“Chad R. Bowles is an unassuming young man, who took the stage with such poise and command. As he presented his session, “Nurturing a Competitor”, the audience was immediately taken with the knowledge he imparted. His interaction with the students and teachers was as much fun as informative. Mr. Bowles has a bright future ahead of him, not only as a speaker but a performer.”
In addition to Chad’s performing activities, he often is asked to give masterclasses or workshops to piano students and teachers.
He is also keen to incorporate outreach and masterclasses when he travels for a recital.
Below is a list of recent workshops Chad has presented in music schools across the country.
