ABOUT MUSIC POCKET COACH

Hi, I’m Brittany Trinh! I founded Music Pocket Coach to help musicians rediscover their joy for music and lead a rich musical life. My music practice journal helps people find time to play, and explore all over again why they love music. 

I’ve been a musician all my life. I started playing piano when I was 5 and violin since I was 10. I’ve played in an orchestra for over 15 years. When I was younger, I had teachers to support me and create structure for practicing music.

As I got older, I gravitated towards interests in chemistry and website design. I had less opportunity to play. During college, I missed playing and started a non-music major orchestra that grew to over 300 people. At the end of my time there, I remember people thanking me and being so grateful we had created this community. They had a passion for playing classical music with others, just like me.

For most of us as adults, music becomes a hobby. We don’t establish a framework provided by a teacher to practice with consistency. For me, I would forget what I played, how much I played and how much progress I made on a piece. 

I had the idea to create a music practice journal. Here, I create a record of my musical experiences. I can develop a structure for practicing music without a teacher and remind myself why and what I want to play. With it, I can build towards a richer musical life. 

I hope that this journal will help people all over the world rekindle their passion for playing. Let’s build a community rediscovering their joy for music.
