About Thomas
- What kind of experience do you have? I have been teaching all of the above subjects/disciplines at some point or other over the last 5 years. While the majority of my pupils have been (and are) young children, I have taught a handful of more mature pupils. - Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate? I am in the process of applying for an up-to-date CRB disc. Cert., please contact me regarding the status of this. - Where and with whom did you train? My cello teachers have included Simon Webb (former cellist and chairman of LPO), Raphael Wallfisch (World-renowned soloist) and Natalia Pavlutskaya. I have played in masterclasses with Matthew Barley, Bernard Gregor-Smith, Robert Cohen, Christoph Richter, Gregor Horsch, Katherine Jenkinson and Emma Ferrand. I perform regularly as a soloist or in various ensembles and orchestras and I have performed concertos by Schumann, Haydn and Saint-Saens. As a composer I have studied with Robert Saxton and Martin Suckling and briefly with Gary Carpenter and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies also.

Thomas gave me a series of piano lessons after a while away from the instrument. He is very clear, knowledgeable, and above all patient! Lessons were very enjoyable too despite my rustiness.
I studied the cello with Tom for three years before moving away. The lessons were always interesting and inspiring but most of all I had great fun each week.
During the last twelve months my daughter has enjoyed excellent tutoring in the guitar from Tom Shelley. Her technique, knowledge and enjoyment of lessons have all benefited from Tom's attention to detail, wide knowledge and cheery demeanour. My daughter has enjoyed the last twelve months immensely and is very much looking forward to continuing her lessons with Tom in the future.
