I am a professional classical guitarist with a Jazz studies degree from C.C.R.I and a B.A. in music from Rhode Island College. I am a friendly, laid back teacher willing to help any student at whatever level they are at. After twelve years of private teaching experience and having taught students of all ages, I realize each student develops at his or her own pace. Each student is gradually taught all the fundamentals of guitar in a methodical and fun manner. While building strong technique and good music skills, students also learn how to apply their skills to their favorite songs and pieces. Students can pursue any music style they are interested in. I specialize in Classical and Jazz but have taught and love to play many different genres of music. I also have experience in teaching developmentally disabled students.

My musical influences are: Andreas Segovia, John Williams, David Russell, Rolland Dynes, Christopher Parkening, Goran Schollcher, Ana Vidovic, Laurendo Almedia,...

Hi, I'm Tom. My style of teaching is centered around the students wants and needs. I base my lessons around music that the student already listens to and enjoys (as well as introducing obscure music the student might not otherwise know about). I have been teaching for 7 years, completed 7 years of music study at Boston College and have studied under accomplished performers and composers. My philosophy boils down to one notion, keep it fun for the student.

Music is my passion! It is involved in every detail of my life, everyday of my life! Therefore, being able to teach others the skills that I have been so lucky to possess, i believe, is a gift! Being extremely versatile and able to play a wide variety of instruments (guitar, bass, mandolin, trumpet, music theory, composition and recording) as well as being familiar and experienced with almost any kind of music you can think of, I am able to help any student get exactly what he wants out of every lesson. I believe that the next generation of musicians are so vitally important to the continued creation of incredible music, music that changes the world! Without that first nudge out the door, who knows what the world could be missing out on! Lets keep the music alive! I have been teaching for about 6 years, through company studios and my own home. I have seen some amazing students walk in and out my door in this time and its the greatest feeling to hear students improve so much...

Teaching is something I'm truly passionate about! I've been teaching privately for over 10 years and most of the students I've had were complete newbies, although I have taught students of much more advanced skill levels. Whether they were 7 or 35, picking up the sticks for the first time, or had been playing for years, I always pride myself on creating a comfortable environment that encourages and enables every student to excel and develop a deep passion for music and the drums. But most of all, I want them to have fun!
I started playing drums and percussion when I was 12. I absolutely know the value of having a knowledgeable and supportive teacher because I had one that changed my life. Taking that first lesson is the biggest step and you deserve to have someone that wants to see you get better and enjoy playing.
My passion for music took me to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where I studied the drums . Feeling a lack in my musical education, I actually switched my...

I am an all around musician who loves to share my knowledge and passion for music with others. I find it just as important to know how to teach someone as it is to know about the instrument you are teaching.

I am a guitarist from Mansfield, MA who grew up in a completely non-musical household, and, for one reason or another, always had an affinity for music. After failing monumentally at piano lessons in the second grade, it took several years before I made the decision to pick up a guitar for the first time. As it turned out, learning the instrument was the best possible thing that could have happened to me, and it became an important asset in almost every activity in which I participated. My hard work ultimately paid off, and by the time I graduated high school, it was clear to me that I had made the right choice in seeking to pursue music as a career.
Now in my final semester at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Ma, I have had countless opportunities to be active in all areas of my trade. In my time at school, my knowledge of both my instrument, and music in general has expanded with every new endeavor. I have gained valuable experience playing live music all over the...
