Tommy Fuller
Certified Professional Music TeacherAbout
| About | I feel that one of my main strengths as a teacher is being able to draw on my real-world experience as an active and practicing musician in a variety of genres. I have taught and continue to teach students of all ages and all abilities from beginner-level, right up to fellow professionals and I always strive to tailor my lessons to the individual. Many of my students, especially mature students, have specific goals in mind when they come to learn; in these cases, we come up with a syllabus together. Every lesson is planned and specifically tailored to them, and work is set at whatever pace suits best. For students who are interested in taking exams, I often recommend the Rockschool exam board (Grades 1-8) and I’m proud to have a 100% pass rate with all my students achieving a Merit or Distinction on their exam.
