About Tom
I have been a professional musician since graduating from the Sydney Conservatory in the 1990s. Starting as a live performer, session guitarist and tutor, I transitioned to writing and editing music for television in the early 2000s. Since then, I have written, performed and produced music for successful television shows, documentaries and advertisements. These real-world experiences led me to develop an intuitive and practical method for understanding both music and guitar as a unified whole. I look forward to being able to share this system with you.

I like helping guitar players who feel like their abilities have plateaued. My lessons are designed to kickstart your progress, by unlocking the innate musical intuition that you already possess - whether you realize it yet, or not. Starting with a simple and practical understanding of the fingerboard, you will begin to feel the ebb and flow of melody and harmony at a deep visceral level, rather than merely be acquainted with it at a theoretical or surface level. As we tap into this ability, music will no longer feel external to you, but like a natural extension of yourself - emanating from within, and being given voice through your guitar. This is the essential foundation needed for gaining confidence in just about any musical situation. So if you have been struggling to make progress lately, let’s meet up for a free introductory lesson and see if I can help you break through to the next level.

- Chris is a keen student and was quick to catch on to the concepts we discussed. I look forward to seeing his progress :)Tom's response :
Perfect! Tom is an excellent teacher. He began with a base scale and built triad inversions around the notes of the scale. It was interesting and very enjoyable.
- Ian is a very nice person and attentive student. He was quick to digest and apply the concepts we talked about. I look forward to continuing our lessons and seeing how far we can travel!Tom's response :
