Brad is hands-down one of the most professional, respectful, and down-to-earth people I have ever met! It's not just a lesson- it's an experience. Makes my day every time I see him! 10/10 amazing, friendly guy who knows his stuff!!

I’ve had a great time taking lessons with Brad! I came in with ~11 years on cello, and wanted to learn violin. He was great at determining where I already was with music theory and reading and basing lessons off of what I needed to know instead of going over things I already knew. I especially appreciate that he’s very focused on proper technique while playing—Having learned the cello incorrectly, I knew that playing without proper technique can start to hurt in the long run, and I’ve had absolutely no issues after months on violin now. If anything, he’s helped solve some problems I was never able to in the past due to improper teaching from an older teacher! I’d highly recommend lessons here for anyone looking to learn a new instrument!
