TESTIMONIALS

With over 16 years of teaching experience, Tom has guided many students who have gone on to study at leading music conservatoires and establish themselves as professional musicians. Here’s what some of them have to say:

I Have been studying jazz piano with Tom for the last couple of years, lessons are always outstanding and well thought out. My playing and understanding of a wide spectrum of jazz has improved greatly and I'm constantly discovering new music to listen to and learn thanks to Tom's recommendations. I wouldn't be the musician I am today without Tom!
