About Thomas

For over 20 years, I have taught the instruments of the band and orchestra, and I have a degree in K-12 instrumental music. I specialize in beginner and intermediate students, and I often teach siblings to play music together on different instruments.

If you're not sure which musical instrument might be right for you or your child, you can schedule an Instrument Discovery Experience and try up to four different instruments in one lesson. Explore the instruments of the Brass, Woodwinds, Strings, and Percussion Families, and learn about the unique joys and challenges of each.

I teach:

Piano

Orchestral Strings: Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass

Brass: Trumpet, Trombone, French Horn, Tuba

Woodwinds: Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone

Percussion: Snare Drum, Bells, Xylophone

and Guitar

I enjoy helping students make progress toward better musicianship. My teaching style emphasizes the development of music reading skills and proper instrumental technique while encouraging students to progress at their own pace. I frequently write music for my students to play, always adjusting the level of difficulty to the skill of the individual student. Through my many years of teaching, I have learned that the goal of becoming a fine musician can be achieved by determined students of all ages who have the passion and drive to put in the time and work to develop the craft of playing a musical instrument.

I have a degree in K-12 instrumental music, and have been teaching in the Wheaton area since 1996, and in Bartlett since 2015. I attended Montana State University where I performed in the symphony orchestra, chamber orchestra, symphonic band, and percussion ensemble. Majoring in K-12 music education, I learned how to play and teach all of the band and orchestra instruments, and studied composition and arranging. I earned a Bachelors Degree in Music Education and a K-12 teaching certificate in 1985. Since 2003, I have been a teacher at Suburban Music in Wheaton, where I teach individual music lesson to students of all ages. In addition to teaching piano and all of the band and orchestra instruments, I have also taught bucket drumlines and group hornlines. My teaching style emphasizes the development of music reading skills and proper instrumental technique while encouraging students to progress at their own pace.

Through my many years of teaching, I have learned that the goal of becoming a fine musician can be achieved by determined students of all ages who have the passion and drive to put in the time and work to develop the craft of playing a musical instrument. After moving to Bartlett Illinois in 2015, I set up Mr. Tom's Music Studio in my home, while continuing to teach at Suburban Music in Wheaton. I provide Bartlett area residents with local music instruction while also offering many of the services of a music store through Suburban Music in Wheaton.

About the lesson

During the first lesson, I find out what musical experiences and skills the student already has, and build from there. My students learn to play a musical instrument at their own pace, developing musicianship and music reading skills along the way. If you're not sure which musical instrument might be right for you or your child, you can schedule an Instrument Discovery Experience and try up to four different instruments in one lesson. Explore the instruments of the Brass, Woodwinds, Strings, and Percussion Families, and learn about the unique joys and challenges of each.
