Instructor

Gary M Thofson


I’ve spent decades immersed in the world of music and sound, working with bands, running live sound, and doing studio recording and mixing. I’ve had the chance to work alongside professionals in recording studios and with touring musicians, and I’ve earned a reputation for making things sound great—whether it’s fine-tuning a sound system or helping someone improve their setup in just minutes.

I’m passionate about music and how sound comes together. It’s more than just a job for me—it’s something that inspires and energizes me. I enjoy teaching others and adapting to their learning styles, and I always aim to make the experience both fun and meaningful. Whether it’s guitar, sound mixing, or even graphic design tools I’ve learned over the years, I love sharing what I know and helping others grow.
