Hayden F.

Hayden’s musical journey began with piano lessons at a young age, and continued later with the clarinet in 6th grade for beginning band. After many piano and clarinet lessons (with some odd stops along the way for a bassoon or violin lesson), he went to school for clarinet performance and received a Bachelors of Music from Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, OH and later a Masters of Music at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music. In addition to the required coursework in music history and theory, he continued taking piano lessons throughout his time in college. Upon graduation in 2017, Hayden moved to Corpus Christi to be closer to family and began teaching private lessons in the area. Additionally, shortly after moving, he joined the substitute list for both the Corpus Christi Symphony and Victoria Symphony and has performed in both on a number of occasions. Hayden moved to Houston in 2022 and is excited to continue teaching and making more music in the greater Houston area. Currently, he spends most of his time teaching a wide range of students as well as working as a piano technician, tuning pianos in the greater Houston area. 
As an instructor, Hayden believes that everyone can play music. Music is an art that’s uniquely ingrained into everyday life, which means that learning to make and appreciate music is a skill that will remain valuable for the rest of our lives.
