He is excited by music, all the different genres, and the ways to play and interpret these styles on guitar. Tom began playing guitar for the same reason most middle schoolers do - to play rock and roll. When he went to Lone Star College to study with Gerald Blakeman, I saw his music world expand. Mr. Blakeman is not only a great guitar player but also a master teacher. Tom inhaled whatever Gerald put in front of him. Tom played in the jazz ensemble and studied difficult classical repertoire with Mr. Blakeman. I have also seen Tom interact with young students. He can be friendly yet discerning in his approach to the child. I believe Tom has the potential to become a master teacher himself. After forty years as a flute teacher, I know it is important to know everything about your instrument; however, a teacher must keep the student engaged during the lesson and that is sometimes the hardest part of the job. Tom has the knowledge, the energy and the personality to be a successful private lesson teacher.
