About Treyan Porter -live in SLC, UT & online -$60/hr
Hello! My name is Treyan. I offer a free introductory lesson in which I demonstrate the unique method that I teach, and how it is different from all other teaching styles. I teach piano, but with an emphasis on improvisation, arrangement, and songwriting, using theory as the foundation. This teaching method gives the student a thorough understanding of musical theory, while at the same time allowing them to learn in a very creative environment. Let me know if you have any questions or are interested in a free intro lesson. Cheers!

I am so happy to have found Treyan as a piano teacher! He is not only knowledgeable but also fun and inspiring. He’s helping me understand not just music theory, but how it’s actually applied in practice. As an adult with years of classical training who took a 20-year break from studying music, I now want to learn how to jam, play jazz and blues, and truly play from the heart. He has a very wide range of talent and spans across all genres. I highly recommend him if you are looking for some inspiration to improve your piano playing skills!!.
Treyan is a gem, couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Thank you!!
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 was excellent to work with. He tailored my lessons to exactly what I wanted to learn, challenged me creatively, and taught in such a way that was tailored to my learning style that made it fun and something I looked forward to every week. I feel like I was able to make large strides in improvement in a short time and the quality and dedication that Treyan put into teaching made it clear that he cared about my success. If you’re looking to take lessons at any level, I’d highly recommend taking lessons from Treyan!
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!
Treyan was such a pleasure meeting and having as a teacher. He’s sweet corky and so talented at teaching music in a way that you can truly understand it rather than classical methods of learning piano. I highly recommend him!
Had a great time working with Treyan. He helped me with a special project and it turned out great. Hope we can work together again in the future! Great guy!
I had a great experience with Treyan. I’ve played the piano for a long time, but I never learned much theory or improvisation. I explained what I was looking to learn, and Treyan immediately started coming up with plan that fit my experience and end goals. He really knows his stuff and is extremely student focused. Highly recommended!
