Jesse Fry

Carrollton, TX
Owner, Pianist

Jesse Fry is a highly qualified piano instructor and accompanist. He has a Bachelors degree in Instrumental Music Education from Asbury College (2003) and a Masters degree in Piano Pedagogy and Music Education from Southern Methodist University (2009).

After graduating from Asbury College Jesse began work for the Salvation Army of Texas as an Assistant to the Divisional Music Director. In that position he traveled around the state to various Salvation Army centers giving private lessons for all of the brass instruments, percussion and piano. In addition to private lessons he would also direct bands or choirs and assist local music leaders.

Following his Masters degree in 2009, Jesse started Collaborative Pianists of DFW, an agency that provides professional accompaniment services for a variety of Dallas-Fort Worth vocal and instrumental soloists and ensembles.

In 2017 Jesse founded Trekorda as an expansion of Collaborative Pianists of DFW, whose services, musicians, and territory now reached beyond the local community.
