Rich Lane retired after 50+ years in Manufacturing & Marketing to open Lakeland Piano, now known as Piano Alley.  A stroke 10 years ago halted his ability to play but not his passion and determination to put the love of music in our children’s lives.  He saw a need for placing this showroom in Central Florida.  He felt that if he didn’t go forward with the dream, someone else would.  He feels very fortunate to have this opportunity.  Rich has always enjoyed being around music and has a reputation of being a people person.

As no man is an island, Lakeland Piano is fully staffed with very talented personnel from administration to sales to teaching to service.  Get to know our “Team” by visiting our showroom.

Trent Brooks is a versatile pianist.  Trent has always had a love for the creative arts as a whole however music is what lives in his heart.  Some of his many musical influences are Cory Henry, Hans Zimmer, and Bach.  He believes strongly in the idea that musical creativity should not be limited to the “rules” of which many formally trained musicians hold themselves to.  In fact, he believes that each individual should be innovative in anything they do; especially when it comes to music.  While Trent still teaches fundamental principles of piano, he also teaches them the art of improvisation.  His goal is to help his students reach their full potential; this includes developing an excellent work ethic, diligence and eagerness to learn.
