Musical aptitude is not a requirement for clients who come to Colin Bradley’s studio.

“I’ve always felt that music is an acquired skill, not something you’re born with,” he said. “The harder you practice the better you get.”

Bradley, a graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, recently opened Sunroom Studio where kids and adults can learn to play a variety of instruments.

Located, appropriately, in the small sunroom of his family home in Point Connett, the space is a way for Bradley to pass on his 17 years of experience as a musician.

A New Hampshire native, Bradley began playing the guitar as a kid. His grandfather, a former pastor of the Mattapoisett Congregational Church also influenced his musical leanings, giving the young musician a piano.

Music, said Bradley, “is always something I’ve felt comfortable with.”

He’s also pretty handy in the kitchen. While studying film scoring, Bradley worked his way through college as a chef, which he continued to do full time after graduation. For a few years, he was the chef at How on Earth while also performing at various venues in the area.

After getting married, Bradley decided to focus more on music. Several nights a week he can be found in a number of bands playing blues, folks and country on the piano, organ, pedal steel guitar and the ukulele. Teaching music has also become a passion.

“I enjoy people learning to play music,” he said. “I enjoy teaching because I enjoy working with kids. They definitely bring a smile to my face.”

Most kids learn piano or guitar, but Bradley will teach any of the instruments he has already mastered, including the melodica, a small air-powered instrument with a keyboard.

“It gives [kids] the idea of the piano, and it’s not as daunting,” said Bradley. Plus, parents can appreciate that it’s inexpensive, relatively quiet and easy to transport.

Bradley said his instruction style is customized to fit each student, be they child or adult.

“I will teach any style and I’ll teach any song,” he said. “As long as they’re into it, I’m into it.”

The three Ward kids, who live in Marion, are good examples.

Oliver, “almost 4,” Maggie, “almost 8,” and Grace, “almost 10” each have different interests, but have taken to their lessons with Bradley.

After seeing his sisters play for years, Oliver asked to take classes on the piano and organ a few months ago. On Thursday, he played the Star Wars theme for the first time by himself (wearing a Storm Trooper T-shirt, of course.)

Oliver said he wanted to play the piece “because it’s about Star Wars and I really like Star Wars. I watch Star Wars movies with my dad.”

Maggie played the piano for a while, but she transitioned to the ukulele a few weeks ago and is already mastering “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz.

Older sister Grace has stuck with the piano and said, “I’m a natural.”

She is learning Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and a song from Adele. When asked why she likes playing music, Grace had her answer ready.

“I’ve always dreamed of being a singer and an actress some day,” she said.

Bradley leaves the singing up to Maggie and Grace but has enjoyed guiding their musical development.

“Watching them excel and learn, it’s just a great experience,” he said.

With Sunroom Studio, Bradley is looking to keep the neighborhood buzzing, and in a year, he hopes to be established enough to open a larger studio closer to the town center where more music teachers can offer lessons. For now, the small space is perfect.

Future Adeles, Jason Mrazes and John Williamses welcome.
