Guitar Center Yonkers 214 Market St. Yonkers, NY
Branden Girtman is a talented and experienced musician, who remembers being attracted to music from a young age. He recollects sitting on his father’s lap after church on Sunday's banging away on the drum set and also being exposed to different genres of music such as gospel, jazz, R&B, and hip-hop by his parents. This influenced his love and passion for music, even though his understanding was limited, he loved what he heard. Growing up in the church, he always found it hard to gain exposure on the drums, because they were already many drummers. However, as he became older and as was the only drummer left, he quickly learned and stepped up to fulfill his new role. Branden often remembers a turning point in his musical journey, when he was replaced as the drummer at a convention because he was not good enough and vowed to start practicing to become a musician. At age fifteen, Branden started to take his music seriously, applying himself more and making good use of his gift. With God, hard work, dedication, and consistency Branden has been the drummer for his church for the past seventeen years. He has been blessed with many opportunities to travel the world performing music, playing for R&B artist Leela James. Branden has also been a recipient of an endorsement with Spaun Drums and was the house drummer for the club Groove and the Red Lion in the Greenwich village in New York City. He continues to thank God for the opportunities that have come his way so far in my life, and is looking forward to the great things yet to come. Branden has graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Music from Lehman College (CUNY) and is currently enrolled as a student in the Lehman college (CUNY) graduate program for Musuc Education. Branden’s musical foundation was laid in the church and he believes nothing compares to playing for God in church every Sunday.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
