Jason W. TakeLessons Instructor Music, piano, guitar, bass Morningview Dr, Gallatin, TN

I have been a professional touring musician.  I am also a studio musician. I am off the road now teaching more.  I teach piano, keyboards, acoustic & electric guitar and also bass guitar.  I also have a recording studio in my house that i teach out of so the students will have access to top notch equipment.

I have a really fun and exciting way of teaching my students from beginners to advanced students. 

 I am also a very easy going and try to teach in a fun, easy to understand manner.  I also try to cater to the students wants and needs.  I like to teach the students songs, music and styles they are interested in.  After 3 or 6 months most of my students are playing melodies and songs that are popular on radio.

country, rock, blues, r&b, rap, contemporary christian, bluegrass

Music, piano, guitar, bass

I have toured on the road as a keyboard player for the band Exile. I played with them for 13 years.  I also have a twin brother who has played for multiple country artist including the Dixie Chicks.  Our studio enviroment is very professional and fun to work in. 

I got my start playing professionally in Lexington, Ky 15 years ago.  I was 17 years old playing 5 nights a week in a bar called Austin City Saloon.  Its the same bar where John Michael Montgomery played at for 11 years before signing his record deal.  He would come in weekly and sit in with the band.  

Also his brother Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry would sit in with the band. They played there as well before they signed there record deal.

Then i moved to Nashville Tn in 1997 and continue to tour with Exile.  When i first built the studio in the house, Billy Currington lived with me and my brother for awhile before he signed his record deal.  We did alot of acoustic jam sessions here at the house and in the studio.  

Also my brother played keyboards with Jason Aldean when he was first starting out.  They rehearsed the single "hicktown" right here in the studio many nights plus alot of other greats songs.
