I have played guitar for 20 years and have taught guitar to students ages 5 to 55. I graduated from VCU in 2000 with a Jazz Studies Degree where I also learned Classical Style guitar.
After graduating from VCU, I moved to NYC to teach and play and to immerse myself in the music scene there. After many great experiences with gigs in the city and some great students, I came back to Richmond to be closer to family in 2003 and have loved living in Richmond ever since. In Richmond, I have enjoyed teaching and playing around town. I can teach anything from the Blues, Pop, Folk, Rock, Classical, and Jazz.

Hello! I am a young motivated piano teacher living and working in the Richmond area. I have more than 15 years of experience playing piano.

As someone who has had literally hundreds of piano lessons, I can appreciate what makes a lesson "good". I remember as a kid always feeling bad for my friends who dreaded going to their music lessons. I was lucky to have wonderful teachers and enjoy my experience studying and playing music.

As a teacher, I am committed to making sure my students have the same positive experience. I take having a fun seriously with my students whether they are 5 or 50. Playing the piano has way too many benefits to become a chore! I have high expectations for my students and help them reach their goals in a low-key, non-stressful, pleasant environment.

TIM B. was born and raised in South Africa. He published his first song at the age of twelve, demonstrating to those around him that his promising career in the music industry was imminent. He was tutored at a prestigious private music school in Cape Town, South Africa while attending elementary and high school.
