Brad Murphey is an officially sponsored artist for ELIXIR Guitar Strings and award winning music teacher at Harmony House in Boulder and previously a faculty member of the Boulder Arts Academy, at the Dairy Center for the Arts. Teaching students ranging from 6 to 86 years old and has performed nationally (and locally... Boulder Theater, Fox Theater, Grey Fox, Rockygrass, Mabon...) as well as performing and/or recording with members of Leftover Salmon, Punch Brothers, the Stringdusters and Yonder Mountain, Crooked Still, as well as many others.
Students of all levels of expertise and beginners are strongly encouraged. If you are starting out I'll provide a solid foundation and if you're already playing I can help you move to a higher level of musicianship. The guitar lessons are informal, enjoyable and designed to help you make rapid progress on the guitar. I take a practical approach that is designed to get you ready to play guitar with other musicians. I encourage all my students to find enjoyable playing situations as soon as possible.
Chris Thile of Nickel Creek & Punch Brothers and MacArthur Genius Grant winner calls Murph "a great lead guitarist..... and awesome rhythm too!"

Brad is an incredible guitar teacher. His lessons are perfectly matched with my ability. Brad is very accomodating with my busy schedule. He is always very enthusiastic and takes the time to make sure i understand all aspects of each lesson.

Brad is a fantastic teacher and sincere person. He was always prompt and great at listening, observing and communicating during lessons. He makes learning fun. I was looking for a teacher who could provide encouragement and also work with a novice adult learner. I met Brad through Harmony House. We had several lessons but I had to stop due to an injury. I will definitely take more lessons from Brad in the future. I highly recommend Brad as a guitar teacher!

Murph is a fantastic teacher. I started taking bluegrass guitar lessons with him a year ago, after years of playing guitar very badly (only basic chords, strumming patterns, and Travis picking - all without a pick). In just a year, Murph has transformed me into a flatpicker. Under his direction, I've learned to crosspick, play scales and licks, learn solos by ear, and create interesting rhythm patterns both for traditional fiddle and newgrass tunes - all with a pick! Amazing. Plus, he's easy-going and very, very patient. I highly, highly recommend Murph as a guitar teacher!
