My aim is to provide a progressive course of guitar instruction. I provide the students with a great diversity of materials and opportunities according to their individual requirements. The training is designed to allow the students to pursue any variety of interests leading to technical excellence and a broad awareness of the world of music and the guitar. 

My studio has been located in the Bay Area near Stanford University, California since 1979. 

I offer a broad range of styles and am capable of helping the novice or professional alike. 
 Accelerated Learning Techniques will save you lots of time, and you will learn HOW to learn in the most efficient and enjoyable way possible. 
 

On-line & correspondence Lessons available also, subject to my work load.
Here are a few free online Jazz Lessons.

Ken Brown is a distinguished classical guitarist whose repertoire embraces music from Latin America as well as jazz and contemporary styles. His versatility and creativity combine to make him a sought-after musical talent. Ken's experience includes many successful concert appearances locally and elsewhere. In addition, he has played for weddings, fine restaurants, and conventions.

As a way of supporting the community Ken has played numerous benefit concerts.

He is a well known Bay Area music instructor. After succeeding Soundboard editor Peter Danner as head of the guitar department at Menlo College until the music department was cut, he now teaches privately at his studio in Menlo Park, California.

Ken has studied with many of the most influential masters of the classic guitar, including Andres Segovia. and Pepe Romero along with several of the jazz guitar greats like Joe Pass, Barney Kessel, Laurindo Almeida, Jorge Morel and Howard Roberts.

I'm available as part of many duo combinations!
I feel the duo is the true expression for jazz, when two musicians get together and talk . .. and the vocabulary consists of rhythm, and harmony, and the form of music.
