🎶 Brent’s Teaching Style

Brent brings a rich and varied musical background to his teaching, blending classical training with contemporary styles like pop, jazz, and rock. His lessons combine:

  • Fundamentals (reading music, technique, theory)

  • Fun & familiarity (learning songs the student actually enjoys)
