About Thomas
Tom is a graduate of the renowned Berklee School of Music. For the past 25 years, he has enjoyed a diverse career as a soloist, band leader, theater conductor, studio musician, music teacher, and composer. Tom teaches Jazz, Classical, and Popular styles. He uses the TEY music method for instruction "Blending Tradition with Innovation".
I gravitated into teaching while working at a music store. As I got more into it I developed my own system of training based off of my success as a professional performer and my education from Berklee College of Music which in my opinion, is second to none. I also teach what I call "Mentoring". I show students who are interested in playing professionally how to break into the business. It's one thing to be able to play an instrument, it's a whole another thing to be able to get payed to do it. I can show you how!
I started playing piano when I was six years old and had several teachers through my adolescence and teen years. I began playing flute and saxophone in my teens and since I was already accomplished on piano I decided to get a degree in woodwind performance from Berklee College of Music.

When I get a new student for piano, flute or sax I will question them about any previous training they may have had to ascertain their current ability level. If they have had prior training I will ask them to play their best piece(s) to give me a better idea of their skill level is. I will inquire what their reasons/goals are for studying music and then I will design a custom program that will help them achieve their goals. If they are starting from scratch I like to instill sound fundamentals from the beginning. For my woodwind students I test their instruments to see that they are working properly. My goal as a teacher is to raise the students performance ability to new heights and to instill the sheer joy of playing music.
