Thomas earned his Bachelor’s from the University of Georgia being GACE certified in Voice. Having worked in all facets of voice including theory, IPA, multilanguage singing, as well as many others allowing for a deeper understanding of the growing voice.
Thomas follows the tenet of his previous instructors being “Passion is the path” -Dr. Broughton. Believing that the joy of music is always going to be the purest motivator to not only practice but perform, he emphasizes that ensuring students always want to try and learn is going to be the most effective means of improvement. Not to say that health and a core understanding of the voice as an instrument are not essential but rather that these things allow us to explore our passion deeper and to be better prepared as the voice changes and evolves to be its own unique instrument.

Never one to shy away from the challenge, he considers it a unique opportunity to build confidence and further the passion of singing as students undergo their own changes.
