Brian is very professional and knowledgeable of all music genres. He has been teaching my son both jazz and classical piano and has been a great inspiration for his piano learning journey. He makes challenging music theory topics easier to understand. The lessons with him have been a pleasure and we highly recommend him to anyone!
Brian has taught jazz piano for our son for the last two years. Is is a fantastic person and very effective and detail oriented teacher. He simultaneously has high standards, but is also friendly with students and well liked by our son.
