    Music is truly one of my 12-year old sons greatest places where he has a strong sense of self so we are so grateful for how well Tom works with him. Tom is patient and kind while also holding him accountable and challenging him.

    Parents supported my love of music with quality lessons; I used to play music in the street as a kid, so at 10yrs old my neighbor invited me over to teach her son the trumpet. Then, in my early 20s I taught saxophone to the 4th grader I was babysitting at the time; he became my first regular student. A friend of mine was teaching at a local music school so I taught there for a few years before going out on my own entirely. Been an independent teaching-artist ever since. Love it!
    Children & Adults of all skill levels & abilities. I've taught Ages 2+, but only teach 7+ these days. I've taught veterans, home school groups, worship leaders, students on the Autism/Aspergers spectrum, students with ADHD, students with repetitive stress injuries, Glaucoma, Dyslexia and other learning disabilities. I've overcome at least two of these challenges, but won't say which ones. Lmao! There are many doors into the same room, so when one approach doesn't work, we try a different door until it clicks, then we reenforce the good vibes.
    John Mayer concert at MSG was incredible & electrifying, but my wife and I generally prefer the down to earth folksy vibe (& sustainability mission) of the Clear Water Folk Festival in Croton-on-Hudson, NY.
    Before you choose a music mentor, try a lesson with at least 2-3 different providers (incl. me, of course! ) because (a) you should really feel heard & seen by the provider ...both as a human being & as a musician, and (b) to set you up for LASTING success, the provider should support your ability to have fun independently AND the ability to speak the musical language within a group setting so you can rock any stage!
    don't overthink it, just be yourself, be open to the process, because process is everything.
