Introduction
My teaching philosophy is centered around two main prerogatives: 1) to teach efficient, reliable, healthy body mechanics to maximize longevity, technical facility, which will also great expand your capacity for musical expression; and 2) to teach students how to coach themselves the other six days of the week when I'm not around to reinforce and help them to retain new and recurring concepts. To truly develop good and natural technique one must also develop the skills to practice effectively, and autonomously drive and navigate their own progress. Transferable to anything we do (not just violin), these skills take a long time to develop, and are most quickly done so with understanding guidance.

Thomas has been teaching me weekly for 3 years. Each and every week, I can tell that for the week before he has been thinking hard about each aspect of my playing the violin and personalizes that week's lesson to what I need. He is thoughtful about everything from my understanding of the music's rhythms, to what I need to do to improve the sound I make with the violin given my particular body mechanics, to how I should approach a piece that I want to learn. He is warm and makes good use of humor. On top of all this he is a master musician and I know I am learning from someone who has thought deeply about the violin as well as about me as a student of the violin. I have made tremendous progress because of Thomas. I could not ask for a better or more dedicated teacher!

I highly recommend Thomas for anyone looking for violin lessons or to purchase an instrument. I'm an adult learner who started taking lessons from Thomas over a year ago--starting from zero. Thomas is great at meeting you where you're at to make the learning experience fit with your life and preferences, which always makes lessons both enjoyable and challenging rather than stressful. As someone without any prior experience, I also appreciate how he equips you with the skills you need to problem-solve and practice on your own. In addition, I recently purchased a violin from Thomas. I was blown away by his thoroughness and generosity with his time and attention. He made the process a fun learning experience, leaving me both excited and confident in my final decision!
