I have been going to Brian Chodorcoff to learn guitar for over 8 years now, and he is an amazing music teacher. I am 60 years old, and he has brought me further along musically then I could have ever imagined. He is extremely patient and knows how to engage and teach at any level from beginners to experts. Since beginning lessons with Brian, I've gone from novice to playing "out" at bars, open mics, etc. Any music and most instruments are fair game with Brian, so if you want to really learn your instrument, and enough music theory to make sense of things Brian is your guy! ” - Bill Olvey- Student age 60
Brian is such an amazing guitar teacher! My teen has been working with him weekly for over a year. Brian makes lessons fun, engaging and with just the right amount of challenge to keep my teen interested and motivated. He structures the lessons to meet my teen’s personal needs and goals. Brian’s teaching style keeps lessons enjoyable and my son’s knowledge and technique have been steadily expanding and improving. Brian is an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to learn or improve their guitar skills.” - Beth Rubin-Mother of student age 13
Brian is not only a supremely gifted musician, but a patient and enthusiastic teacher. Our son was 9 when he started taking lessons (on Ukelele), and Brian was quick to identify both his areas of natural strength and his musical interests. Within a few months, Elijah, who can often be difficult to motivate towards new pursuits, was enthusiastically learning both acoustic and electric guitar and even spending a some time on electric bass, all within the confines of their hour or so per week together. Just a year into their working together, Elijah is transitioning from novice to emerging musician, with a grounding in not just a bunch of chords but musical concepts that seem well beyond what we would have expected him to grasp, and which he wasn’t even fully aware he was learning. The experience, and the confidence that Elijah has developed through his early mastery has been wonderful. I cannot recommend Brian highly enough as a teacher for students of any age. He is a kind and encouraging and joyful and conceptually grounded musical savant. A rock and roller in the very best sense.” - Adam J. Smith Father of Elijah - Student age 10
I've been taking lessons with Brian for around 8 years, and can confidently say he is the best. He's an expert in every genre of music, and if he's not, he can become one within minutes. Whenever I mention Brian to anyone in the "Orlando guitar world," they know exactly who I'm talking about and have nothing but the best to say. As a teacher, Brian is nothing short of amazing. He'll teach you till you get it, and make sure it stays with you forever. Everything from basic chords, to the best of Van Halen, and everything in-between. ” - Gabriel Makowsky - Began lessons age 12 - 20 still taking lessons
I am a stay-at-home mom who has been taking guitar lessons from Brian for almost two years. I met Brian when he became my son’s guitar teacher. I was impressed with Brian’s patience and his sense of fun as a teacher. It didn’t take long to decide that I wanted to learn to play guitar, too! Brian is encouraging and easy going as a teacher. He tailors my lessons around songs that I choose so practice is enjoyable. I am thrilled with my progress and can't wait to see what I am playing a year from now. The lessons in our home are also very convenient for our busy family. Brian has turned music into a passion for our whole family! ” - Kay, age 44 Maitland, Stay-at-home-mom
