Piano Lessons in Wrightwood

Hello Music Scholars,

My name is Brytish Thomas, and music has been the pulse of my life for as long as I can remember. From my early days singing in the church choir stand and school choirs to formal piano training, my upbringing was defined by performance and education. My exposure to the soulful harmonies of the church and the discipline of private recitals taught me early on that music wasn't just a hobby—it was my foundation.

My teaching journey began in 1991 with my first two private piano students. Over the last three decades, that initial spark has evolved into a lifelong mission to cultivate musical excellence.

My performance career has taken me from local church services to touring with incredible bands and musicians. With a background in Jazz, Classical, and Gospel piano, I have had the privilege of translating my advanced degrees into a diverse career. I have served as a Music Director, Workshop Clinician, Minister of Music, and an educator across K-12 and collegiate levels—specializing in general/choral music, jazz band, humanities/fine arts, and gospel choir. My experience on the road has given me a "real-world" perspective that I bring directly into my pedagogy.

My teaching approach is deeply student-centered. Whether in a private studio or a collegiate classroom, I customize my curriculum to align with the unique goals and learning styles of those I serve. I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" education.

My mission is to give back the same mentorship I received from the masters I studied under. I want to help students develop the technique and confidence to become masterful musicians. My greatest joy is "pouring into" the next generation, helping them bridge the gap between student and professional.

I believe that while talent is a gift, progress is the result of focus-driven practice and consistency. My goal is to inspire students to soar as high as their ambition allows, provided they have the mind and the will to put in the work.

I am here to help you reach new heights—let's make some music!
