WHAT PEOPLE SAY
John S.
- Bass student
"I was playing at open mics with some of my friends when a singer came up to me and said she really needed a new bass player for her band. I only knew a handful of their songs and TJ helped me learn them pretty quickly. During that time I really got to like his style of approaching a song and making it his own. I then decided to work with TJ for the next 2 years on my core skills and our band ended up getting a weekly show at the best stage in town, right on the water for over 4 years."
Ayuj S.
- Piano and Music Theory student
"Initially, I played piano pieces like Beethoven's 1st movement of the Moonlight Sonata without understanding music theory or technique. Thanks to TJ's knowledge and guidance, I improved my technique and learned music theory, which enabled me to progress to complex works like Liszt's Sonata in B Minor in a very short time frame."
Becky O.
- Music Director
and Colleague
"TJ has been my master musician and colleague for several years with bass guitar, vocal coaching, piano, guitar, and sound. Couldn't be happier with him. He's very professional, and loved by all of us."
Danika I.
- mother of
two vocal/guitar
students
"My girls (ages 11 and 14) have been taking voice and guitar lessons with TJ for almost 2 years. TJ has such a wonderful, patient and inspiring approach to teaching. They have been having so much fun learning and playing their favorite music; especially Taylor Swift songs. Since we began taking lessons with TJ, I have watched my girls become happier and more confident with their skills and self expression. They really enjoy their lessons and look forward to them every week."
