Bradley just loves music! He began studying piano at the age of eight. His interest in the field of special needs and piano pedagogy began in high school when he found himself unprepared to teach a student with special needs. This stirred something in him and as he went off to college, he began to scratch the service of special needs and piano pedagogy. Later, in graduate school, he devoted most of his time researching this topic for his master’s lecture recital. Bradley has done extensive research as well as presentations and workshops in this field. He holds an undergraduate degree in Piano Performance from Oklahoma Baptist University and a Master of Music in Piano Pedagogy from Texas Christian University (TCU).
In 2021 he founded The Center for Piano Pedagogy and Special Needs, a website dedicated to gathering known resources for teaching piano to the special needs student. In October of 2022 he completed a certificate in Special Needs and Inclusive Education. In addition he is a Nationally Certified Teacher of Music (NCTM).
Prior to his current positions, he has held teaching positions at The Coppell Conservatory, a Graduate Assistant at Texas Christian University, The TCU Preparatory Department, Parker Piano Studios, and the Oklahoma Baptist University Preparatory Department as well as maintaining a private studio since 2013. He has also held a position as an intern at The Frances Clark Center for Keyboard Pedagogy. Bradley has taught private and group piano, music theory, and aural skills to pre-college, college, and adult students. See Bradley's 2020 Senior Recital performance.
He joined the staff at the Music Place in 2025 and currently serves as the Faculty Development and Curriculum Administrator as a support to both the faculty and the executive team.

Testimonials
"Aside from being incredibly talented in music, Bradley's greatest strength is his ability to connect with children on their level. [My child] felt very comfortable learning from him as Bradley made him feel like a peer rather than restricting him with a formal teacher-student relationship. They would often discuss super heroes or funny cat jokes before slipping into a new concept in piano." ~ Madhavi S.
