About Sam Brown Music Lessons

I Taylor each lesson to suit the needs of the student. For students in school band we focus on developing technique and ear training/ critical listening skills plus excerpts from various types of music ranging from classical to popular music. However, the absolute most important part of learning music remains: I teach how to make practicing fun. I've found that many students struggle in the beginning because they're told practicing is work, when in reality it should be more like a game which is how I continued my learning process after I stopped taking lessons myself. The joy I get from teaching is seeing that first spark of understanding in the eyes of my students while teaching music which by all means is not work, but the fundamental building block the of fun itself.

Sam is amazing at what he does! He is very responsive, always on time and flexible. His pricing is straightforward and very reasonable. He is very patient with my son and is very easy to get along with.

Sam is super talented and a fantastic piano teacher. My daughter looks forward to her lessons for the first time. We are so grateful to have found him.

Sam is simply put - an outstanding music teacher! My three boys have been taking weekly piano lessons with Sam for about a year now and we have seen tremendous progress in them reading and understanding notes and rhythm. I have also learned so much from watching how Sam tailors the entire lesson in following their individual learning speed, motivating and working around their different personalities! Sam's kind and collected nature along with his "piano whispering" methodologies has given to our family the lifelong gift of music and a great model of dedication and perseverance. We are so grateful to have found our perfect teacher!

Sam is so excited about teaching the saxophone to my son. His enthusiasm is contagious! He is patient and kind and knows how to give that gentle push so that his student can reach the next level. We are excited to work with Sam and are happy to be at a beginning of a musical journey.
