As a songwriter, Brian also had several opportunities to showcase his original music during his college years with other local bands. He continues to active write new music and seek out creative collaborations for his work.

He continued his role as an instructor through college and has had the great fortune of helping many students, young beginners through adults, learn the art of playing guitar and songwriting.

It is his goal to help prospective students gain the necessary skills to reach a solid level of proficiency, then shape their personal style on the guitar for the future and beyond.

His mission in lessons is to find what inspires each student and to give them a well-rounded foundation they can develop for a lifetime, as well as learn basic problem-solving skills through music. Brian knows it only takes one great teacher to open up the world of possibilities on guitar, and he hopes to serve as that inspiration for all students. Whether he's talking about the history of flamenco, Jazz, or teaching the basic progressions found in rock n' roll, Brian hopes students see his genuine passion for the musical arts and its traditions.
