Book a Lesson

Lessons

Learning an instrument is one of the best things you can do for your brain. Research shows that learning an instrument improves memory, focus, and cognitive function at any age. But beyond the science, there's something deeply human about learning to make music and the way it stays with you for life.

Austin has been playing piano for over 25 years and has authored three instructional books that have helped thousands of people learn to play. He offers private lessons in piano at all skill levels, as well as beginner lessons in guitar and drums. Whether you're sitting down at the keys for the first time or looking to grow as a player, he'd love to help.

Ministry

Austin loves serving the broader body of Christ. Whether leading congregational worship, teaching a breakout session, speaking at a camp, or preaching at a special service, he counts it a joy to partner with churches and ministries in helping people know and worship Jesus.

Creative Work

Austin's creative work starts with a simple question: what's the story? Whether he's behind a camera, editing a timeline, or building a website, the goal is always the same — to help people communicate something true in a way that actually lands.

Video

This is where Austin is most at home creatively. He specializes in documentary and testimony style video work, the kind that puts a real person in front of a camera and lets their story do the heavy lifting. If you have a story worth telling, he'd love to help you tell it well.

Photo

Austin approaches photography the same way he approaches everything else — with an eye toward the person in front of the lens. He's shot in a range of contexts including church environments, corporate settings, and individual headshots.

Web

A website is often the first place someone goes to understand who you are and what you do. Austin builds clean, functional sites focused on clear communication. If your current site isn't telling your story well, he can help with that.

Books

Learn Piano on Your Own Terms

Private lessons aren't for everyone. Austin has written three piano instruction books designed to help beginners learn at their own pace, wherever they are. With over 20,000 copies sold, they've become a go-to resource for anyone who wants to actually sit down and play.

About

Austin Crosby with his family

Austin Crosby is a musician, minister, and creative based in Central Texas. He serves as Worship Minister at Wellspring Church, where he loves seeing the word of Christ dwell richly among God's people through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (Colossians 3:16). Outside of Wellspring, he trains and teaches musicians, partners with churches and organizations to lead worship and speak, and helps individuals and businesses tell meaningful stories through creative media.

Discipleship and story are the thread running through all of it. Whether leading a congregation, helping a student grow on an instrument, or working on a creative project, the goal is always the same: helping people grow and telling stories that matter.

Austin lives in China Spring with his wife and two daughters. When he's not leading, creating, or teaching, he's probably spending time with family, watching the Longhorns, or bowhunting.
