Meet J.T. Garred

My name is J.T. and I am a piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums & voice teacher here at Highland Music Studio. I am a worship pastor and a music teacher and have been teaching students and young adults for the past two years alongside working in the local church. I have a master’s degree in music from Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, TX. Growing up, I was always involved with piano lessons, church choirs, and worship teams and even started a punk rock band with my brother and some friends. I love all genres of music and have experience playing in everything from classical to jazz to 80’s hair metal to hip-hop. I released a solo EP in 2017 called “Unlimited.”  Outside of music, I love spending time with my wife, going to concerts, and anything involving sports! My main goal as a teacher is to help my students grow to be the best musicians possible so they can enjoy music for the rest of their lives.  I’m excited to help you on your musical journey.
