About Tom
Throughout my life education has always played a big part. When I was a young child I attended a Pestalozzi style school in The Netherlands, which is a type of education that follows the natural development of a child and fosters their own passions without outside pressure, and in my teenage years I was homeschooled.
My homeschooling years were very formative. It was a period in my life where I had a great level of freedom to pursue, and be supported in pursuing, a wide variety of interests. Most notably; music.
I started playing guitar at fourteen and spent hours on end practicing every day, eventually I built my own electric guitar, played in various gigging bands, and attended an intensive jazz course.
For the past seven years I have been working as a music teacher both privately as well as at schools, which has given me experience teaching 1 on 1, in groups, in classrooms, coaching bands, and much more.
Helping students develop their strengths and abilities, foster their passions, and find their musical voice is what I love about teaching.

My approach to teaching is heavily informed by my years working in democratic, self-directed learning environments.
Being attentive to the individual needs and interests of my students helps me teach in a way that is not just fun, but actually covers the materials that my students are interested in!
These classes are for anyone. Whether you’re a BEGINNER looking to learn their first songs and chords, an INTERMEDIATE player looking to master the fretboard, or an ADVANCED shredder looking to get into jazz, I’d love to help you take the next step.

I’ve been taking lessons with Tom for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier. Tom is incredibly passionate about music and knows exactly how to bring out the best in me. Every lesson feels inspiring. Tom creates a relaxed atmosphere where you can really explore your own musical voice while still improving your technique.
What I love most is how personal his approach is. He takes time to understand what motivates me and shapes the lessons around my goals. Thanks to his lessons, I’ve grown so much in both skill and confidence. I’d recommend Tom to anyone looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely inspiring music teacher.Tom knows how to explain complex music theory in an easy and logical way. His enthusiasm and jokes help me remember theory I have tried learning before but would always forget quite quickly.
But most importantly, lessons with Tom are always so much fun! Would highly recommend!See more recommendations
