About
I get guitarists on the path they want by filling in the blanks or starting them from the beginning. Weekly routines that revolve as they achieve personal benchmarks. All lessons are done through Zoom so scheduling is easy and there's no commute!
I love guitar, improvising, unpacking theory, harmony, parts and forms of songs.

Tom is so great! He’s patient, and a great teacher. He’s adapted to my learning style and I am already learning songs!

What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We meet on Zoom. I will send you a personalized link. You will also receive a link to an exclusive google drive folder where I will upload videos from your lesson, pdfs to support what we are woking on and a practice log with an outline for the week.
I always evaluate their current skill level and goals. I look at the the time they have to put in and develop a routine to reach their goals.

I have a music degree focused primarily on the guitar with a background in Rock, Pop and Jazz. I have studied with great professors and players from Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory, amongst others.
