Tommy is currently taking on private students in Cheltenham, UK. If you would like to study with Tommy please send him an email tommy@tommyscottmusic.com or call 07505 715 857.
Tommy takes on all levels of students from beginner level, but specialises in students who have already developed some facility at their instrument and would like to expand their musical knowledge and jazz piano skills. Tommy has been giving jazz piano lessons for 15 years and has a number of younger and professional level students.
As Tommy wasn’t conservatoire trained himself he doesn’t teach an academic exam-based approach and takes more of a coaching role, helping to guide the students in their practice and become their own teachers. Several of Tommy’s students have gone on to study at major London collages.
If you are keen to expand your improvisational ability and experience the joy of playing jazz at a high level, then studying with Tommy could set you on the right path. tommy@tommyscottmusic.com
Online lessons can be just as effective as in-person lessons, and so anyone in the world is now able to study with Tommy. It is easy to set up and all you need is a computer or laptop with a reasonable quality built-in camera or webcam. Tommy uses Skype or Facetime. Just send Tommy an email with your time zone and availability to set things up. tommy@tommyscottmusic.com
