Instruments: Piano Trumpet
My name is Trent P. I am a jazz trumpet player in the Atlanta area, I currently play very frequently around the city with some of the best jazz musicians in the area. I have been playing music since 2015, and been studying it seriously for about 5 years now. I currently attend Georgia State University finishing up my final year there getting a Bachelor's Degree in Jazz Studies, studying under Dr. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
I like to start out with the Hannon Book. That has various excercises that helps with note recognition. Worksheets will be given out with those as well. Teaching students HOW to read notes, and HOW to recognize them takes a few weeks so that's normally what i like to start with. Once they grasp those fundimentals, then we move on to learning songs they are familiar with such as London Bridge, This Old Man, Mary Had A Little Lamb etc. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
There are so many methods to use. I started off in the church as a worship leader, piano player, and a drummer. I believe in learning to read music and playing by ear. It is a reason why I teach both. Ear training is good for a lot of churches if you decide to play or sing in one. Not all churches use hymn books but some do so that's why I teach site reading as well. Read More
Instruments: Drums Music
I have 5 years of teaching experience, which began in high school as I taught younger students joining the drum line. At the same time, I taught drum set at a music and event venue that held lessons during the day, as well as independently at my old home studio. I typically teach students from the ages of 6 through 12, however I have experience teaching teens and adults as well. It's never too late to start learning! Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I began teaching my first student when I was in high school. I enjoyed it so much that I decided then that I would incorporate teaching piano in my future. After I had my twins and became a stay at home mom, I began to teach students in my studio. I was instructed by two professors for almost 20 years in private lessons. I have played for more than 300 weddings, funerals, and receptions. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Clarinet Drums Tuba
Ever since high school, I have enjoyed teaching other students. In college, I would travel to nearby schools to tutor middle and high school instrumental students. My first job out of college was teaching at a charter school where I saw all the students in the school for 9 week periods. We established an after school band where private lessons were the main form of growth. In my next job, I taught students from beginning, in sixth grade, through their senior year of high school.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Ukulele Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I started teaching guitar in High School in 2009, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 8 years. I took private lessons for 7 years from four different guitar instructors, so I know what works and what doesn't. My number one focus as a teacher is keeping my students engaged, and doing my best to ignite their passion for the instrument of guitar. I start with teaching proper technique, form, and posture, as well as the basic chord shapes and strumming patterns, and from there I teach songs that both put these new techniques into practice and adhere to the student's musical interests.

Instruments: Bass Guitar
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
As a child, I was a big fan of Paul McCartney and how he used the bass as a songwriter. As I got older, I discovered Flea and became amazed by the possibilities of what could be played on the bass.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is the discipline to practice everyday. It is not easy to practice when you don't want to. In those moments, it is important to have an end goal in the big picture. That way you can remember why you need to practice.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I do have some family members who are into music. My cousin is a wonderful pianist who studied Jazz at Loyola University New Orleans, and my uncle is a Classical guitar enthusiast.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I remember wanting to become a musician the moment I saw Paul McCartney live. I was 8 years and I thought to myself "I want to do that".
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My second instrument was classical guitar. I had a student come to me and said they wanted to learn classical guitar. When I started playing, I quickly realized that my fingerstyle techniques from bass translated really well.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite genre to play is Jazz. I feel like it gives me freedom to express myself musically while challenging me to focus on not just what I am playing, but what the entire band is playing.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Skateboarding and baseball!
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Chromatic Fantasy by Bach on bass. Jaco Pastorius performed this piece on a fretless bass. To me, this song represents the ultimate ability of dexterity on the bass guitar.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have an Associate's Degree is Music & Technology with a focus in bass guitar. I chose this because I always loved to play bass and I wanted to learn every aspect of music theory around it.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Time management. I recommend writing out a practice schedule. This will help make sure the student hits everything evenly and helps prevent over-practicing.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They are ready when they express a strong interest in music. It is time when all the child wants to do is listen to and play music. It is not necessarily the age that determines if a child is ready, but it is their drive and focus.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I choose the Hal Leonard books. From my experience, it has some of the best reading exercises for kids. Overall, their books are accessible and easy for beginners to follow.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I spend 10 minutes warming up and stretching my hands. If I have something pressing (like a setlist for an upcoming show), I will spend 40 minutes learning the songs; followed by a 20 minute break. I will repeat this process until I'm day for the day.
If there is nothing pressing, I will do 20 minutes of timing, 20 minutes of scales, 20 minute break, 20 minutes of speed, and then repeat until I'm done for the day.
All in all: 40 minutes of practice, 20 minute break, and repeat!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
In elementary school, I had a music teacher named Ms. Snyder. She showcased a wide variety of instruments in her class and was able to incorporate music games around all of them.
When will I start to see results?
It all depends on how much time your are willing to put into practicing and what your end goal is. That being said, as long as you strongly commit to practicing, you can generally start to see in results in about a month.
