Niel Brooks
Guitar

Niel is the 'mad scientist' of the Eastside teaching staff. He is excellent with beginners, and specializes in fingerstyle, country, Americana, and jazz. Niel is always pushing students to listen to as many different styles of music as possible, and to never become complacent.

When not teaching, Niel performs in small auditoriums and coffee houses, builds instruments out of found objects (what most would consider trash), collects vintage field recordings, and obsesses over modern sculpture.
