His top priority is ensuring that students genuinely enjoy their time at the piano. Tom’s approach is all about creating an environment that inspires joy and curiosity, fueling students’ passion and making practice feel rewarding rather than a chore.

Whether exploring classical, jazz, blues, or pop, Tom’s lessons focus not only on the techniques of piano playing but also on understanding the music—why a piece sounds beautiful, joyful, or melancholic. For students interested in creativity, he brings in elements of improvisation, from reimagining a Bach chorale to exploring the feel of a Charlie Parker blues, giving students the tools to express themselves freely and confidently.

An accomplished musician, Tom performs at some of the UK and Europe’s most prestigious festivals and jazz clubs, including London’s legendary Ronnie Scott’s, and has several critically acclaimed albums to his name. Jamie Cullum recently praised his latest album on BBC Radio 2 as “spellbinding.”
