About Parker
A native of Music City, Nashville, I’ve been immersed in a world of sound from the start. Some of my favorite musical artists are Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Miles Davis, Aretha Franklin, Tame Impala, Pink Floyd, Herbie Hancock, Sting, Steely Dan, Erykah Badu and Kanye West, to name a few.
I have played countless gigs - rock concerts, jazz dinners, cocktail parties, country dance parties, weddings, corporate parties, and the list goes on. At this point in my career, I am versed in playing rock, jazz, blues, country, R&B, and classical music.
My performance journey began in junior high, and I was playing professionally by the time I started my undergraduate degree in Jazz Performance at the University of Tennessee. To further expand my artistry and network, I recently relocated to Montreal, where I am now pursuing a Master's in Music at McGill University.
My teaching, honed through years of working with musicians of all levels, is fueled by a simple goal: to end each lesson with both of us feeling inspired. I also bring practical studio expertise from my three-year role as a recording engineer and composer. Let's work together to perfect your art!

I can help you improve your technique, learn songs, learn music theory, learn to improvise, and most importantly, to have fun!
As an instructor, I will aim to custom fit our lessons to your musical goals! I love it when a student comes to me with questions about a song or musical idea. I am also experienced in writing and composing, and I love to help students flesh out ideas they are working on.
One of the most important things to me about music is being able to connect to it and express yourself through it. I am happy to explore as deep as you want within a song or musical concept.
I grew up learning to play by ear as well as through written music, so I am comfortable teaching both styles.
In my professional career, I have the most experience playing the bass, but I also grew up playing guitar and piano.

Parker is wonderful. I’ve gotten to work with him as a gigging musician live and in the studio. He carries an ability to hang with pretty much anyone. I’d feel comfortable calling him for any musical situation. Well rounded and a passion for what he does!
Parker is an amazing bass teacher, especially for beginners. He explains things clearly and makes learning feel easy and fun. After just 3 lessons, I can already play two of my favorite songs on the bass. Highly recommend him to anyone starting out or looking to build confidence quickly.My name is Andy Sigler and I'm an associate professor of music composition at the University of Tennessee. I had the pleasure of working with Parker when he was a student here, and I'm happy to share my endorsement of him as both a musician and as an educator.
His performances and recordings for my course were very well executed, and his ability to articulate his processes and concepts was of the highest level. He was quite thoughtful, well-spoken, extremely versant in all things music, and added a great deal to the overall tenor of the class. Great player, great teacher, great musician. Highest recommendation!Parker is an awesome bass player and one of the coolest guys I know.. he is destined for greatness and any association with him would benefit any potential musician in a myriad of ways.
