Piano Performance
Whether you’re a beginner or professional piano player, you can reach the next level with an experienced pro.
My goal is to teach students how to actually understand Music, not just play notes. There is something extremely liberating about being able to instantly arrange any song based on an internalized knowledge of the structure of Music (harmony, rhythm, melody, and texture). Whether you want to learn how to play popular tunes by ear, play chords from a lead sheet, or get into advanced jazz harmony and improvisation, my core teaching principles will remain the same. The goal is to learn deeply and internalize, not just memorize notes. My specialty is in jazz, arranging, and composing. I have released 4 albums and had over 125k streams on Spotify. There is nothing I would love more than to help you along your journey with Music and equip you with tools that will last a lifetime!

About Trent B.

I can't get enough of Music. Whether it be playing Stevie Wonder covers with a funk bank in a college bar, performing solo jazz piano for private events, or staying up till 3 in the morning on a Tuesday trying to figure out a bassline to my newest composition, there is something about Music that gets me fired up every single day.
From personal experience, I know that there are many people who have that same passion but lack the practical tools they need. It is my goal to provide students with concepts, frameworks, and practical exercises that will set you on a path headed towards limitless musical exploration.
Regardless of the style you are trying to learn, we will focus on core areas of musical development such as:
Melodies
Bass Lines/Root Movements
Chord Movements
Scale Patterns/Phrases
Putting it all together (Arranging + Improvising)
Every day I practice using this framework, even after playing for my whole life. There is always something new to work on, yet it always ties back to these core categories. I will be essentially teaching you how to learn for the rest of your life rather than just teaching you a few tips and tricks.
I have a degree in Piano Performance from Auburn University and am currently on staff as an educator. I have released 4 albums and had over 120k streams on Spotify. Please go check out my music to get a sense of my style.
I look forward to making your musical goals and dreams become a reality!
