I have taught guitar, music production and composition both privately and on behalf of other organisations, including with a song-writing workshop at The Old Town Hall, Hemel Hempstead, an electric guitar master-class at Sound It Out Studios, Walsall and regular music production sessions at Roman Fields School, Hemel Hempstead. I regularly teach guitar in schools in Harpenden, Luton and Hemel Hempstead. I am very adaptable and always tailor the content of my sessions to best meet the interests and abilities of my students.
I have also composed and produced music for over ten years, including for several TV shows, film and radio, (for example BBC Devon radio), award-winning filmmakers 4bi9 Media and for various production companies such as ROBA and Tree of Arts. I have performed acoustic and electric guitar music at a variety of prestigious venues across the London and Home Counties circuit, including Monto Water Rats, Camden's Proud Galleries and The Good Ship.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Guitar tuition:
I have been taking lessons from Tom for a couple of months and I have noticed a huge difference in my technical ability, I now have a good grasp of basic theory and look forward to my lessons.Music Production and Guitar tuition:
Tom has worked with two of our autistic young people and has been very successful. He has an innate ability to tailor his teaching to the individual which has resulted in both boys progressing at a very rapid rate. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Tom's services to any head teacher.Guitar tuition:
After a 15 year layoff from playing Tom helped kick my technique back into shape and improve my musical theory knowledge in short order. We have covered a variety of styles including Blues, Rock, Metal, and Gypsy Jazz and I thoroughly enjoy our lessons. He is always happy to adapt his teaching towards what you are most interested in learning. Highly recommended!View more recommendations
