"Thanks for being a great teacher. I really enjoyed all of our time together. You taught me that playing music really is a joyful experience. You also really helped me a lot mentally his year with my embouchure change and my frustrations with that. Going to our lessons was like therapy for me. Thanks for everything"

"Tom is a very talented musician and performer. Our son has improved immeasurably since he started taking lessons, especially learning improvisation and intermediate jazz concepts. Best of all, he likes lessons and looks forward to them and also practicing. Tom is easy to communicate with, super important! He relates well with kids and teenagers also. We'd recommend Tom for trumpet lessons and jazz improvisation."
