About Briar
I am a passionate guitar instructor with a Bachelor's degree in Music and 9 years of teaching and performance experience. My journey began with a deep love for string instruments, which led me to formal music education and countless hours of practice, stage time, and collaboration with musicians across various genres. Over the years, I’ve taught students of all ages and skill levels, from those picking up the guitar for the first time to intermediate players aiming to break creative barriers. My teaching style is practical, encouraging, and tailored—focused on building strong fundamentals while allowing room for personal expression and exploration. I believe in blending technique with creativity. While I emphasize precision in areas like rhythm, finger placement, and theory, I also encourage students to experiment, compose, and discover their unique sound. Each lesson is a step toward helping students not only play music but feel it. Beyond teaching, I stay active as a performer and learner, continuously exploring new styles, gear, and methods to keep lessons engaging and relevant. I see guitar not just as an instrument, but as a lifelong companion—and I aim to pass that joy and connection on to every student I teach.

Our guitar lessons are structured to suit players at any stage, from absolute beginners to those seeking to elevate their current skills. Each session is thoughtfully planned to match your pace, musical interests, and learning style, ensuring steady progress and a rewarding experience with the instrument.
Core topics include mastering chord transitions, developing fluid strumming patterns, and exploring fingerstyle techniques. We also introduce improvisation and basic music theory to deepen your understanding of melodies and rhythm. Whether you're interested in acoustic storytelling or electric solos, the lessons adapt to your genre preferences—rock, blues, pop, or classical.
As you grow, you'll engage with more advanced skills such as solo construction, playing by ear, and composing your own riffs or progressions. Practical exercises and jam sessions are part of the journey, helping you build muscle memory, timing, and creative confidence. You'll also receive tips on equipment use, stage readiness, and personal practice strategies.
These lessons are more than technical drills—they’re about discovering your voice through the guitar. Whether you're learning for fun, performance, or personal growth, you'll find a supportive, goal-focused environment designed to help you thrive musically and creatively.
