About Thomas

Hey there. My name's Thomas. I've taught voice for nearly twenty years — Dallas, Chicago, and now Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. If you're thinking about voice lessons, I'd love to work with you. Find me in person in West Seattle, Queen Anne, or over Zoom.

Student reviews

"Thomas is charismatic, creative, and thinks outside the box. I was extremely lucky to have him as my first voice teacher when I was a sophomore in high school. Having had no prior experience singing, Thomas taught me not only how to sing with proper technique, but with passion and purpose. He truly cares about his students, and will work tirelessly to help you achieve your goals. He will give you honest feedback and thoughtful advice, and will find the approach that works for you."

"I have been studying with Thomas for two and a half years now after a few years of not singing. He is extremely knowledgeable in vocal pedagogy and a great coach of singing styles and interpretation. One of the methods that helped me the most was to work my middle voice to make the rest easier and free. We worked a lot on my chest register, which I was always skeptical to try as a countertenor. Not only did it give me the strength I needed for my upper register, it also allowed me to expand my vocal range."

"I sing soprano with the Chicago Chorale. My natural tone quality is high, thin and whistly. I was struggling with the range and couldn't produce the volume I wanted so I asked my section who they would recommend for voice lessons. On day one Thomas transformed my whistle. I learned how to adjust my breathing and vocal anatomy to produce a full tone at a much louder dynamic while maintaining an attractive tone quality. After that, the hoarseness and pain in my throat with which I ended every rehearsal went away. Thomas is seriously a miracle worker."
