Tom Aldridge

Music Director

My interest in music started a little later than most and at first on guitar. I never really got very far when I discovered that the piano was more enjoyable (and easier on the finger tips). I pursued piano study for another 10 years until graduating from UD. I picked up trombone in high school, since there was not much need for piano players in the marching band, I continued trombone and played some at UD and in theater bands for a number of years. While at UD, I began to help out on the organ at Holy Trinity and certainly believe that it was an influence upon graduation. Having several choices in different music venues, I chose to make church music my full time profession as organist and choir director at St. Anthony's in Dayton.

Along the way, I somehow got lured into engineering and after a few technical courses, changed careers. After a brief sabbatical from music, I returned on a part-time basis to Holy Trinity, a place I have always considered home. While I continue to work full time in engineering I still enjoy bringing music to life, not only as music, but as an important part of our worship.
