Thanks for watching and playing along with me! My name is Stuart Lehman-Brown, a teacher, music store owner, and musician in the San Francisco Bay Area. After graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston, I set up shop performing and teaching here in the North Bay. 15 years and 50,000 lessons later I’m still going strong, and sooner or later I’m afraid I’m going to start posting videos of my dogs. It’s inevitable.
