LESSONS

MENTORING YOUNG ARTISTS FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS

Mr. Bradley maintains a small and exclusive private studio for intermediate and advanced students, alongside a limited number of beginners (including adult beginners), in the disciplines of violin, conducting, composition, and music theory—including preparatory coursework for AP Music Theory and conservatory entrance examinations.

Mr. Bradley has worked with thousands of professional young and adult string players across the United States, some now among the most visible and critically acclaimed artists in their field. Especially promising and advanced students who demonstrate exceptional skill and readiness may receive opportunities for engagement with professional local ensembles and/or studio sessions.


Private Lessons

Private lessons are scheduled at least once weekly, or—as required for auditions and/or competitions—twice weekly. Instruction is delivered in the student's home, individually tailored, offered in forty-five to ninety-minute sessions (depending on the age/level of the student), and structured in sequences of four to eight lessons per month.

Remote lessons via Zoom are available for students not local to Los Angeles.

For younger students, a guardian must be present during lessons.

Ninety-minute lessons are valued at $200 each (or pro-rated accordingly).

In furtherance of Mr. Bradley’s dedication to developing outstanding talent regardless of background or circumstance, a limited number of merit-based scholarships are available and awarded only after a successful audition.


Cancellations

Studio policy with regard to private lessons is simple: Payment for the following month's lessons are due in the last week of the preceding month. Should there be a need to reschedule, such amendments are accommodated through mutual concordance with Mr. Bradley. Please be mindful that lessons foregone without due notice of twenty-four hours will be respectfully regarded as chargeable.


Auditions

Underscoring Mr. Bradley's commitment to cultivating exceptional musical proficiency, acceptance into the studio is contingent upon a rigorous audition. Beginners are assessed through foundational musicianship tests and an interview.
