Hey! It's always funny to write about yourself, but here we are! I am a drummer/guitarist living in Brooklyn, NY. I have toured the country twice with my band Ritual Talk on 6 week tours that we booked ourselves. I love to connect and make music with people from anywhere and of all types of genres. I also love to cook and read and do pretty much anything in nature. I believe in there being no right way to do something and to listen to the student and learn from them as much as they learn from me. I am very self aware and believe in self care and building emotional maturity in all the ways. Compassion is a much needed skill in music all around and I hope to continue to spread it as a teacher who loves music so much :) My apartment is beautiful and I live with my brother and high school best friend from home. Both are wonderful humans and music lovers themselves. Let's play some drums and cultivate an open, welcoming environment :)

Jazz Performance
Teaches ages 5+
Has background check
Tom is very professional and a warm person. He is patient and answered any and all questions I had. He made sure we worked on the fundamentals and as well on music that I was interested in. He is very knowledgeable in music and it shows when he explains techniques and breaks its down for you. The lesson is both fun and informative, which I appreciate. I highly recommend Tom for drum lessons.
I am so glad that I can take lessons with Tom! He has a solid music background, both theoretically and practically. He listens to me carefully and quickly understands what I am looking for. He is patient and nice, making sure I feel comfortable all the time, yet encourages me to do the things I may not feel 100% confident with (and I did it!). Recommended.
