I hold an AAS in Guitar Performance and am a few credits shy of a BA in Music from UTA. With over 19 years of teaching experience, I've shared my passion with students of all ages and styles. Currently, I weave melodic tales as the guitarist for La Pompe Dallas (Gypsy Jazz), the upright bassist for Justin Pickard and the Thunderbird Winos (Best Americana Dallas 2023) and The Vinyl Stripes (Rockabilly & Surf). My musical journey spans classic rock, blues, bluegrass, country, swing, gypsy jazz, rockabilly, and more. Jazz Pianist Bernard Wright mentored me as a bassist in his Jazz trio for several years. I explored diverse instruments like piano, clarinet, mandolin, dobro, oud, and African percussion. Songwriting is a forte, having been a finalist in Dallas contests. In addition to music, I once designed Media Matrix audio gear for Peavey Electronics but chose the path of playing and teaching music over-engineering. Join me for an enriching musical experience – let's dive into the world of melodies and harmonies together!

"Today I am writing you about a fellow musician I’ve had the pleasure to listen to, perform with and learn from over many years. His name is Jay Wilson. When I first heard him, he was playing with legendary Dallas band Hung Jury. His guitar playing and vocals were pro and his saxophone solos blew the room away. We became friends and sometimes I'd get a chance to get up and sing one with his band. He has always been inclusive and shared his talent and insights with other musicians. We considered him a Jedi musical master. Jay went on to play with many well known and respected bands. I remember going to see him once while he was playing with 60’s icon Donovan Leitch. It was magical evening. They played Sunshine Superman, Mellow Yellow and the evening culminated with an extended jam of Season of the Witch. I’m sure it’s still playing somewhere in the universe. From traditional Robert Johnson Style Blues to Stan Getz on the Saxophone to the Talking Heads, Jay traverses any genre with tasteful appreciation. Over the years I’ve never hesitated to call Jay for musical advice, emergency musical first aid or continuing education; and he has never hesitated to help. If you get a chance to sit down with Jay and listen to your favorite album, you should do it. If you or anyone you know has an opportunity to study music of any kind with Jay …. DO IT!

Unveil the chapters of my musical journey, commencing with piano melodies at age 5, progressing to the strings of a guitar at 7, and echoing through the brass tones of baritone, tenor, and alto sax in school bands. I've harmonized with diverse bands, from folk to blues, and etched my voice as a singer-songwriter. My musical tapestry extends to healing realms, holding a Music Practitioner Certification for uplifting souls in hospitals and nursing homes. Sharing my passion, I've taught music for years, working alongside my wife, a dedicated piano maestro of two decades. Let's explore the world of music together!

"Jay Wilson is one of the most musically-minded people I know. He is patient, yet challenging, and always brings an enthusiasm for what is possible with music. He goes beyond fundamentals to helping you truly communicate through the instrument. Technical fluency, kindness and a joyful soul: the combination you are looking for in a teacher. Highly recommended!
