Tom Kelly Guitar Instructor

Meet Your Instructor

My name is Tom Kelly and I am a multi-instrumentalist music teacher based in Tampa, Florida.  I have 23 years of playing experience and 10 years of teaching experience. I enjoy using my skills to contribute to my student’s musical, personal, and professional development. In the course of my experience as an instructor, I have had the honor of witnessing my students achieve amazing goals like starting and performing with their own original band, learning to write and produce their own music, and even performing a televised audition on American Idol! I offer 30 and 60 minute one-on-one lessons for a variety of instruments both online and in my home studio located in the University area of Tampa.

“Tom Kelly is the best teacher and mentor I could ask for. Not only is he remarkably knowledgeable in all elements of music -- from drums to guitar to vocals to music production -- but his belief in his students and the time and energy he invests in them is a testament to his kindness and passion for music and helping others grow. I cannot recommend Tom enough and his mentorship and teachings have altered the course of my life in the most positive way, encouraging me to pursue music full time and believe in myself. I would not be the person I am today without Tom's mentorship and I recommend him to anyone wanting to learn music for fun or take their music to the next level.”

-Danielle Allen

“Tom is a great teacher! I take voice and guitar lessons and he encourages me to find my voice and playing style. My confidence with my singing is through the roof because of honest feedback as to how i can improve where needed when regarding a song. Anyone choosing to use Tom for lessons will become very knowledgeable of their instrument and their own strengths.”
