Tom is the best!! He is extremely knowledgeable and has a great way of meeting you where you’re at in your musical journey to help you level up. I’m new to working with him but have been really impressed with how he balances technique, music theory, and nurtures one’s personal musical style. He gives clear, practical practice tips for the week with an encouraging vibe that is really enjoyable and motivating. I look forward to lessons and would highly recommend!! 💯

Tom is a very talented musician and performer. Our son has improved immeasurably since he started taking lessons, especially learning improvisation and intermediate jazz concepts. Best of all, he likes lessons and looks forward to them and also practicing. Tom is easy to communicate with, super important! He relates well with kids and teenagers also. Wed recommend Tom for trumpet lessons and jazz improvisation.

Tom has been an excellent teacher for my son. He is able to adapt each lesson to the needs of the student. My son really enjoys going to his lessons. I have seen a lot of progress in the time he has taken lessons from Tom. We highly recommend him as a teacher!

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

When working with new students, I ask them to bring any music material they may have (if none, that's totally cool!) whether it be school related, technique books, or anything relevant to trumpet or music. After hearing them play a few notes I will have a good understanding of where they are technically, and we can go from there.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Bachelor of Music with an emphasis in Commerical Music from Snow College, 2017.

Mentored by Harry Connick, Jr and Wynton Marsalis

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

What types of students have you worked with?

I have worked with complete beginners, intermediate level, and professional level players. I also have experience working with students on the spectrum.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

I would recommend looking for a teacher who currently plays the trumpet for a living and has experience with multiple styles of music.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?

Why do you want to play the trumpet? What made you want to play it? What are your goals?
