about
Tom Brooks
instructor of
Guitar
Tom Brooks hopes to help his students make progress towards their individual goals on the instrument through learning songs (tablature and standard notation), sight reading, technical studies, and music theory. Since everyone has a different learning style and speed, each lesson is tailored towards the student as much as possible. Student input is valued when it comes to choosing lesson material, but necessary topics will be covered too. Tom teaches on both electric and acoustic guitar in a variety of contemporary styles.
Tom attended McNally Smith College of Music and received his Bachelor of Music in Guitar Performance in 2010. He has taught private guitar lessons in the Twin Cities since 2011. He has released albums and performed with VGM band Do a Barrel Roll! (2012-present) and instrumental group The Brains Of This Operation? (2012-2013).
