Bruce Treidel:  Owner, Managing Director, & Head Technician
Btreidel@bmcmusicsource.com

Bruce founded BMC in 1984. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Education. He has been actively participating in music education, both public and private since 1972.  Through his unique perspective he has been able to create an organization that places a strong emphasis on the needs of the student musician.   Bruce’s background includes more than 30 years of musical instrument repair and rebuilding.  He is a strong advocate for the benefits of music in education.  Bruce’s main instrument is trumpet and he is proficient in nearly all the instruments offered in the store.  His experience as a public school teacher has been invaluable in the development and direction of BMC.

“Music is such an important part of our lives.  We are exposed to it from the moment we are born until the moment we pass away.  We use it while we get ready in the morning, to change our mood, to get ready for sports, to help us to relax and much more.  A stronger appreciation of music enhances our lives each and every day.”

 

Dana Treidel:  Customer Service Director, Print Music Specialist
Dtreidel@bmcmusicsource.com

Dana is in charge of the sheet music and gift inventory at BMC, as well as maintaining the level of professional, friendly customer service you have come to expect from BMC.  Over the last 30 years, she has been involved in customer service and has developed a strong background in both corporate and small business environments. Through her expertise in printed music and product knowledge she adds a valuable dimension to BMC.  Dana maintains close relationships with all the major music publishers.  She is the person to call on if you are looking for print music assistance, and if she doesn’t know the answer she knows who to ask.  Dana also coordinates special projects for BMC.  She is the one to speak to if you want a special musically themed party for your child or are looking for that musically themed gift.  Many of the local public and private music educators find her an invaluable resource.

“I love seeing how far our former students have gone in their lives.  We have students that have become research scientists helping to cure diseases and others who are professional musicians and everything in between.”
