Lesson Details

A Note From Trent: I am a full time teacher, not someone that does this on the side or when they have time. I LOVE to teach! I carry a minimum of 25 students and as many as 35. I really enjoy my students, I get to do what I love all day and I am sure it shows.

I've seen a lot in the past three years: kids, adults, beginners and advanced students. I love being able to share my knowledge with my students. We can study anything from Johnny Cash to Kelly Clarkson. I love getting ... students to dabble in little bits of all genres, often getting the most skeptical student singing and playing in just a few weeks. My students WILL be able to read music for their favorite songs and understand how to improvise from the start.

I encourage all of my students to bring in a CD of their favorite music to their first lesson. It gives me the opportunity to learn more about what they desire to learn and what types of music they enjoy. We will often learn with YOUR music. After all, isn't that why you are coming to see me? I will introduce you to new sounds and styles, but will foster your love for music, and do my best to never force MY music on students. I feel I learn as much from my students when I truly listen to them and their music as they do from me.
