Teaching music has always been my first love. I knew for a very long time, that I wanted to share the gift of music with others.

I have taught private music lessons since 2011. After five years in public school, I decided to pursue teaching privately, full-time. Read More

Instruments: Drums

My name is Tom and I'm a young professional drummer living in Nashville. I'm originally from Iowa, went to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and have lived in Nashville for a little over two years. I have been playing drums all my life, starting on pots and pans and eventually graduating to bigger and better things. I was brought up on a heavy dose of classic rock and The Beatles, and later got into jazz, concert percussion, and a myriad of other styles and genres. Read More

George Kochavitsky wrote a book called "A Scientific Approach to Playing the Piano". In which, he says the piano is not the instrument. It's a machine. You are the instrument.

Instruments: Cello

I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee where as a young person I played cello and bass in all sorts of groups - from rock and funk bands to jazz big bands and combos. I fell in love with classical music in my early 20s, and I've pursued it passionately ever since. I earned a M.M. in cello performance in 2019 from FSU where I studied with Greg Sauer. I also hold an undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee Chattanooga, where I double majored in International Studies and Spanish. Read More

Instruments: Trombone Euphonium

I started teaching lessons when I was in my undergrad and really enjoy working one on one with my students and watching their incredible growth and how they fall in love with their sound and music along the way. I encourage students to practice as much as they can without hurting themselves. While taking private lesson is a great step for becoming a better musician only seriously practicing for one hour a week while I teach will not get them to where they want to be. Read More
