Piano, Composition, and Music Theory Teaching
Performing
"His technique allied to exceptional power, sensitivity,
and charisma marks him out as an artist to watch."
Tom has been a piano and composition teacher for my son over the past eight years.
As a music teacher, Tom is extraordinary. He possesses the right balance of skill, encouragement, engagement and concern that has inspired a life-long love of music for my son. Tom is professional in his approach and expects the best out of his students. Tom has a wide-ranging skill set in music practice and theory and his knowledge is extensive. He has the ability to prepare his students for major performances or recitals but also the calmness and concern to ensure everything will be fine throughout the process.
Over the eight-year period Tom has been honest, trustworthy and reliable in dealing with me as a parent and has been flexible in his delivery of lessons as needed. Tom has consistently informed us of progress or ways we may be able to help my son advance his level of musicianship. This holistic view of communication, excellence and guidance sets Tom apart for other music teachers in our area.
I recommend Tom highly
