Tom

I`m an enthusiastic teacher who enjoys working with pupils of all ages and abilities. Over the years I have guided students who have come to me for a great variety of reasons - from those hoping to pursue a career in music to people with limited practice time who are looking to have a bit of fun and engage with music for an hour a week during lessons - and as a result I`m keen to work together with my students to find an approach that meets their individual needs, allowing them to improve, achieve their goals and most importantly, feel inspired about learning.

Availability: My schedule is usually very flexible.

Willing to travel: 5 miles
