Perry Thoorsell Music
About
I am passionate about music, about how it can improve your life, and how you can grow and improve your musical skills.
I've been an active performer and teacher for over forty years. I have performed nationally and internationally with leading names in the music business. I have many recording credits. I have a master's degree in music.
Music is a service to people. I like making people happy, making them smile and feel better. I like helping students break through their obstacles and reaching the next plateau.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I'm even more passionate about performing than ever - every show I do has something special about it.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
A really effective teacher gives direction. The student must do work but the teacher can suggest where that work can be done to yeild the best results with maximum efficiency.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
The student will get the most out of lessons if they bring specific questions to the lessons. The student who merely says "Alright, teach me something" has not given the process enough thought to acheive the most optimal results.
