In The Studio

A casual log of what I’ve been working on lately — just small updates from the studio, shared for anyone curious enough to follow along.

Latest From The Studio

Latest From the Studio is where I share what I’ve been working on musically — a casual log of recording progress, experiments, and whatever else happens to be taking shape in the studio. Listening Edge Records is the label where I release my original recordings, often tied to the music I compose and publish through Trevor Baron Music and Up-Tempo Publishing. While I spend most of my days teaching piano and theory through my studio, Bach To Basics Music, this blog gives me a place to reflect on the creative side of what I do. It’s not a highlight reel — just honest updates from the other side of the desk.
