WHO AM I?

A Dedicated Music Teacher

For over two decades, Brenton has been immersed in the dynamic music scene of America’s southwest. Graduating Magna Cum Laude from California State University Northridge marked the inception of his journey as a multifaceted musician, educator, and composer. His extensive performance repertoire spans across genres, from jazz ensembles and orchestras to musicals, metal bands, comedy troupes, and recording studios.


In 2000, I uncovered my passion and embarked on a career as a Music Teacher and performer. My joy lies in collaborating with others and experiencing the exhilaration when a challenging concept finally "clicks" for someone. With a gentle yet effective approach, I prioritize enjoyable, pressure-free learning experiences that yield excellent results. Let's delve into a conversation about my teaching philosophy, the diverse range of courses and classes I offer, and my rich background in music.
