Awful place that does not respect it’s amazing teachers. Gave us zero warning before the place closed. Closed the location without telling it teachers. Treats its workers like crap. Avoid at all cost.

Our son has been taking drum lessons for almost 4 years now with Tim (who is UTTERLY AMAZING) and to see not only steady progression on the instrument but his confidence level grow is heartwarming. This past weekend was our son's last performance with Tim by his side as Tim is leaving Real Brave - along with what appears to be all of the other long time instructors who have been working with their students for years. To be honest hearing this is VERY unsettling and QUITE concerning for how we feel about continuing at Real Brave. We'll see how things go in terms of a new instructor, lessons, etc... and decide whether to continue on...

Josh had turned me into 77 year rocker. He's a fantastic teacher. He has me playing songs I thought I'd never play—Highway to Hell, Gimme Shelter, and What's Going On. The school is a caring community thanks to the efforts of Josh, Trevor, Tim, Eve, Sarah, and Jules. I'm now a member of a band that plays at the school's music recitals. It has added to the quality of my life as a senior adult. It is a great place. Richard Giaquinto

The entire staff at real brave is amazing. I have only been using them This year and I am sad my son did not take this musical Opportunity sooner. Josh is phenomenal. We need more concerts, and hopefully more after school days.

My son and I love this place. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Also good selection of instruments. My son Jean-Luc goes to Real brave for a “band” after school program. He has been coming here for a short bit and is already improving his skill set as well his confidence.
