About
Hello,
My name is Tommy, and I'd love to help you on your musical journey.
I've played guitar and piano for nearly 20 years across all imaginable genres. I've Studied both composition and production extensively, worked as an audio professional for 10 years and taught music for the last 2 years.
Through it all i've learned that there is no one single path in music, each person and each student is a unique individual on a unique path. I strive to understand my students interests and personality then tailor each class to both support and challenge them. I won't make it easy for you, but i'll always be your biggest fan. Lets find out where your path leads together!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When getting introduced I like to get to know the student, figure out his/her goals and aspirations. Talk through how we're going to get them from here to there. We keep it light and fun at first then jump right into the basics and I'll send you home with something to work on for next time. Lesson one is always super casual with me. But I'm not here to waste time. We'll ramp up the challenges quickly.
