Hello! My name is Garrett and I want to help you make beautiful music! I graduated with honors from both Citrus College as well as California State University Northridge and have been focusing on performing and writing music alongside teaching private lessons for almost a decade. Coming up through college I loved performing and have been fortunate to play with some great acts throughout the years (Mild High Club, NIKI, Barbara Morrison, Melissa Manchester, Tantamount Orchestra), helping to ad...

Garrett listened to my concerns, gave demonstrations, gave positive and encouraging feedback with a breakdown of critical, easy to understand theory. He also instructed me in what to practice to develop my improvisation. I have specific songs I want to learn so he incorporated chord breakdowns into my next steps toward learning these songs.

My daughter was very reluctant to begin online flute lessons. She's always had in-person lessons and she thought online lessons would be too difficult. She recently got an open hole flute and she was worried that learning the mechanics of how to play it would not work with remote lessons. After her first lesson with Garrett, she completely changed her mind. He explained things in a clear and precise way that my daughter was easily able to understand. She's been playing the flute for five years and during the first lesson, Garret was able to access what areas she needs to work on. After one lesson, my daughter, my daughter had made progress playing her new flute.

Garret B is to flute playing what Gandolf is to wizardry; kind, patient, and all-knowing.

I HIGHLY recommend Garrett for your flute lessons. Garret has a constructive teaching style. He always balances criticism with compliments (i.e. he says things like "what you did well was X' and what you could improve is 'Y' and here's how..."). This way of teaching motivated me to learn more. All the while, Garrett delivers his feedback with a patient, kind, and easy-going attitude. More technically, Garret was able to break down complex concepts, such as how to count rhythms, how to switch between octaves, and how to correctly intonate notes. By providing targeted strategies on how to adjust jaw structure, tighten and loosen embouchure, clap for counting, train my ear for tuning, and more, I left my lessons feeling well-informed and confident. Finally, Garret is extremely generous with him time, sending homework assignments and sheet music for any song you want to learn! He is clearly oriented towards teaching people to play AND enjoy their flute. I had a great experience learning from Garrett and can't recommend him highly enough!
