Drew Brady (they/them)

Drew Brady (they/them) is all about keeping music lessons fun. They graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Theory, but their innate musical curiosity led them to become a singer, pianist, trumpeter, euphonist, guitarist, producer, and occasional gamelan player. They believe that music theory is a valuable resource that can do anything from helping people learn how to play their favorite songs to helping people learn how to write their own songs. They are well-versed in compositional techniques from various styles and time periods; from Beethoven to Webern, from Miles Davis to Thundercat, and from the Beatles to Olivia Rodrigo.

Drew wants to emphasize that playing music is just that, play. A student’s relationship with music shouldn’t be one dominated by feelings of stress or inadequacy, and Drew knows those feelings because they have had those feelings from music lessons before. While studying children’s musical cultures with Dr. Patricia Campbell at the UW, Drew learned that children are profoundly and innately musical, and Drew’s goal is to foster that musical relationship, regardless of age or experience.
