Brian is so encouraging, personable, and welcoming. He tailors my lessons to build on the skills I already have. He is respectful of children and adults. I always leave there supercharged to get home to practice! Love this guy! read more

My teenaged daughter took guitar lessons from Brian before she left for college. He has a compassionate heart and soul. He is very relatable even to my TEENAGER! He geared the lessons to what would keep her excited about playing and it's worked. She's committed to playing for life! Thanks Brian for being such an awesome influence on her!! read more

I needed some direction regarding my guitar and music development. A guitarist friend of mine referred me to Kooken Studios. I told Brian I was on a plateau and I needed direction to improve my playing. Brian and I played some of my songs at my first lesson. Brian mapped out an easy to understand assignment for the next lesson. Easy to understand explanation along with demonstration and practice at each lesson has helped quite a bit. I highly recommend Mr Kooken for adult guitar and music lessons. read more
