Meet Tommy Bush
By combining a passion for music and a "never stop learning" attitude, guitar teacher Tommy Bush provides a unique learning experience for his students. Going that extra mile for his students is not uncommon for Tommy.

Tommy Bush began his music career in 1976 teaching and performing in North East Florida. Tom studied classical and jazz guitar as a teenager and hung out with Lynyrd Skynrd lead guitarist Allan Collins just before the band hit it big in the early 70’s.

Tom studied music theory and business at Jacksonville University graduating cum laude. Other noted jazz educators influencing Tom include Frank Sullivan, Gary Starling, Mike Gerber, Randy Bernsen, Jeff Harrington, and the legendary Charlie Banacos. Tommy is currently studying improvisation and composition with jazz bassist, Jeff Berlin. A quarter decade of teaching experience helped develop Tom’s versatility in approaching any musical situation.

Tommy utilizes studies on standard jazz tunes, major and minor blues, chord tones, chromatic and scale approaches, sequences, intervals, permutations, upper structure triads, and chord substitution. These approaches are applied to what ever style of music the student wishes to endeavor. Tommy teaches at all levels and all ages for those interested in studying music.
