About ThomaStudios
![]()
ThomaStudios was established in January, 1987 by J D Thomas, a working keyboardist/composer/arranger/orchestrator and teacher living in Los Angeles CA. Starting out primarily as a location for myriad writing jobs, rehearsing, and other musical endeavors, it steadily grew. In 1989, with the advent of personal computers, primarily Macs, ThomaStudios marched into the digital era. The usual pencil-and-paper writing tasks were replaced by computers where edits, rewrites, copywork, and composition to picture for television and film became far more flexible, convenient, and fast. In deadline-oriented LA, this was essential.
Throughout the 90's, ThomaStudios stayed involved in a variety of musical projects, from live performances to work in TV and film.
ThomaStudios relocated to West Linn OR in 2001.
Even before the beginning in 1987, private instruction was a mainstay activity. That continues to the present day.
