About Thomas
Do you want to learn and improve, but dislike traditional sheet music learning methods?
Do you want to improvise, but don't know where to start?
Are you tired of common chord progressions, and want to learn the quick tricks to turning standard chords into spicy chords?
If any of these resonate with you, you've come to the right place.
I have been playing piano for 5 years and guitar for 2. I taught myself using minimal sheet music, and had to reverse-engineer the nuances technicalities, and harmonies of each instrument. This gives me a deeper understanding of where technique can go awry, and my own experience has taught me how to adapt techniques if you also struggle with having smaller hands.
EXPERIENCE:
- 1 year of teaching individual lessons
- I am well-versed in learning and understanding harmony, how melodies and harmonies interact, and learning to improvise so that you can confidently say what you want to say through your instrument.
- I have played live at local Santa Cruz jazz jams.
SUPPORTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
- I am a patient, active listener who can tail each lesson to your individual learning needs.
- By day, I work as a residential mental health counselor. I bring those exact interpersonal skills, patience, and rapport building from my day job to each of my lessons to create a supportive learning environment.

Thomas is a really great teacher and guide through the process of learning the piano. I had a smaller keyboard, but that seemed to be no issue for him at all! He taught me the appropriate form, gave great advice on how to utilize the many keys, and gave me lots of inspiration to even develop my own melodies! Thank you, Thomas!
