Brian Roberts Guitar Academy

My 17 year old son has been taking private guitar lessons from Brian for over a year now. Under Brian’s tutelage, he has progressed from a complete non-​player to an enthusiastic budding musician who can play entire songs, including Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton, Dust in the Wind by Kansas, and the theme from Howl’s Moving Castle.
Brian is extremely down to earth, easy to talk to, and patient, making his classes fun and non-​stressful. One thing we love is that he videotapes the sessions and sends them to the students to review whenever they want. This makes home practice much more productive and helps the students improve at a quicker pace. Classes are affordably priced and offered at convenient times. My son takes his lessons on quiet Sunday afternoons which works perfectly with his hectic school and sports schedule.
My only regret is not starting his lessons sooner. Brian is an outstanding and charismatic teacher. We thank him for sharing his gift of music and highly, highly recommend him!

I have no music background and always wanted to learn how to play the guitar. Brian offers private lessons at his home and all lessons are recorded so you can reference back later. I have to say it was difficult in the beginning but after a few months I’m enjoying both my electric and acoustic guitar, thanks Brian!

I have been taking lessons for 4 months now from Brian and I have learned to play a few chords, scales and some songs. Brian also teaches music theory so, not only you learn how to play, but why. He’s a excellent guitarist himself and a great teacher, very patient and professional and breaks things down so it’s fun, easy to understand and keeps you engaged throughout the entire lesson. If you’d like to learn how to play the guitar. I would highly recommend giving Brian a call. He’s a gifted teacher.

All around outstanding! Brian is very knowledgable, very patient, and has a knack for personalizing lessons to what the student wants to learn.
I came to Brian with some experience, and very little understanding of the guitar, and he has taught me a lot! I wanted to be able to create, not simply regurgitate songs other people write, and I am well on my way to Jamming and Writing music confidently!
It’s nice to see the guitar school growing too. Recently Brian added a webcam for recording lessons, making it that much easier for his students to access and review their previous lessons!
No matter your skill level Brian will surely be a great addition to your journey as a guitarist. I highly recommend taking a lesson with Brian!

I have been playing guitar for many years without really knowing what I was doing, I would strum a song based on chords online but that was the extent. After trying to do a bar chord unsuccessfully for a long time, and being very frustrated I was starting to distance myself from the guitar. For Christmas my wife realized my guitar frustrations and setup lessons at Brian Roberts’s guitar academy. My last and only lesson for music was back in 5^th grade when I was playing the recorder, nearly 25 years ago. That being said, I was a bit hesitant to go to a formal guitar lesson. Long story short, now I have been to 6 lessons and have absolutely loved every lesson. I am amazed at the level of understanding of Brian Roberts and the ability to convey the information to a musical novice. The environment is comfortable, with parking available. Also, Brian records each lesson and posts it privately online, this was a huge help, because there is so much information to remember. After the lesson you can go home and review /​practice with the YouTube video (a huge plus). Now I feel like the guitar is a whole new instrument and I have a much greater understanding of it. And yes, I can now play a handful of various bar chords that I never could before. The lessons are very affordable also, absolutely worth it. I would highly recommend Brian Roberts guitar academy.

I’ve been playing the guitar off and on for about ten years and was looking for someone to really push me to a different level. I’ve tried a few other teachers and I felt fairly disengaged and didn’t end up sticking with it. I was so happy to find Brian — he’s easy to get along with, professional, flexible with your schedule, and really listens to your personal aspirations.
Brian records his sessions, is responsive to the needs of his students, and teaches through actual practice of songs that interest the student. I am at a totally different level than when I began my practice with Brian and enjoy playing the guitar much much more. Highly recommend.

Brian is very professional and has a nice set up with video recording and a fan (excellent!). He asked a lot of questions to determine my level of skill and then come up with appropriate exercises. I enjoyed my first lesson and will be back for more!
Bonus: VIP PARKING available for every student: D

Great energy, very comfortable environment, super affordable. Brian has exceptional knowledge and passion for music and the guitar, which is evident during every lesson.
Small room with top of the line equipment. Convenient parking.

After years of putting it off, decided to take guitar lessons. I am a beginner and Brian has no problem teaching anyone at different levels. He is a great instructor; patient and yet will motivate you to want to learn and progress. He tailors lessons to what you want to learn and your music interests. After 3 lessons I was already playing a song. He records all lessons so you watch them later as a reminder. Would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn or improve.

Very knowledgable. Very patient and professional. Low key. Records all sessions so you are able to review the lesson. This is very helpful. Very accessable, parking is super conveniant.

Brian is an outstanding guitar instructor. I’m 41 years old and have been playing for years and he tailors the lessons to my ability and not into a set by the book (canned) lesson plan. He also pushes me to go further than my abilities and then works me up to it, and the lessons are just plain fun. Highly recommend.
