Kyle Davies

Entrepreneur, Musician and Top Rated Instructor
Background as an Entrepreneur:
I have had an entrepreneurial spirit since I was young.  Having grown up on a farm, I would raise animals to resell at local auctions.  I then began going to flea markets and auctions in 2001 and began an eBay account to resell what I would find. 

I now have over 20 years of online reselling experience.  Much of this was part time (as my studies are in music performance), but there were 3 years where I worked full time as an online reseller (eBay, Amazon, eCommerce, etc.).  I enjoy inspiring others to find their entrepreneurial spirit as well.

Background as a Musician:
My piano studies began when I was very young.  I took this passion with me to college and received a Master’s degree in Music Performance (Piano) from Syracuse University.  I have had a varied musical career, having performed in bands, cocktail hours, weddings, church services, funerals and recitals.

I have served as a Music Director at various churches for over 10 years.  In addition to music directing, I enjoy composing sacred works.  My favorite ensemble to compose for is choir, but I also enjoy writing for solo piano.

Background as a Teacher:
I have taught piano lessons for the past twenty years and am now bringing my passion for teaching to Udemy.  The areas that I teach are ones that I am passionate about (entrepreneurship, selling online, real estate, music composition, piano playing, etc.).  I love sharing what I have learned in these varying disciplines and look forward to seeing you in one of my courses.
