Over Tom
Sorry that my Nederlands is not good. I need to teach the lessons in English. I am a veteran music teacher with over 10 years of experience in a variety of teaching environments such as private one on one lessons, classroom teaching for HAVO aged kids, summer camps and workshops, music therapy for high and low-functioning autistic children, and as a band leader for group lessons.
I have been writing songs and playing in bands for over 20 years. In 2016, I received my music degree in the United States at Webster University in Saint Louis, where I was raised. Prior to that I received vocal performance certificate at Musician's Institute in Los Angeles. In 2023, I completed one year of study at Utrecht University for a musicology graduate program. Music is my passion and my life. I love teaching to enthusiastic students as much as I love studying, writing, playing, and performing.

Every guitar student has different goals with the instrument and with their overall music development. Whether you are a complete beginner, intermediate, or advanced student, I meet you where you are in your development and give you the precise information you need to grow and have more fun with music.
Music can be thought of as learning a language, and I like to structure lessons this way. After we discuss your goals with the instrument and with your overall musical development, we get to work. This looks different for each student depending on your level.
If you are a beginner, we are looking at basic fundamentals such as chords, scales, technique, and endurance. However, these fundamentals have to be supported with playing actual MUSIC, not just studying the "grammar" (to still use our language analogy). So, LISTENING and IMITATING music we love is crucial for every student at every skill level.
If you are an intermediate or advanced student, then we spend the lesson strengthening your fundamentals, perhaps filling in missing gaps, and working towards more familiarity and fluency on the fretboard. Again, listening and imitating your influences are so important when developing your own voice on the instrument. So, for every lesson we will always supplement our chords, scales, and fundamentals by playing actual music that you love or music the I have written for you as an exercise.
I keep lessons fun and engaging. I am huge music nerd and love every style. The first lesson is free! I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Perfect! Tom has been teaching my son Lawrence (16 years old) guitar online for the last 4 months. The progress Lawrence has made from an absolute beginner to playing recognisable music is unbelievable. I highly recommend Tom.
- Lawrence always comes to the guitar lesson eager to learn. He is patient with the instrument and the process necessary to commit the movements to muscle memory. Our lessons take place online, however, this does not distract him from engaging with the music and fundamentals I teach him. Lawrence also has an interest in songwriting for which we will dive into once he has a stronger handle on the fundamentals of guitar. He is a great student I'm happy to work with!Antwoord van Tom :
Perfect! My time with Tom as my teacher was incredibly positive! I immediately felt at ease, and everything was explained well. Besides learning to play songs, you also learn a lot about theory, which helps you practice guitar better. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher :)
- Jamie alway comes the the lesson motivated to learn the songs that she loves. This self-motivation is so crucial as a beginner to any endeavor. This lead to us learning the entire song "otherside' by Red Hot Chili Peppers. She also used the skills I taught her in the lesson to learn songs on her own such as "come as you are" by NirvanaAntwoord van Tom :

Tom Is great guitar teacher . I have been learning from him for the last 8 months and I have really enjoyed every bit . He is approachable ; patient and extremely passionate about teaching . He combines theory and gives very practical fun practices to improve your skills . I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a good teacher to up your guitar playing !
Tom is een supergoede docent! Je voelt je snel op je gemak in zijn lessen. Hij creëert echt een safe space waardoor je fouten durft te maken en durft te experimenteren waardoor je sneller leert. Na een les ga ik altijd blij weg en met het gevoel dat ik weer veel geleerd heb. Ik zou hem je zeker aanbevelen!
Tom is such a wonderful and safe learning space! I felt so nervous to start taking voice lessons and when I got to the lesson he immediately put me at ease with his friendly and warm demeanor. He is an expert musician and vocalist. He was able to explain how the body all works together to create your voice in a way that was both educational and easy to understand. The first half of the lesson is warm-ups and breathing exercises which are so fun to do with him, then the second half is working on a song of your choice. I highly recommend anyone take music lessons with Tom. He’s a 10/10 teacher!
Tom is creatief, heeft gevoel voor timing en overziet de samenhang tussen verschillende instrumenten (we zitten samen in een muziek-project). Daardoor is samenspelen niet alleen leuk, maar ook ontzettend leerzaam geworden!
Goede leraar! Stelt me op m'n gemak en staat er écht boven. Bovendien vind ik de lessen erg leuk!
Tom is the best guitar teacher in town!
I have known Tom for over 5 years. He is patient, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable of different areas of music. He is truly passionate about teaching music and wants to share his love of the subject with others. Even as a complete beginner I felt inspired to listen to more kinds of music and Tom helped me build the confidence I needed to continue picking up my guitar and playing for people!
Tom is a great guitar teacher who understands music very well. He's familiar with many different genres and styles and has a lot of knowledge to draw from. He's also really patient, friendly, open-minded and willing to learn new ideas himself. I would definitely recommend him whether you are just starting out or already have been playing for some time.
Tom is a patient teacher. I had never played guitar before and was worried that once I tried it, I would not like it. He helped me learn basic rhythm and cords, all while positively encouraging me to keep practicing. I now go to open mic jams and play rhythm for people.
