History

Established in 1995.

Our music school in Portland grew out of the teaching of Brian Eliason, who created both the complete instruction method as well as the Goldilocks teaching method. This method was so successful that Mr. Eliason began teaching the method to other teachers in the Portland Area. The school has grown from 40 students to over 325 students and the method is used for guitar, violin, cello and piano lessons. Mr. Eliason’s goal was to design a method of teaching that would simplify learning an instrument so students could learn comfortably and with ease. The method has proven to be very helpful and popular and it continues to grow.
