Find Music Lessons

Travis' life in music started early on. He took piano lessons from kindergarten to fifth grade and started on trombone in third. All through junior high and high school he had the opportunity to play in youth and independent orchestras, concert, athletic and jazz bands. Travis went on to study music at the University of Colorado here in Colorado Springs where he studied under world-class musicians, traveled in a Gospel band, started a career in film composing and band directing. Outside of the music school he teaches junior high and high school band. 

After years of exploring, teaching and becoming competent on different instruments, Travis can safely say that learning music can be a pain...but it doesn’t have to be. His philosophy on learning any instrument or anything concerning music is that, “Learning naturally is learning efficiently”. Regardless of who you are or where you come from, our brains have common ways of retaining information. If learning is not, in some way, rewarding or seems out of reach, then the learning process slows down. What Travis tries to create with all his students is a fun, engaging and challenging environment where music can become simple and natural. 

Travis is glad you’ve considered The Colorado Springs Music School. He looks forward to working with you and helping you reach your goals!
