"Brandon Graves is a fantastic mentor and guide in music and in life. From my start in middle school, and even now as I’ve become a professional drummer, what Brandon has taught me has stuck with me."

- Andrew Wray, former student and professional drummer

Creating a Space for More Than Just Drums

  • More Music is Better

    Enriching my student's lives to absorb as much art and music as possible. Teaching the connection between their art and their humanity.

  • Honesty

    I am in pursuit of expression, authenticity, and vulnerability and these goals are never-ending. I try to bring these qualities to every lesson.

  • Changing the Narrative

    Helping students find their voice and embrace their humanity and original expression through breaking away from common perfection oriented narratives.
