My daughter (12yo) has been learning electric guitar with Tom for the past 9 months and loves it. He is a calm and patient teacher who has been able to tailor the lessons to suit my daughter's ability and musical preference. She is making really good progress and is learning a lot of skills during her fortnightly lessons. Tom was kind enough to recommend a suitable first guitar and has given us lots of tips of where to find affordable accessories to further her learning. We would recommend Tom to others looking to learn the guitar. A friendly, relaxed approach to teaching - a lovely guy!

I started guitar lessons with Tom as a 69 or 70 year old ( I can’t remember the exact date) absolute beginner. I asked Tom if he would take on the challenge of teaching a pensioner and he was very positive and encouraged me to have a go. I struggled with the fretwork from day one due to arthritic fingers but Tom was so supportive and showed me alternative ways to achieve the same chords. Unfortunately I will never be a proper guitarist but I will be forever grateful to Tom for his perseverance and patience. He is a great teacher and I heartily recommend him.

Tom is an outstanding guitar teacher who truly understands how to connect with his students. His lessons are engaging, well-structured, and tailored to my goals and skill level. Whether it's mastering the basics or tackling more advanced techniques, Tom always explains things clearly and patiently. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but he also makes learning enjoyable with his passion for music and friendly approach. Since starting lessons with Tom, my playing has improved significantly, and I’ve gained a lot more confidence. If you’re looking for a dedicated and inspiring guitar teacher, I can’t recommend Tom enough!

I have been taking guitar lessons with Tom for just over a year now and I always look forward to our lessons. Tom is a great tutor. He has taught me how to read notes, different strumming techniques including finger plucking and how to understand the beats of the various songs I have learnt. I would totally recommend Tom to anyone who wants to learn guitar as a total beginner or to someone who wants to become a better player. He will take lessons at a pace to suit you and is always very encouraging.

Having been a guitarist for going on 13 years now, I can say with confidence that since starting lessons with Tom, I've never enjoyed the process of both learning and playing guitar more than I have right now. Our lessons are tailored specifically towards me and are structured with a good balance of theory and practice, but there's still plenty of scope for me to request a specific song to learn or technique to look at. Tom's passion for his instrument and teaching is obvious and irresistible. I always look forward to our lessons and the next song, technique or point of theory I'll be learning. Thanks Tom!
