    My lessons with Thomas have been great. Since I started I have noticed that my rate of improvement has gone up significantly. Thomas does a great job breaking down pieces that make it easy for me to manage and always has good insight on things I can do to help and improve my playing.

    In the past few months under Mr.Coffey, my understanding of how to build a piece of music has changed drastically. Mr.Coffey is the only teacher I have ever had who teaches me to play at the highest level I can rather than whatever level I am supposed to be at. I have noticed that when I learn a piece of music, all the tools he has taught me fall naturally into place and build much more exciting and interesting musicality. I am so lucky to have found him as a teacher!
