Barry Brown

VOICE, PIANO/KEYBOARD

Barry is a born and raised Colorado performer and educator whose professional background spans the U.S., Canada, and Europe, including the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and fourteen years with the 17th Avenue All-Stars.

On both voice and piano, believes that music instruction is most effective when it is as unique as the student and offers an adaptive approach. He understands that a "leaned in" 5-year-old beginner, a budding musical theater performer, a budding singer-songwriter or band vocalist, and a 90-year-old hobbyist all require different tools and communication styles.

 

Barry teaches to the specific learning style and desires of each student, whether that's mastering a difficult audition piece or simply finding joy in playing favorite songs.

On piano, Barry emphasizes the playfulness of games and joy of discovery, using playing by ear or reading sheet music or chord charts. For voice students, Barry specializes in preparing singers and songwriters for live performances, finding the right keys for songs and getting them "stage-worthy."

When not performing music, Barry is a multidisciplinary artist. He is a four-time consecutive winner of the Denver Paper Fashion Show and a nationally award-winning Master Pumpkin Carver featured at Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO - voted #1 Theme Park by USA Today.

 

First Concert?: Andraé Crouch and the Disciples.

What song could you listen to all day long? Anything by the Big Band era crooners, or the modern masters like Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Bublé.

Favorite hangout? Anywhere where the food is excellent and the conversation is deep.

What is your favorite thing about Swallow Hill? My favorite moments are when I’m on stage providing accompaniment or backup vocals for my students who dare to perform in public. There is a specific, exhilarating transformation that happens when a performer realizes they are actually doing it. Supporting them while they are on stage, giving what they have to give, is the BEST!

 

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced musician looking to take your playing to another level, private lessons can help you get there! Private lessons are available for kids, teens, and adults for a variety of instruments and skill levels.

Please contact the Front Desk at 303-777-1003 if you need any assistance in finding a teacher or scheduling a lesson!

General Info & Policies

  • Member discounts apply to private lessons ($2 off per 30 minutes)
  • Students must register for their lesson(s) at least 24 hours before. Swallow Hill does not offer same-day scheduling.
  • There are two options for scheduling, Recurring and A la Carte (see below for more details!)
  • Lessons are not available to schedule more than 4 weeks in advance.
  • All lessons are offered in 30-minute increments. To schedule a 60-minute lesson, please schedule two 30-minute segments back to back.

Recurring Lessons

Recurring students meet with their teachers weekly. Recurring lessons are great for students looking for a consistent and reliable schedule, and they are billed on a monthly basis. Students may keep their regular lesson time slot as long as the teacher is available and the monthly payments are made on time.

  • Students may cancel a recurring private lesson at least 24 hours before the lesson to reschedule or receive an account credit on their account. No-shows and cancellations within less than 24 hours will not receive a refund or credit.
  • If a student needs to cancel a recurring lesson, only one can be canceled each month. That cancellation must be more than 24 hours in advance of the lesson. No-shows and cancellations within less than 24 hours will not receive a refund or credit.
  • If a student needs to change their recurring private lesson time or day, contact the Front Desk. We’ll do our best to find another time and day that will work for you. This will be at the discretion of the teacher’s schedule and space availability.
  • Recurring lesson payments are billed monthly and due by the 20th of each month for the next month’s lessons.
  • Prices*:
    • $32 for 30-minute lesson (member price $30)
    • $64 for 60-minute lesson (member price $60)

*An additional $1 off per half-hour discount is available for recurring lesson students who opt in to auto-payments.

A La Carte Lessons

For students who need more flexibility, our A La Carte lessons are designed so you can sign up for lessons as needed — whether it’s to supplement what you’re learning in group classes or just to work on a specific skill. If you’ve got an unpredictable schedule, A La Carte lessons help you maintain and build your skills when your calendar allows.

  • Students may cancel a private lesson at least 24 hours before the lesson to reschedule or receive an account credit. No-shows and cancellations within less than 24 hours will not receive a refund or credit.
  • Prices:
    • $33 for 30-minute lesson (member price $31)
    • $66 for 60-minute lesson (member price $62)
