“I took lessons with Brian for almost ten years. During my time studying under Brian, I was exposed to a variety of genres and approaches to drumming that became invaluable to my development as a musician. More importantly, he gave me the tools to continue my music education on my own by teaching me the importance of ear training and improvisation. Brian is largely responsible for my solid foundation as a musician and is a big reason that I still play music everyday.”

“I have been studying music with Brian for about a year and a half now, and I can say that it has been one of the greatest things I have done for myself. He has been the third music teacher I have studied with, and he has by far been the best. Brian’s dedication to not only music, but his students is simply amazing. He listens to his students, which is what makes him an incredible teacher. His knowledge of music all around is absolutely amazing. I have studied both drums and guitar under Brian, and I look forward to many more years of learning from him.”

“We were searching for a drum instructor to assist our son in developing his percussion skills that he started learning in music class at school. Brian delivered on all levels. Everything from Brian’s music theory and knowledge to his kind rapport and flexibility makes him a perfect fit for our now 17 year old. Our son is very happy working with Brian and looks forward to continuing his lessons for the foreseeable future.”

“I studied with Brian during my formative years of learning drumset. Without exception, he was approachable, kind and encouraging. His teaching and playing always serves a musical goal, which is surprisingly rare in private instruction. As a music teacher myself, I use many of the same resources and techniques Brian taught me. His instruction helped me build a foundation that informs my approach to the drumset and the classroom to this day.”

-Gabe M.

“Brian is nothing short of an incredible teacher. Through the 5 years I studied with him, he maintained a balance between building technique, listening, and building a unique drumming vocabulary that made the drums feel consistently exciting without sacrificing musical rigor. Brian’s an all-around brilliant drummer and educator–I consider myself immensely lucky to have had the chance to learn from him!”
