"Tommy is an excellent teacher! My daughter has been attending guitar lessons for over 2 months and has made rapid growth. Tommy is patient and provides great practice material for my 10yr old to do at home. He is honest and very reasonably priced for guitar lessons. Highly, highly recommend!!!"

"If you want to greatly improve your playing skills, or if you are a beginner just learning to play, Peoria Guitar School is the place to go. Tommy is very effective at developing unique lesson plans that fit each individual's style of learning, combined with their musical tastes. He reinforces the fundamentals while having you try various techniques to enhance efficient individual learning. His studio is well equipped and he is very flexible on scheduling.    


Before I started taking lessons with Tommy, the fret-board used to be very intimidating to me. Now, after just a couple months of lessons, I am much more comfortable and having a fantastic time playing rather than overthinking it.


Peoria Guitar School is highly recommended!

“It is a great experience learning guitar from an experienced and knowledgeable guitarist. There are several impressive features in taking lessons from Tommy. He accurately evaluates where you are in your current knowledge and understanding and then starts from there. I have played off and on throughout my life. After retiring I went back to playing my Gibson Hummingbird and then realized I missed having an electric guitar. I got a Les Paul and really enjoyed it, but realized I was stuck in my limited knowledge and skill. Last fall I got a flyer regarding the Peoria Guitar School and decided I would finally do guitar lessons again. At 70 I started again with Tommy in January of this year. I have been able to get the basic theory, skill, and motivation to enjoy playing again. Tommy has a kind gentle teaching style that includes learning new material and developing your playing techniques that motivates you to want more and progress. I highly recommend him as a teacher/mentor regardless if you are a beginner or an advanced experienced guitarist. Thanks for your help Tommy.”
