"I’ve been taking classical guitar lessons with Thomas Coffey at Tampa Guitar Lessons for over 10 years, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience.
What really sets Thomas apart is how flexible and student-focused his teaching style is. He encourages you to study music that you personally find motivating, rather than forcing a rigid, one-size-fits-all curriculum. That makes a huge difference in staying engaged and excited about practicing.
At the same time, he’s very thorough and intentional. He doesn’t rush you from one piece to the next—he really makes sure you reach a solid level of proficiency and understanding before moving on.
Thomas also has an incredible depth of knowledge that’s suitable for complete beginners all the way up to advanced players. On top of that, his guitar composition skills are exceptional—his original works are truly beautiful and show a deep understanding of the instrument and musical expression.
If you’re looking for a classical guitar teacher who’s patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your growth as a musician, I highly recommend Thomas."

"Thomas is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher. I started taking lessons with him recently after playing for many years and he has helped me discover new techniques and music that I would have never found if it wasn't for him. I would recommend Thomas to any beginner or experienced player that is curious about finger style acoustic guitar."

"I have taken guitar lessons from Thomas Coffey for years. He is a fantastic teacher and very well trained in all aspects of guitar but especially classical guitar. He has many students that have become concert performers and in some cases have made it their career. He not only teaches technique, but also music theory and actively composes as well. He is able to teach all levels of players from beginners to experts.
You cannot find a finer classical guitar teacher."

"I have been getting lessons from Tom for a good amount of time now and have given others a try and every time I always decide Tom is better. Just because someone is good at playing guitar doesn't mean they are a good teacher and Tom is great at both. I'm very happy with my progress that he has been a crucial part of, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve there playing."
