Music education

“Perfect! Tim was way above the normal in terms of being a great teacher. He is amazing, I can’t say enough good things about his approach and knowledge of guitar. It is such a pleasure to interact with him. He makes it really easy to keep your practice going. A real musician and gentleman.” - Brennon

“Tim is a versatile and talented musician and his approach to theory tutoring is personal, joyful and focused on building a strong conceptual foundation. His guidance is patient, understanding and he's interested in me as a student, performer, and person. Additionally Tim is flexible with his time and always accommodating. He kept me motivated throughout my time studying. I recommend Tim to anyone looking to improve their musical skills.” - Hannah
