Hello! My name is Ben Bradley, and I’ve been a traveling street performer since I was just a kid. I began living in my Toyota Highlander playing guitar for gas money and food when I graduated high school, and music took me everywhere I wanted to go. I got to see the world on my own terms. My dream is to give you this gift of music, a gift that will allow you to play life by your own rules, a gift that was once given to me. Whether you want to learn your favorite songs, learn how to jam out with friends, or learn music theory and even construct your own melodies, I’m with you every step of the way.

Classical and jazz trained, I've been officially lesson-taught for 13 years. Now a Junior at the Berklee College of Music, I've continued to study jazz as well as branched out into a range of other genres. No matter what type of music you're looking to learn, I'm here to teach it! The way I teach will be catered to each individual person, so no two experiences will be the same. I find the best way to progress as a musician is to learn how to play what YOU want! I will consult you about the types of music (genre, technique) you enjoy and would like to acquire, and we'll get after it. You'll not only learn how to play, but how it applies to

I have a masters degree in Music Education, and have been a public school music teacher. I currently work as a professional musician and music instructor. I love helping students enrich their lives by learning to play music.

I specialize in teaching students how to truly play with others—whether it's jamming in a casual setting or performing in a band. With a strong focus on improvisation, groove, and musical communication, I help guitarists and bassists of beginner to intermediate levels unlock the skills needed to connect musically with others in real time. My lessons blend the expressive freedom of jam-based music and jazz with solid foundational techniques applicable to any genre—from rock and funk to blues, soul, and more. I also offer comprehensive instruction in bass guitar, focusing on rhythm, feel, and the essential role of the bass in group settings.
