Thomas Tumbach
Thomas Tumbach grew up in the Okanagan Valley and was trained as a classical violin player as a youth. After taking an extended break from training in his late teens, Thomas was lucky to meet several folk musicians in university, who introduced him to many styles of bluegrass, folk rock, jazz and world styles of music and rhythm. These styles of music helped broaden his horizons of the many amazing types of music that he had not been exposed to as a child, and expanded his understanding of improvisation and composition.
Following university, Thomas helped to found the Jam Camp Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping increase access to music for all people, and to inspire families and youth about playing music together. Thomas loves to teach all levels of violin, mandolin, banjo, guitar, voice and composition, in any style of music at Jam Camp.
