Testimonials
"Brett has taught my kids music for 5 years. He is a fun loving teacher with such an abundance of musical expertise! He inspires my kids and they have grown as musicians. Layla is 14 and has confidence to publicly perform as a singer and with her violin. Goose my 11 yr old son has played with Brett for years and asks about practice. Brett has also taught him about chords, scales, rhythm, and most importantly how to have fun playing ukulele. Thank you Brett for all the time in putting together public performances and teaching my kids music."

" Brett has been working with my son for about six months as his guitar teacher and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. He is a positive force in his life. Brett is patient, responsible, kind, flexible, and creative. He works with my son to show him new music, and also takes much extra effort and care to help him learn the music of the bands that my son likes. Our whole family looks forward to the lessons with Brett and I can recommend him fully as an instructor for anyone in your family - young or old."-Cindy McMackin

"My 6 year old Eleanor regulary does one-on-one lessons with Brett on the ukulele; her ability grows each time. His patience, and ability to cater to his students as they grow is one is one of the most remarkable things about him as a music teacher. He makes learning fun, because it's easy to see he loves what he is doing. If you're looking for a teacher who inspires, I highly recommend booking Mauka Melodies!"

"Mauka Melodies 5 ⭐️’s in my opinion. Brett Z is a wonderful teacher. He brings in all the right components to each lesson that I appreciate, as a lover of music and beginner Ukulele player. Each sesson he gives me a bit of several components that help me evolve as a Uke player beyond learning just chords. He has the knowledge/ education and experience as a musician and teacher of music to round out your lesson at your skill level. He is kind and supportive with each next challenge and is right there with you to keep the fun going in whatever music style you enjoy." -Karen
