About Tom
I am a full-time professional guitar tutor with over 30 years playing experience including 15 years teaching guitar.
I have taught students from all backgrounds, ages, abilities and neurodiversities.
I now mainly focus on one-to-one private tuition for kids, teens and adults, and can facilitate joint lessons for 2 people.
In the past I have worked peripatetically, in music schools, delivered group lessons, music therapy, song writing, collaborate and play with other musicians.
Many of my younger students have excelled in their music GCSE, BTech's and gone on to higher education, studying music.
I have supported my students so that they have been able to set up bands, regularly gig, play open mic and produce their own music.
My passion in music is creativity and building that confidence in others. My enthusiasm even led me to dig out an extension to my basement and build my home studio to teach guitar.
The studio is a safe space, it is well equipped, I provide an enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere and a warm welcome to all.
I provide high quality instruction and education and make this available to all children and adults alike who may struggle in groups, mainstream environments and work settings.

I provide informal, personalised teaching that focuses on listening to your needs so we can identify goals you'd like to achieve
Structured lessons will be offered with some set pieces and exercises, with an understanding that every individual learns differently. It is important for a teacher to recognise this for you to grow and enjoy your lessons. There are no exams and there is no competition, just the drive inside of you to play better.
My teaching method is flexible and can be adapted where needed to suit your learning style.
This is your time to learn the music you would like to play.
You will learn to understand music, its dynamics, techniques and the underlying structures that make it work.
You will learn how to practice and get the most from your time, even with a busy lifestyle.
You can reach fulfilment in your guitar playing and a skill that will never leave you.
Once you get started you can only get better, you can play anywhere and to anybody.

Tom is an amazing teacher. Aside from being a great player Tom genuinely cares about his students and knows how to communicate in the right way to get the best out of them. He’s the tutor that I wish I had when I was younger.
Tom took me on as a 69year old absolute beginner. After a few lessons it became obvious that I was having trouble with fretwork due to some arthritis in my fingers. Tom did everything he could to find alternative and easier ways for me to form chords. When progress was slow due to my arthritis and I became a bit despondent, Tom was always sympathetic and encouraging in reminding me what I could play before my lessons……..absolutely nothing. I will never be a lead guitarist but I can strum a few, well quite a few, chords and that is due to Tom’s excellent tutoring. He is also a very nice person to talk to. Thank you Tom
Tom is an experienced guitar teacher who has helped me find new direction and enjoyment in my guitar playing since starting lessons with him almost two years ago. Highly recommended!
Hello everyone, I've been having Tom's guitar tuition since April this year 2024 one hour a week and plenty of homework practice, I always fancied learning to play and now retired why not I can now change chords in time and at decent bpm according to Tom and we're now working on certain songs of an agreed choice suitable to my abilities, I find Tom to be patient and easy going extremely knowledgeable on all things regarding guitars and music, he also makes a decent cup of tea, I really look forward to my lessons and will say that if you're thinking of getting started in learning the guitar why not have a chat with him and see if it's for you
Regards MarkTom is a great tutor. He taught my son when he was 8. He’s a very kind and understanding man. Highly 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!View more recommendations
