Piano, voice, clarinet & saxophone teacher.
Bruce Adams is a college music professor and Nationally Certified Teacher of Music. He teaches private lessons on piano, clarinet, saxophone and voice from his home in South Lakeland, and has over 30 years of teaching experience.
He grew up in North Georgia surrounded by excellent music teachers, including the award-winning band program at North Gwinnett High School — where he also sang in the choir and played “Curly” in Oklahoma! his senior year. He attended Columbus State University on a full music scholarship, double-majoring in clarinet and piano, and picked up saxophone when the jazz band needed one.
A clarinet scholarship took him to Indiana University, where he earned a B.S. in Music in 1993. Back in Georgia he built a full-time home studio, peaking at 47 students a week. In 1998 he began graduate study at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth — voice, piano, wind ensemble, jazz band and the Fort Worth Symphony Chorus — earning his Master of Music in 2001, followed by a graduate assistantship in conducting at Cincinnati Conservatory.
He then joined the music faculty at Southeastern University in Lakeland as Director of Music Education, clarinet professor and assistant band director, also teaching piano, saxophone and theory. In 2021 he rejoined SEU as an adjunct professor. He is active in the music ministry at Covenant Presbyterian Church, and has three wonderful, talented children.
