Before coming to usa i used to take lesson From accomplished guitarist in my home country, i was well versed with fundamental guitar theories like modes arpegios for examples.

The good thing about Harris, he will bring the best out of you whatever styles u play with. Forever indebt for the priceless lesson i got from himaybe in most affordable price around here......

Just wanted to mention the great experience I've been having at the Fleming School of Music for the…read morepast year. I'm taking guitar and ukulele lessons, and I am really impressed with the quality of instruction. It's one thing to know how to play, but it really is an art to be able to convey this knowledge to others - and it's something they are very good at! I have taken some lessons at a couple other places in the Issaquah/Bellevue area, but for me, what sets the Fleming School of Music apart is that they have the whole package, and don't just provide me with lessons but also teach music theory and composition so I have a complete, well-rounded understanding as I move forward in my music education. The school has a computer lab where I have been able to go in and learn how to create my own music and do my own beat mixing, etc. - super fun! But, my absolute favorite thing is the location itself. The atmosphere is great as it's housed in a charming older building that has been remodeled with a really classy performance hall where their own recitals are conducted. (Since I am an adult, I have elected not to be in the recitals (phew!), but I have gone to a couple to watch the younger students perform, and they are so fun (especially the Holiday recital) and a great way for parents to gauge the progress of their kids!) There are lots of choices in our area for music, but this one gets my vote!

I have had my 6 year old daughter in the program for one trimester now. She is learning the piano…read moreand has really enjoyed the program. This place seems very well rounded... Meaning they have private lessons once a week which is replaced once a month by a group theory class. After a private lesson the kids spend some time on the computer to tune their ear to different beats and tones. To top it all off there is a very nice recital once per trimester to give them a chance to work on public performance. My daughter loves it all. However, my biggest issue with the way things are ran is the lack of parental involvement in the progress towards goals. There isn't anything in place that spells out the goals in the first place. I keep having to ask "where are we?" "What are we currently working on?" How is progress being measured? At this point I feel as though no one is directing my daughter's progress and I have to keep advocating for her which puts me in a very uncomfortable situation. I feel that an educational program should report progress to parents at regular intervals. I would like to see more transperancy as to what she is learning in the computer lab and in theory. I would like the instructor to communicate with me as to my daughter's strengths and weakness. I can not blindly trust in a program it must first earn my trust. So I will give this another trimester and if things don't change we will move on to a different program.

She is now a year old, and incredibly interested in instruments of all kinds, but mostly percussion :). We knew we wanted music to be a big part of our daughters' life, and getting her started as an infant has been exactly what we had hoped - it's fostered such a natural interest for her! There have also been a few articles coming out recently (the most recent in the New York Times) about how early music education helps with brain development, language development, and organization/memory. BONUS! :) Connie Coffman, the teacher of Songbird, is FANTASTIC. She's a wonderful leader, enthusiastic, and engaging. Her love of children of all ages is apparent in every class. We plan on continuing to attend this class until my daughter ages out :).

He picks songs based on the preference of the learner and sprinkles in a bit of music theory and note learning along the way so it doesn't feel like work.

Would definitely recommend him as a teacher!

He has taught me not only how to play but much about music in general. Brian's method has you playing songs as you learn which makes it much more fun.

I have learned to play a wide variety of songs from several Beatles tunes to some classical. I strongly recommend lessons from Brian. BR
