Thomas with some of his very first students at Columbia College Chicago.

I also initiated our exchange program with the Pop Academy in Mannheim, Germany.

Keyboard Private Lessons

Learn everything
related to
playing the keys

Teaching private lessons in piano and electronic keyboards was my first real teaching gig back at a music school in Germany.
I taught all kinds of piano music, from classical to jazz, latin to pop, and anything in-between, to folks of all ages and levels.

Today I teach mostly contemporary music genres and styles. I am very devoted to educating people in this type of music, which manifests itself in PopJazzKeys.com, a website I created for aspiring pop-jazz pianists and keyboardists, so that they can improve every aspect of their playing better and faster through informative articles, video tutorials, e-courses, and remote lessons.

Lessons in Music Notation & Pop-Jazz Arranging with Finale


Notating music for

rehearsals,
studio sessions,
and music publishing

Are you interested in learning how to notate your music for rehearsal, studio session, and music publishing like a pro?

One of my major income sources is helping music creators and music publishing companies with notating and preparing their music for print, as well as arranging and orchestrating music in a variety of contemporary music genres for any possible instrumentation.

To do all that I use Finale, a professional music notation software by MakeMusic.
I successfully taught music notation and arranging with Finale in my Arranging and Music Production courses at Columbia College Chicago for years.
