Welcome! As a professional working bassist with 13 years experience, I’m determined to help every student build a strong musical foundation so they can confidently reach their goals.

My name is Bradford Beard and I'm a lifelong musician who is happy to share my knowledge with people of all levels and experiences! I have a Master's degree in classical guitar from New England Conservatory, experience playing in musical theater pits orchestras, and a long career writing and producing music both by myself and with bands! My teaching style is very individualized and goal oriented, and I can teach guitar, piano, vocal technique, and production. The best part is you can study with me from the comfort of your own home! I'm based out of Chicago but enrolling for remote lessons!
