Brad’s love for music began in middle and high school, playing brass instruments and singing in concert and jazz bands, choirs, and small ensembles. He then studied the trumpet, completing a Bachelor of Arts in Music with a Concentration in Education at Trinity Western University. His trumpet instructors included Henry Christian, Tom Shorthouse and Mark D’Angelo. At TWU, he played in the orchestra, concert band, jazz combos, and chamber choirs while taking additional voice and piano lessons as a foundation for teaching music. Brad has also been involved in several community ensembles and presently leads The Ol’ Jazz Factory Combo. While he is well-versed in the technique of several instruments and the mechanics of music theory, Brad always gets to know his students and their interests before digging in.
