About Tim O.

(9)

Hello, and thank you for visiting my page. I'm Tim & I've been teaching professionally since 2007. I attended Purdue University, Paradise Valley Community College & ASU for undergraduate. I studied music and rhythm extensively in these years and ultimately graduated with a degree in anthropology, specializing in ethnomusiciology. During these years I marched with DCI/WGI groups, PIONEER, and studied under many notable teachers. My career in teaching came in 2007 at a family owned music store in Lowell, IN, teaching local youth, and I have undoubtedly taught ever since. I have been gigging in bands consistently since age 14 & am currently releasing a solo album of my own, written as film score compositions. My curriculum has to be successful time after time to myself and students; I am confident we will find a relationship that suites your goals! Playing music is my talent - TEACHING is my PASSION. * Specialties * Drum Set - ANY style or genre. I can even prepare advanced students the tools to teach. Rudimental marching percussion, i.e., Snare, Tenor, Bass drums, pit etc. HAND DRUMS & WORLD PERCUSSION

He is on of the funniest guys I have ever met! He is very caring and wants his students to prevail. He makes me want to go higher then I have ever thought of going in the music career! He makes me feel like I can be one of the biggest drummers ever. He may be my instructor and I, the student, but he is my friend. One of my greatest friends! And if I make it to the big leagues. I'll be thinking of him and thanking him for everything he has given me! And I'll Remember where I started... in the small reaching room in Gutiar Center with two drum kits and a white board (plus some cool posters).
