Piano
Bret Williamson is a composer, pianist, and teacher. His love for music started at an early age, and has persisted throughout his life. Beginning his classical studies on the piano at the age of 5, and composing his first piece of music at the age of 10, he has continued to study and develop his passion and love for music over the last 30 years.
Bret began working professionally, playing and teaching, while still in high school, developing his skills in improvisation and music directing along the way, before studying Music Composition and Piano at the University of Houston.
Bret has extensive experience playing, music directing, and working in churches, theaters, and recording studios. He has performed and composed music for all occasions and events, all the while teaching the piano and composition when the opportunity has presented itself.
As a producer and engineer, he has worked on hundreds of recording sessions in world class studios with some of the top musicians working today, and has released more than 50 albums of instrumental music on his own. In 15 years of teaching, he has worked with over 250 students of all ages in all styles and genres, from classical to pop and everything in-between.
Bret believes every student deserves the opportunity to pursue a life with music, and he enjoys working with students at any level, from beginner to advanced and in any style or genre of interest. Incorporating classical technique and music theory in a practical and useful way, he believes that a solid foundation allows each student to confidently walk their own path on their musical journey.
