About me

Pianist/composer with 10 years experience: professional in jazz, pop, and classical!

I specialize in teaching technique, score interpretation, and improvisation/composition. As an improvisation teacher, I use guided listening, score study, and repertoire playing. I also focus on developing a strong inner ear, so that a student can create whatever they're hearing. An inner ear is just as important when engaging with score interpretation, and I teach classical piano with this in mind.

I specialize in teaching technique, score interpretation, and improvisation/composition. As an improvisation teacher, I use guided listening, score study, and repertoire playing. I also focus on developing a strong inner ear, so that a student can create whatever they're hearing. An inner ear is just as important when engaging with score interpretation, and I teach classical piano with this in mind. As a technique teacher, my teaching is based on the Taubman approach to piano playing, and incorporates other approaches by pedagogues such as George Kochevitsky, Abby Whiteside, Tobias Matthay, and more. With this approach I can give you a solid, comfortable, injury-free control over the instrument.

Student reviews

Anton
Brendan is a compassionate human being, an exceptional communicator, and a deeply committed artist. He always guides his students, as well as colleagues who seek his advice, with patience, humor, and deep insight. He has a great ear for musical detail, the ability to diagnose and solve technical issues, and the ability to distill complex music theory concepts into smaller, comprehensible bits for the uninitiated. I cannot recommend Brendan highly enough as a music educator.
Nicolas G
Brendan is a formidable teacher. Able to adapt to any level whether you’re learning your scales or need technical help to deal with issues on a specific Chopin Ettude, he has you covered. I’ve learned so much with him. He also has a lot of gig experience and has played with very strong musicians. 👌
