Music Education:
“Tom has been a huge help to my brother Gregory Ladd. He is invaluable as a teacher. He listens, is calm and so thoughtful. Quite honestly I don’t know what we would have done without him. My brothers life revolves around music, he is quite autistic and we needed a teacher who was calm and patient. We hit gold when we found Tom. Thank you for everything Tom. You are the best teacher we have ever had. Greg has such fun in his lessons with you. Amazing teacher.” – Tamar Groeneveld, sister of Music Production student Gregory
“My son really enjoyed learning how to play the guitar. Tom was very helpful as communication is very important for us because my son is hearing impaired and wears hearing aids and has cochlear implants. He updated me on everything I needed to know I was happy with my son’s progress. I would really recommend him as a great teacher” – Munna Husain, Mother of student taught at Heathlands School for Deaf Children
‘In just a few lessons Tom was able to take me through the basics of using music editing software (or DAW), applying effective drum beats and guitar effects for my songs and even applying advanced techniques such as audio panning and equalising. I have now recorded three of my own songs at home and am looking forward to doing more recording and lessons with Tom to improve my capability.’ – Steve Allen, music production and guitar student
“Tom has worked at Heathlands School delivering guitar tuition for several years to our profoundly Deaf students who use BSL as their first language. Not only does he use British Sign Language himself but he has transformed the delivery of guitar lessons to be visual and accessible for all of our pupils. He is always thinking outside the box of other techniques to try and provides a bespoke method for each pupil he works with. I would highly recommend Tom to any Deaf child wishing to learn guitar!” – Lesley Reeves Costi, Co-Headteacher, Heathlands School for Deaf Children
‘Tom has worked with two of our autistic young people and has been very successful. He has an innate ability to tailor his teaching to the individual which has resulted in both boys progressing at a very rapid rate. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Tom’s services to any head teacher.’ – Trevor Orchard, Head Teacher, Roman Fields School, Hemel Hempstead
“Tom is a wonderful teacher for our 9 year old son who has been learning from Tom for almost a year now. He is so encouraging, kind and welcoming and always lets us know how he’s getting on. Would highly recommend him to budding guitarists.”
– Melissa Morrissey, mother of guitar student
‘I have been taking lessons from Tom for a couple of months and I have noticed a huge difference in my technical ability, I now have a good grasp of basic theory and look forward to my lessons.’ – Adam Chiu, guitar student
‘Tom was very engaging and knowledgeable about the subject. He was very helpful and gave a good explanation, whilst clearly demonstrating step by step what we had to do. He made this workshop fun and enjoyable for my daughter and I as well as everyone else’ – Rukhsana Saghir, participant in ‘The Paper Orchestra’ composition workshop
