Information About Tom - Cardiff teacher

Personal Description:

I am a Guitarist based in Cardiff with 7 years experience and a passion for teaching music to students of any level.

I’m a professional musician gigging with Gregory porter, function bands, Motown bands, vocals duos, ceildh bands and a variety of Jazz groups.

I studied Jazz for 4 years at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama achieving a first. I am also a new member of live music now will allow me to teach children with Special educational needs and deliver concerts to them and other people that may struggle to access music.

Tutoring Experience:

Plymstock School - 6 months peripatetic
Private students in Plymouth, I have since moved away
I have active students in Cardiff
Tutor for RCT music service

Tutoring Approach:

My approach is student led, I create a course for a student based on their needs, wishes and what they would like to achieve.

I try to teach in a style that I wish I was initially taught as a young guitarist. I will never teach you anything for little reason, whether we look at something new to push your technical ability, music theory or repertoire there will be a strong focus onto the question of why we are focusing on something and what we can learn from it rather than just the what.

Learning an instrument is a wonderful journey and my job is to guide you on that journey.
