Bastian, Leonard etc. These method books do a wonderful job of progressing the student naturally and gradually which is my style of teaching.

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I have taught privately on and off for 5 years now and I have taught all levels and at a variety of ages. No student is the same so in the past I have set out a path for each student dependent on what they want out of music and what interests they have. I believe in making lessons fun but at the same time I want my students to really go away from each lesson feeling inspired to practice and feeling like their time with me was well spent and they learned a lot.

I first started working with children when I was attending Florida State College. I took a course on elementary education, and did some field work at a local elementary school. It was there that I found out how much I really loved kids. I had a wonderful time in the classroom. It was fun getting to know the students, and I loved how their faces lit up when I read them stories or helped them with their arts and crafts. Read More
