Mr. Brown is not only a great instructor, he is One of a kind who has a great passion for music. He is patient and teaches with enthusiasm. He can also play the guitar very well. He spends time pouring wisdom into my sons and I'm Truly grateful for him. We truly feel that we have found a hidden gem in Buford with this guitar program. We highly recommend it, very affordable as well!

Mr. Browne is so commited to his students not just playing the guitar but intimately learning the guitar. He uses the Childbloom Guitar curriculum that focuses on mastering musical literacy. This program coupled with his experience within muscianship will have you child proficient in the guitar. My son has been working with Mr. Browne for 5yrs and counting.
I am proud to say he can fully read music and he is eager to play varied genres of music. As long as your child is willing to do their part by practicing Mr. Browne is worth the investment and one more thing - it's just a ton of fun

Mr. Browne is the absolute best! My 3 children (11, 9 &8) have been taking guitar lessons from Mr. Browne for two years and the growth they have experienced is phenomenal. They had 0 musical knowledge prior to starting the program and had never held a guitar. Currently, they are reading music and have a foundational knowledge of music theory. Their grandfather has played guitar his whole life and says the kids have surpassed his abilities. Mr. Browne uses the Childbloom method which focuses on establishing technique and theory that is developmentally appropriate for children.
While the program focuses on classical guitar, they play a wide variety of music and Mr. Browne often provides music that fits the child's interests. He is great with the kids! They have a blast and are inspired to do their every week!

My daughter has been taking guitar lessons here for many years. Mr. Browne is an incredibly talented musician and a great teacher. He is very technique driven and the students learn the right way to play guitar. He makes the classes fun and entertaining, but with skills they will take with them to other instruments or disciplines. Highly recommend!

Childbloom is an amazing guitar program! Mr. Browne teaches at the pace of the students and encourages a love for music. He has been teaching my son for the past two years and I have watched my son grow in confidence and skill. We highly recommend this program for anyone wanting to learn to play the guitar!

The Childbloom Guitar Program's approach to learning how to play the classical guitar is done in a way that is not overwhelming to the student. Students learn how to read music, while mastering the guitar. My grandson has taken lessons for 5 years through this program and he is an amazing guitarist. He has been able to learn the concept taught in this program and apply them to his own playing style. This is definitely a program that I would highly recommend.

My daughter has been taking lessons from Mr. Browne for 2 years. I can attest that Mr. Browne is truly passionate about the children learning the correct development/technique for learning to play the guitar. He is truly patient with the children. With children, like my daughter, who don't practice as they should, he uses techniques of encouragement and examples of what they could become.
Far different from my days of music lessons where lack of practice meant levels of disappointment from the teacher. Childbloom uses a method of basic technique to expand the child's appreciation of music and builds upon the foundation to grow each child musically. The price for such an experience is well worth it.

Mr. Browne is a master at teaching guitar. Our son has Autism and has been studying at Childbloom for nearly a year now. During this time his concentration and focus has increased tremendously. Mr. Browne has shown so much care, and patience it has made such an impact on our son. We would highly recommend Childbloom and especially Derwyn Browne.
