Imagine doing homework at the age of 35, Thomas gave me creative home work, instructions, and his soft attitude made the classes so fun that I enjoyed the classes too much that I kinda miss his after the classes. Overall highly satisfied. 4.6/5

Every class in North Tempe is energised by Thomas . After only three months of working with him, my son can now read and play sheet music with assurance.

When I moved to Turtle Ridge, I was eager to learn again. Thomas has taught me to enhance my phrasing and improve my classical pieces. His upright piano brings a unique vibe, and his passion for nuance has helped me approach Liszt with newfound confidence.
