about Jayden
Hello there! I am Jayden Masen, a mentor, musician, and audio engineer based in Franklin, TN. My love for music and teaching started early, as I began assistant teaching at the Sarah Kelly Music School when I was only 12 years of age. Ever since then, I’ve enjoyed helping musicians of all ages grow and develop their skills through custom-tailored music lessons in Houston, Nashville and now Franklin, connecting with students and their families, witnessing their musical dreams come to life firsthand!
Professionally, I’ve worked in various roles that involve managing live sound for concerts, editing and producing music in studios, and helping developing artists find their identities. I strive to create a positive and supportive environment in everything I do within the music universe, sharing all of my past experiences to benefit your musical journey!
