Hi, I’m Thomas John McGlinchey, but I go by T.J. I’m a dedicated music educator and songwriter with over two decades of teaching experience across elementary, middle, and private settings, plus community programs. I design engaging, evidence-based curricula that foster emotional connection, creativity, and technical growth in students. I’m passionate about helping learners find their voice through hands-on learning, ensemble participation, and interactive music-making. Beyond the classroom, I pursue songwriting and composition, and I love mentoring students in expressive musical storytelling. I earned an MFA and MAE to deepen my craft and pedagogy, and I’m committed to making music education accessible, joyful, and meaningful for learners of all ages.…Hi, I’m Thomas John McGlinchey, but I go by T.J.
