Are the lessons suitable for beginners?
Yes, you can take lessons if you have no prior knowledge of jazz. However, if you want to study jazz it is helpful if you already have some skill at playing piano.
Do the lessons take place online?
Yes, the lesson take place on Zoom.
What happens if I miss a lesson?
If you miss a lesson you will be able to reschedule the lesson sometime within the same month.
What is the advantage of taking jazz piano lessons?
It is very confusing to try and learn to play jazz by yourself, because there is so much information available, and it is very hard to know what to learn next. Also, you need someone who can explain the theory at the level of understanding that you are at today!
How much practice will I need to do?
You will be expected to have tried and practised the things which have been discussed, several times in-beween lessons, in order to progress. If you have the time to practise more, you will obviously see faster progress.
What equipment will I need?
All you need is a computer or laptop, setup at the end of your piano.
How do I pay?
After you have spoken to Tommy and agreed to start your course of study, you will be sent a signup form and you will then receive a monthly invoice.
Can I stop at any time?
You pay one month at a time, and you are not locked into any contract. If for any reason you need to stop the lessons, all you have to do is to send Tommy an email. Your billing will be cancelled straight away, starting from the 1st day of the next month.
What is the Pricing?
1-hour lesson: £40
30-minute lesson: £25
Monthly subscription course: Less than the cost of a single private lesson!
An incredibly skilled pianist, with a deep and developed understanding of music across a large range of genres. Has helped me develop largely by giving me direction and guidance in my practice, and by constantly teaching me new and interesting material and knowledge. A great teacher and person who I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn piano and expand there knowledge of music.

Tommy is an absolute angel. Working with him is so easy, he makes learning fun, he is patient and kind. The best thing of all if I don’t understand something he will just explain it again or in a different way, and he does not make me feel bad for not getting it first or second time. Would recommend for anyone

Tommy is an extremely professional and knowledgeable teacher of piano. He is pleasant, friendly and very patient when you're struggling to get things right. He is an expert judge at when to stand back and let you achieve by yourself, and when an example or playing alongside you will help you to get your head around an issue. I came to Tommy having spent some time learning on apps and the feedback, support and critical analysis he provides has made for a far better learning experience.
