Bold Music Co-Founders George Ramsay and Dean Williams began Bold with a simple vision: to reinvent music education in the Charlotte area. Both lifelong musicians, the duo first crossed paths at Davidson College, quickly becoming friends through their shared passion for creating and performing music. They recognized that the Charlotte area has tremendous potential to grow as an artistically relevant region, and envisioned creating a community of musicians, connected to one another through a common thread: Bold Music.

We come to your home. In a fast paced society that only seems to be speeding up, this helps minimize stress while maximizing comfort and productivity. Our in-home lesson program is carefully tailored for each individual based on skill level, inspiration, and eventual goals. Whether you want to strum quietly behind closed doors or you envision a future in the Philharmonic, we put your needs first, using a mixture of the most innovative instructional techniques and those that have stood the test of time.

Of course, learning music is about more than simply practicing scales, and Bold instructors are much more than musical coaches. After all, music is as much a way of life as it is an art form. A competent musician knows discipline, patience, determination, passion and joy-virtues that resonate in all walks of life, not just on a keyboard or guitar. A Bold musician is a well-rounded person, eager to and capable of dealing with challenges on their instrument and beyond. Bold Music strives to promote the power of music, provide role models for our students, and nurture skilled, confident musicians - all the while having fun!

My son has been taking lessons from Bold for over a year. He really enjoys the lessons. Not only does George teach how to play music he also explains the theory. George's flexibility in scheduling the lessons has made it easy for my son to continue with his extracurricular activities.

I took guitar lessons from Dean Williams for a little over a year and really loved the experience. Dean is a great guitar player and teacher. He knows music theory inside and out, and on top of everything else, he is just a down to earth cool dude. I met George Ramsey (another instructor for Bold Music) multiple times and would give him the same compliments as Dean. Great guy, great guitar player, and a great instructor. Bold music is a great value and I loved my experience with them!

I've taken electric guitar lessons for a year from Bold Music and I love it. All the instructors are extremely knowledgeable, and I've never had more fun learning an instrument. I'd highly recommend that anyone who wants to learn a new instrument or further develop their skills take lessons from Bold!

I'm continually impressed by the personal / customized service they provide. The instructors are well qualified and carry a consistent level of professionalism across all musical platforms. I'd highly recommend Bold Music to anyone interested in taking their music to the next level.

Bold music is seriously a dream come true. George and Dean are highly educated, creative, nice guys who motivate anyone who has a passion for music. Not only are lessons interesting for students, but it's a treat to hear them during their jam sessions. We are grateful to know these talented and trustworthy guys. Thanks Bold Music!

I've been working with Bold for just over a year now and I have been amazed by the convenience of in-home guitar lessons. With George working around my schedule, I find that I get more lesson time in. If I'm busy, I can just call and reschedule... it's never a problem. Overall, it has been very enjoyable and I am learning much faster this way.

I started piano lessons a few months ago and I'm hooked! I was a bit trepidatious being in the "over 50 club" learning to play and read music for the first time but my teacher, Payton, has been wonderful. Thank you Bold Music!

Our daughter has been with Bold Music for a few years now and we could not be happier. Great experience all around with George at the helm, Ethan as her instructor and Emily running the summer camp. Our daughter loves them all.

Both of my kids take lessons with Bold and we have had the best experience! Both of our instructors are amazing musicians, and my kids really enjoy how they teach. They have been patient, knowledgeable, and my kids really related to them. My kids have each gotten to select the type of music they want to learn to play so they really are motivated to learn. The gig nights are way cooler than any recital. This is a modern take on music lessons and we are so thankful for Bold!

Bold Music lessons have been an amazing experience for both of our sons (guitar and drums). We can't say enough about the professionalism and enthusiasm of the owners and teachers, the convenience of having lessons at home, and the unique opportunity for the boys to perform at gig nights. We continue to recommend Bold Music highly to family and friends!

Bold Music has provided my son with the skillset and confidence to pursue his passion in playing guitar. I cannot recommend them enough! George genuinely cares for his students and has of way of getting them to reach their greatest potential! My son's skills and interest have never been greater!

I've always been interested in music, and often dreamed of playing guitar but was afraid it would take too long and too much time. How wrong I was. My Bold Music instructor George was patient, polite and never condescending. He obviously enjoys what he does. Within a couple of lessons I was able to play several chords and a handful of simple songs. George also gave me an appreciation for music structure and some other fundamentals that I had always appreciated subconsciously but never understood. I'm very happy to recommend Bold Music for their convenient, user-friendly and patient instruction. Thank you Bold and thank you George!

After a year of trying to teach my younger cousin, Billy, how to play guitar, I decided to go find for professional lessons for him. After a couple months of lessons with Bold Music, I can say that Billy has really improved. His instructor, George, has a comprehensive understanding of music and guitar, and he has proven to be a wonderful role model for Billy. George is dependable, trustworthy, works around my schedule (very convenient!), and is an astounding teacher.

After several lessons with George, Billy told me that after learning how to play guitar, he wants to learn how to play bass and the drums. He only had one catch; George had to be his teacher! With Bold Music's top-notch quality and convenience, I couldn't argue with that! Bold Music is unsurpassed in their high quality, affordable, fun-loving, in-home music lessons and I won't trust anyone else to teach Billy guitar or any other musical instrument.

I usually don't like to write reviews, but for Bold Music I can easily make an exception. Bold Music is my #1 pick for anyone wanting to learn to play guitar, hands down. They offer high-quality lessons for every level. George worked around my busy work schedule to make our class times as convenient as possible. After a few wonderful months of learning the art of guitar, I am off here in NYC living my dream of playing for an Avril Lavigne cover band.

Although just a start, I know that my musical possibilities are endless! To say that my lessons with George Ramsay changed my life would be selling this incredible teacher and role-model short. Thank you George and Bold Music!

I can't say I've been a client of Bold Music, but I've certainly been a student of George's. Growing up with George, he was the one who taught me guitar years ago, and taught me almost everything I still play today. Bold Music is comprised of eager, knowledgeable instructors prepared to offer a top-notch service, and the Charlotte area should be lucky to have these guys at their doorstep.
