I want to share with you the skills it takes to play a simple song the very first lesson! We can then take it from there down any of the wonderful musical paths you choose, from playing for your own enjoyment, for your friends & family, all the way up to a crowd of thousands! I can show you how & why music works in an easy to understand way, & make it possible for you to continue on your own musical journey well equipped. I have taught all ages & styles of music on many instruments for many decades & never tire of sharing the joy of playing & understanding a musical instrument.

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.

I would consider myself a lifelong student of the humanities. I have been in continuous study of piano, voice and the performing arts since I was 4 years old. Growing up in a very musically enthusiastic house I had all the support from the beginning with my endeavors. During my years at Emory & Henry College I studied all aspects of the arts while achieving a degree in Musical Theatre. I have had the privilege to be able to perform for President Bill Clinton, Pope John Paul II, and many Broadway stars such as Evalyn Baron (Les Miserables) and director John Giampetro. I have also traveled to South Korea where I spent about 15 months teaching English, theatre and music to a vast amount of students ranging from the age of 3 to 50+. In my post undergraduate studies I have partaken in conservatory classes at the Shakespeare Theatre and Studio Theatre in Washington, D.C. Currently I sing bass in a quintet named Cornerstone where we sing everything from secular to barbershop. We are based...

Music has been an integral part of my world, playing a major role in both my personal and professional life. I embrace the chance to be immersed in it, to share my enthusiasm for and expertise in the area of the music education experience, promoting creative development and student performance skills.

I am an original New Yorker, but have lived in Virginia Beach for the past 12 years. I began studying piano at the age of 8 and have not stopped playing since. It is a gift and a joy to be able to share my love of music performance with people of all ages and abilities. I have also sung in many choirs in addition to performing professionally on the piano and the guitar, both as a soloist and ensemble member.

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.

In Richmond, I have enjoyed teaching and playing around town. I can teach anything from the Blues, Pop, Folk, Rock, Classical, and Jazz.

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. The latter part of high school saw the end of the apartheid years in South Africa, and for the first time in 40 years, South Africans were allowed into international competition.
