Teacher's studio
I’m a mid-life cellist who just started lessons 10 months ago. Tim is an amazing teacher. Not only is he brilliant, he’s also patient, kind, and supportive. He possesses an ability to find differing ways to explain or demonstrate music theory and concepts to facilitate the student;’s understanding and mastery. I know many of his other students who range in age from little tykes all the way up to oldsters like myself.. He relates wonderfully to all ages and abilities. I’m also always impressed by his vast knowledge of not only music and related topics, but also of history, philosophy, and more. I thoroughly enjoy taking cello lessons from Tim.

Tim is an excellent teacher. Always looked forward to taking my kid there. Let's you work at your own pace while still remaining structure and a little bit of laughter too! Just wonderful all around! You will not be disappointed to receive lessons from someone with so much talent and passion!
