Introduction: What do you want to accomplish? I have a longstanding record of helping people achieve their musical goals whether professional or amateur. I've greatly enjoyed seeing them accomplish their goals and grow in other areas of their lives too! My strong experience and credentials make this possible. I have earned three degrees in music and music education and taught music for over 30 years. I have studied not only music performance but also teaching methodology and have trained highly successful music teachers. As a result, I am able to draw from a great deal of knowledge and experience to help my students. I love helping students grow and succeed as musicians and people.

Skeptical about doing voice lessons online, especially as a complete beginner, but Dr.T has put those doubts to rest! After being with him for a few months I noticed significant improvements with his techniques and exercises that continue to help me as I try and get better. He is also a great person to talk with and he cares about you as person, remembering the little details. Even after not being able to do more lessons he still reaches out. Give him a try!

Dr. T has been teaching my daughter guitar for about a year and we are very happy with him. He’s the second teacher that we’ve had and the difference is night and day. Dr. T is incredibly patient but also very professional. It took some time for my daughter to appreciate the relationship between practice and improvement, but Dr. T coached her through the process and she now enjoys it much more and is improving rapidly. He records the zoom sessions and sends a detailed email after every lesson so we know what was covered and what to practice for the next week. We really appreciate all the time that he puts in and have seen the results in her playing ability. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. T to anyone interested in any musical pursuits.

Dr T is an incredible person and teacher. I’ve never taken singing lessons and had to get ready to serenade my wife the night before our wedding. He put in extra time to make sure that I was ready. I appreciate his emphasis on technique, and plan on working with him for years to come
