From there, Thom will cater your future lessons based on your needs and provide you with professional music lessons as always.
Reviews from Thom's students:
Steve 5/5 - As a more mature student that has always had an interest in drummers and always wanted to learn to play I was apprehensive about contacting a teacher simply because I thought “will I be taken seriously” however I contacted Tom and he put me at ease straight away, fantastic way of teaching, super mellow and gives you want you want, weather you are like me and just wanted to learn how to play along to some of my favourite songs or you want to learn all the complex ins and outs, really cannot recommend this guy highly enough.
Moira 5/5 - Thom was recommended to me by the father of our school's 'coolest' Year 4 guitarist. We had to wait to get started since Thom was fully booked and I am so pleased we did because the lessons have been amazing. My son started during lockdown and although I wasn't sure about how online lessons would run, Thom's teaching is highly interactive and my son's progress over the last 6 months has been fantastic. Lessons are kept light and fun, expertly focussed on technical skills and teaching how to approach the songs that my son chooses and wants to be able to play. I receive regular, excellent feedback and advice on how to keep up daily practice. Above all I think it is the confidence that Thom gives my son that makes the difference. Thom has such a charming and cool teaching style, his lessons are always looked forward to every week. I've been so impressed that I am starting with Thom myself on the drums and look forward to posting another first hand review. I recommend without a doubt!!
Thom is very much looking forward to seeing you online!
