Here are just a few reasons why I appreciate him and drive out an hour each way to see him every week:<\/p><p>\u2013 He is a patient mentor who is experienced teaching students of all ages.\u00a0 I think since he works with very young children, he is also able to clearly communicate and demonstrate concepts and techniques to older students like me.<\/p><p>\u2013 One of the things I appreciate most about Tommy is that he is passionate about teaching.\u00a0 I can see it when he is genuinely excited whenever I learn a new concept or technique.\u00a0 As talented as he is, Tommy continues to learn, taking lessons and music writing classes.\u00a0 As a teacher myself, I really appreciate that and believe that is a mark of a great instructor, someone who keeps learning and growing as well.<\/p><p>\u2013 Tommy is always thinking of creative ways to help me improve, whether it\u2019s by pulling the right exercise from his extensive library, or by incorporating various media.\u00a0 He uses technology effectively.\u00a0 In some cases when he didn\u2019t have the perfect exercise, Tommy took the extra time during the week to write one out for me on the computer!<\/p><p>\u2013 He is multi-talented, constantly gigs, works as a drummer, band director, and is a composer.\u00a0 I definitely want a teacher who is actively working as a musician so he can\u2019t be complacent about his own practice and improvement.\u00a0 His other experience adds valuable insight on how to play drums effectively in different situations.<\/p><p>\u2013 Tommy is dedicated to challenging and growing his students.\u00a0 He even once told me he thinks about each of his students before he goes to sleep at night!<\/p><p>\u2013 Tommy is also an all around great guy.\u00a0 He is humble, honest and vulnerable about his own struggles in how he became a professional musician.\u00a0 The other week he was giving me advice on how to push through failures and improve by taking risks.<\/p><p>\u2013 Last but not least, he is very responsible with scheduling. Tommy is a great role model who loves percussion and teaching.\u00a0 I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to make the worthwhile investment in drum lessons.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1482\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Valorie<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1482\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1482\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cTommy is an excellent teacher and an amazing musician. His is my 6 year old daughter\u2019s 2nd piano teacher \/ 1st drum teacher. He\u2019s not just teaching her music skills, but also how to LOVE music, RESPECT instruments and ENJOY learning. For a musician, Tommy is very down-to-earth and makes you feel comfortable immediately. He\u2019s also very organized with lesson plans and scheduling. His teaching style is very detail oriented. I appreciated that no matter how many keys my daughter plays wrong, Tommy never discourages her. He will let her know the parts she did right, and helps her work on the parts she did wrong. He always encourages her to work harder, helps her with her musical confidence, and challenges her to learn more. He\u2019s super enthusiastic about drumming and piano and makes lessons a joy to take for me and my 6 year old. I can\u2019t recommend him enough; he is a great educator, respectful, fun, well dressed and honest person.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1483\" aria-expanded=\"false\">John<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1483\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1483\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>\u201cMy son studied the snare, drum set, and other percussion instruments under Tommy Goddard for almost 5 years. Tommy is a caring teacher, mentor, and coach as well as a consummate professional who helped my son realize his true potential. My son is currently 1st snare in his high school marching band, the lead drummer in the high school jazz band, and has received \u201cSuperior\u201d ratings at state competitions 3 of the last 4 years. I believe a good part of my son\u2019s success stems from the solid foundation he built studying under Tommy Goddard. According to my son, \u2018Tommy is just a quality guy.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1484\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Kawehi<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1484\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1484\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>\u201cFor the past 3 years, my son has taken drumming and piano lessons from Tommy. He took the time to know my son and personalized lessons to meet his needs. Tommy\u2019s patience, great sense of humor, and high expectations allowed my son to build confiendnce in himself and his potential skills. I appreciated his flexibility and open communication to facilitate my son\u2019s lesson for the best outcome.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calvin Valorie John Kawehi Calvin \u201cTommy is an amazing teacher and it has been a blessing to learn from him<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.TommyGoddardMusic.com\/?page_id=3284\" class=\"readmore\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Reviews<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P2GZWf-QY","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.TommyGoddardMusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3284"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.TommyGoddardMusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.TommyGoddardMusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.TommyGoddardMusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.TommyGoddardMusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.TommyGoddardMusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3284\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.TommyGoddardMusic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
