Music Lessons in Eloy, AZ. It's your time.

While I love to perform, one of my greatest passions is teaching! I'm an expert at instilling confidence in my students and assisting those who want to take their playing to the next level. I cater my lessons individually to each of my students and am an excellent problem-solver. Even ONE lesson can make a difference.

Hailing from a musical family, Tim has developed a fine piano teaching studio, traveling to the homes of his students, where they practice and allows a more comfortable learning experience. He also uses remote learning. Tim is a gentle instructor, who tailors each lesson and the materials used per each students, and the lesson includes theory, sight reading, ear training and pieces used for fun and recitals. Tim combines over 25 years of pedagogy, to engage each student to enjoy learning and performing, for a lifetime enjoyment of music. He teaches beginner to adult, all levels and styles, including composition, improvisation, jazz/blues and rock/popular styles

My method is centered around having my students consistently learn new material, while retaining what they have learned. I’m sensitive to making sure they are challenged while also giving them material that will enable them to succeed. I customize each lesson to meet the needs and interests of each student. An example of a 45 minute lesson commonly includes the first 5 minutes being dedicated to checking in on how the practice went, and answering any questions the student may have about the material. Then there would be 15 minutes of review which would consist of finding which parts of the material are most challenging and finding the most effective way for the student to practice those parts and perfect the material. After that, there would be a three minute pause during which the student would listen to the new piece (whether it be material I introduced or material they suggested) so they can write down everything that they enjoyed and perceived about the new piece. Then there ...

I am a creative and innovative instructor who loves helping each student find their voice and pursue their unique interests musically.  I completed my Masters in Music at Northwestern University in 2015, where I sought to create and present exciting multimedia recitals that combined classical music with other art forms. I believe one of the most important things we can do as musicians is connect music to our larger experiences, and, in my lessons, I help students form a strong technical and theoretical foundation as well as connect to the deeper meanings and connections of songs. For the past 3 years, I have taught voice and piano lessons with Flatts and Sharpe Music Company in Chicago and have extensive experience teaching online lessons.

I teach piano in lots of Modern styles (pop, rock, blues, ballads, etc..). Also I teach accompaniment and how to play with a singer or with a band. I teach both academic and by ear too.
