Introduction: I teach piano, but with an emphasis on improvisation, arrangement, and songwriting, using theory as the foundation. This teaching method gives the student a solid understanding of musical theory, while at the same time allowing them to learn in a very creative environment. I offer a free introductory lesson where I will explain and demonstrate the method that I teach. I enjoy helping my students obtain an understanding of how songs are arranged and composed, and then see them start to create songs of their own. When a student gets excited about an original composition or an original arrangement they have created, and then realizes that they can replicate those results with an infinite number of creative possibilities (different musical genres and different subject matter), I can't help but get excited also.

I took lessons from my grandma as a young kid, and hadn't had a lesson in over 20 years when I started to look for a teacher. I was a little a anxious about being able to find a teacher I liked that would also be able to teach me the things I wanted to learn, but it became clear from the very first lesson that Treyan easily had all of the bases covered and more. I haven't asked a question yet that he didn't immediately have answers for. Not only does he have tons of knowledge, but he also has the skill to demonstrate everything I asked about with a high degree of proficiency. From beginner concepts to advanced theory and songwriting, Treyan has it all. You will absolutely not be disappointed if you choose to pick up Treyan as your piano teacher.

Trey is very personable, conversational, and friendly! He takes the time to get to know his students and what their goals are in taking piano lessons with him. He is very passionate about playing the piano and is very skilled at it as well. Highly recommend to anyone looking to fine tune their existing piano skills!

I was raised taking very traditional piano lessons which gave me a lot of fundamentals but I never learned the freedom of just playing the piano without sheet music in front of me. Treyan is great at marrying those two skills together. You need fundamentals..scales, chords, arpeggios and you learn those from him but then you learn how to make those skills practical and play whatever genre you’re interested in. It opened my eyes to a whole new way to play the piano.

Treyan is a fantastic teacher. He goes above and beyond for his students. I started taking lessons again after a many years long hiatus. I came in as an intermediate-level piano player. and Treyan has helped me step up my game with theory, improvisation and composing. Treyan has a unique approach that was exactly what I was looking for. I had had enough of classical training and wanted to understand more about putting theory into practice. And that is Treyan’s speciality. Anyone around me has noticed the improvement as a result of Treyan’s teaching. He has helped piano playing become fun again!

Taking lessons under Treyan, I have seen my piano skills and theoretical understanding improve already more from being with him for now 4 months versus my years and years of piano lessons growing up. He is knowledgable in all genres, and does a really good job of helping me understand not only the how, but the why behind chords resolve, are altered, or chord progressions follow a specific pattern. Worth every penny without a doubt.
