About Me
Passionate about jazz with eclectic influences, Tommy Scott forges his musical identity between classical tradition and modernity. Born in the Welsh mountains and trained in the prestigious Cotswold Hills, he has developed a unique piano style that elegantly blends jazz, classical, rock, blues and Latin rhythms.

Recognized as a prodigy from a young age, his exceptional career began at the age of 13 when legendary American pianist Joey Calderazzo invited him to join his band. This decisive encounter opened the doors to privileged training with British virtuoso Jason Rebello (Sting, Jeff Beck), and allowed him to perform at the Cheltenham International Jazz Festival at the age of 16.

Now based in Paris, Tommy performs alongside renowned artists from the European and New York scene. His delicate touch and musical sensitivity make him a particularly sought-after accompanist for singers. In addition to Paris, he has performed in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Athens and Rome.
Education
His journey led him to meet the greatest names in jazz: Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ray Brown, Cedar Walton, Roy Haynes and Elvin Jones.

His thirst for knowledge earned him an invitation to study at the New England Conservatory in Boston.
Experience / Qualifications
Tommy is a bandleader who has built a reputation for his compelling and dynamic performances. He is also an artist and composer and is currently working on his second album as a leader.

I offer saxophone lessons to beginner saxophonists and to already experienced saxophonists.
I also give lessons in improvisation, theory, harmony, music theory and composition.
In short, everything you need to play and improvise in the style of jazz.
During improvisation classes in my music studio, I use accompaniment instead of a jazz rhythm section (piano, bass, and drums). This effectively prepares students for playing in a real band later on.

In addition to saxophone lessons, I can give piano lessons as a second instrument for saxophonists, which is essential in order to understand and hear harmony.
I give lessons at home in Paris in the 16th arrondissement between the Iéna (line 9) and Boissière (line 6) metro stations.
For students who are unable to attend classes in person, I can provide video lessons via WhatsApp.
My job as a teacher is declared. Students can obtain invoices.
I accept students with irregular schedules and availability.
