Meet Our Teachers
Clair Susong
Director/Piano
Hi! I am a 2015 graduate from Austin Peay State University. Music has always been a big part of my life. I began taking piano lessons when I was about six years old and took lessons up until I graduated from college. I started Exit 1 Piano Lessons in January of 2018 to bring music to my community. I love introducing my students to the world of music through piano lessons! My goal is to not only create excellent musicians, but to also foster a life-long love of music in my students.
Tori Wright
Piano/Bassoon
I am currently an undergraduate student at Austin Peay State University. I started my musical journey by taking piano lessons when I was 5-years-old and will continue to take lessons through my college career. In middle school, I started playing the bassoon and am currently majoring in music therapy (bassoon and piano being my focuses). I have gone to a few festivals such as TN All-State, TN Governor's School for the Arts, and most recently, the Brevard Orchestral Summer Program. I want to offer a space where students can feel comfortable and grow as musicians.
Bryant Mullins
Piano/Saxophone
I am a native of Clarksville, Tennessee. I graduated from Austin Peay State University with a B.S. in Liberal Studies with concentrations in Piano Pedagogy and Piano Performance. I have always had a passion for saxophone and continue to study. I began playing piano when I was 6 and took lessons throughout high-school and college. My experience includes accompanying solo performers, performing solo and in small chamber ensembles. I have been able to play for world renowned performers and professors such as Dr. Timothy McAllister and Dr. Christopher Lewis. My goal is to give students a great education in music while allowing them to express and enjoy themselves, no matter the skill or experience level.
