Bravura House Music Academy

David McFadden is an excellent violinist and a brilliant teacher. David has helped my sister develop not only her technical capabilities, but also her passion for the instrument. He is kind, thoughtful, patient, and dedicated. Highly recommend!!

Bravura House should be everyone's first choice for string instrument rentals, purchases and repairs. The quality of instruments is outstanding and the price range allows each customer to select an instrument that suits his/her need and financial means. The owner is a string player and teacher, repairs and builds instruments himself and can answer any questions you might have. He takes pride in giving each customer the best product to speak their musical language.You will have a very friendly 5 star experience at Bravura House.Katja Mathys, Whispering River Orchestra, Parry Sound

Very highly recommended! As a music teacher in Collingwood, I have purchased instruments for myself and recommended David at Bravura House for my students’ instrumental needs. Whether they are renting or buying , beginning or looking for a new instrument that will be able to enjoy into adulthood, Mr. McFadden spends time with them, demonstrating and stepping back to allow them to try many instruments until they find the right one, and a bow that will bring out the best sound of their instrument. David is extremely knowledgeable and interested - and his love of music and the violin are contagious. Students and parents come away having had one of the most unique and best experiences of their lives, and along with that comes a new motivation and desire to play from the student. Thank you Bravura House!

We cannot ask for a better violin teacher than David McFadden. He is an amazing, experienced and encouraging teacher. He sets my daughter up with great foundations for playing the violin. She enjoys every lesson, which is filled with techniques, humour, and wisdom. More than learning the violin, she also learns to how to appreciate music, take care of and respect the instrument. Her love for the violin definitely grows with David McFadden. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mr. McFadden!

Love it here

I have been a customer of Bravura House for many years, and they are my first choice for fine string instruments for my students and myself. My contact person there is a string player and teacher, who knows about the products first hand. They offer a wide range of instruments from beginner to professional level, always at the best prices. The repairs to both instruments and bows have been very impressive. If you are trying to avoid the mass-produced, poor sounding instruments that are so common today, then Bravura House should be your first choice.- Christopher Coady,Bedford Park School and Executive Member: Ontario Strings Association

I have worked with Bravura House for many years. During that time I have had excellent and friendly service. All of the products are of the highest quality. Also, the highest level of technical information about products is offered and how they might affect the over all performance of the instrument or bow: important information. Top drawer at every level. Thanks Bravura House!!John Trembath, Principal Cello, Huronia Symphonyretired teacher, TDSB
