Tom Johns - Guitar Lessons in Bromley

Perhaps more importantly he is really patient and able to develop your skill set
Tom's teaching style has increased my confidence and renewed my interest in playing. The hour lesson flies by and I go home having increased my musical knowledge and learnt a lot of new techniques.

In September 2017 I decided to do something brave and just for myself. I rang Tom and asked for a taster lesson.

A few months in, having started with with little more than my love for music, not only am I seeing songs come together but I am also enjoying music at a level I never thought possible. I am starting to make music!

Working an at times very stressful and taxing job, my fortnightly lessons with Tom keep me going. Practicing making music after a particularly hard day has become a wonderful habit and way of stress relief - a thing that makes me happy. And we should all do more of the things that make us happy.

In his little studio, Tom tailors his lessons to your individual preferences and style and finds just the right songs for you (whoddathunk I'd ever enjoy REM this much!).
I get frustrated very easily but Tom is such a patient, natural teacher, he never once made me feel I couldn't get where I wanted to be with a little more practice, in my own time, don't worry about it! Together we work on my weaknesses until they suddenly disappear without me even noticing. His encouragement, understanding and upbeat nature make me feel safe and I am learning that maybe it's okay to suck a little - at first - and keep going. And maybe, just maybe, I suck a little less than I think I do.

I would highly recommend Tom's lessons to anyone feeling a little self-conscious about themselves like I do. Starting to take guitar lessons in my mid-thirties (I never even learned how to play the recorder in school) felt daunting at first but it's one of the best decisions I have made and Tom's lessons play a big role in that.

I used to play the guitar many years ago and decided that I would like to take time out and allow myself to do something creative, so I took up the guitar again. I am so glad I met up with Tom who has been the ideal teacher for me. He has a knack of being able to assess what you are doing and offer helpful hints to take you one step further, without undermining your confidence. Excellent at incorporating the songs that you like to listen to, into the lessons-and a thoroughly nice chap! More...

I've been getting lessons off Tom for about 5 months now. With no previous experience Tom taught me in a relatively short time the theory and practical elements of learning guitar.

A fantastic teacher who picks up on what music you would like to play and helps you along. He breaks it down as simple as you need it to be until you get it and start learning each song.

Would recommend Tom 5 stars. More...

Tom has been teaching my 6 year old son for almost a year. My son is fanatical about music and Tom taps into this and plans each lesson around Teds love of music and bands. This in turn makes Ted eager to learn and progress comes naturally. I feel like we've stumbled across a true gem! Thanks Tom More...

Really enjoying my lessons with Tom. I'm a few months in, started with no experience & feel happy to entertain some friends/family with a few songs. The sessions are structured & also very enjoyable. If I hear a song I'd like to try Tom breaks it down simply and usually within a few days I'm able to somewhat replicate it.Overall an awesome guy to learn from. Very patient & a natural teacher. I can't recommend him enough, in fact I have already to some friends and family! More...

Tom taught me anything I wanted to learn: bass, acoustic guitar and electric. Every lesson I could say a song I wanted to learn and even if he didn't know the song, he would be able to figure it out in seconds and give me a fun an engaging lesson from it. I have learnt so much since being taught by him. The best part is you get to go at your own pace. I have improved immensely over the past months! More...

Tom is a very clever and enthusiastic teacher. He is able to pick the reason behind mistakes and tailors the lesson to the student’s objectives. He’s brilliant!

For someone that spent 4 years struggling with you tube videos and countless books from Amazon I feel qualified to advise not going down that route if you want to learn to play the guitar properly anytime soon. Signing up with Tom was the best thing I've done to try to forefill my dream of playing in a band. Whilst I have a long way to go Tom is the person who is going to get me there quicker than anything I could do by going alone. Tom has a nice, relaxed style making you feel instantly at ease with any feelings of inadequacy you may have. Every time I leave a lesson I always feel inspired and motivated to put the hours of practice in until the next one. So if you are thinking of signing up with Tom then my advice is don't hesitate, just do it. You won't regret it. More...

Great teacher and gave me the confidence to play my first gig after only playing guitar for a few months. Would definitely recommend. 5/5

Tom has been teaching me for a few months now and I'm delighted with the results. He listened carefully to my reasons for wanting to learn the guitar and has structured our sessions against those original objectives. As a result the lessons have been hugely enjoyable and informative, and I've picked up a new hobby in my thirties! More...
