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 B.

“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 S.

“My son recently took guitar lessons from Tim, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Tim is extremely knowledgeable and has a great way of making lessons easy to understand. My son, who was fairly new to guitar, learned quickly thanks to Tim’s patient and clear teaching style. He made sure the lessons were fun and engaging, balancing technical skills with songs my son wanted to play. He’s great at explaining things in a way that kids can grasp, and I could see my son’s confidence and skills grow each week. In fact, my son felt so inspired by Tim that he’s now going to music school for further studies. I highly recommend Tim for anyone looking for a skilled and approachable guitar teacher.” - Karin M.
