I’ve had a lot of guitar teachers in the past but Will has been one of the few that has stood out to me. Without a doubt would not be the guitar player I am today if it weren’t for him

Ms. Bruckner is very kind and patient with my kids. We have seen a tremendous improvement in their piano skills in such a short period of time, and couldn’t be happier. Ms. Bruckner truly cares about her students, and that makes a big difference.

Unfortunately, my son did not get the chance to work with James. We had to cancel our plans for his guitar lessons. He was extremely gracious and understanding. He worked hard to try and help find a day or time that worked for us. Once our house and schedule calms down, I will definitely contact him again. -D Green

Austin has been an incredible teacher so far. He’s punctual, results-driven and is able to adapt his lessons to my learning style. Billing and logistics have also been very satisfactory.

We love our lessons with BCC School of Music! The administration and staff are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and enthusiastic about what they teach. Such wonderful people! My children love their time there! We can’t imagine going anywhere else!
Centrally located in the upper Kirby area. Comfortable room for parents and siblings to wait (and listen a little!). Tons of easy parking!
