Hello! My name is Barret, and I could be your new private lessons instructor! I have been playing music for most of my life, and teaching music for the last 8 years. During my time teaching, I have taught students of all ages, backgrounds, and ability levels. Whether you are just starting out, looking to pick an instrument up after years away, or a current player looking to improve, I am a great fit for you. My first priority with a new student is to get to know your musical wants and needs and to find out how I can best meet you where you are. I then temper our lessons to best suit those needs and carry you through and beyond the musical goals that we set.
My teaching style is very individualistic and focuses on teaching music through your instrument. I recognize that all students take lessons for a wide variety of reasons, and I will approach our lessons with that idea in mind.
Here is what you can expect when taking lessons with me:
A fully customized curriculum that fits your wants and needs.
Learning music that you want to learn, from classical, pop, film score, video game, jazz, Broadway, rock, and anything in between.
Music theory and ear training.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
We highly recommend Barret! We love that he customizes my son’s lessons by bringing in music based on his interests and skill level. Every other instructor we have had just relies on an instruction book, and anyone can do that. It is definitely worth paying a little more for lessons when we see the significant results week after week!
I am pleased to recommend Barret as an exceptional teacher. He is consistently kind and patient, creating an environment where students feel supported and confident. His depth of knowledge is evident in every lesson, and he has a rare ability to explain concepts clearly and effectively. Barret’s instruction is easy to follow, thoughtfully structured, and always delivered with genuine enthusiasm.
Beyond his expertise, Barret is simply fun to work with—his positive energy and approachable style make learning both enjoyable and engaging. Any student would be lucky to learn from him, and any program would benefit greatly from his talent and dedication.View more recommendations
