Master of music in Jazz Guitar

    Get your fundamentals together, or get ready for your music theory test, in a fun and clear way!

    I'll teach you essential "meat and potato" music theory that will quickly help you understand music on a deeper level, and get you closer to understanding why the music you love works. I prefer to teach harmonic concepts through well known songs that illustrate the concept. I can help you prep for any test/college audition test coming up as well. NOTE: I do not teach intermediate/advanced level classical theory.

    I'm a professional guitar player from Norway living in NYC, and a graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music and Manhattan School of Music. I have toured in the US, Europe, and Asia, and have played some of New York's most famous jazz rooms like Smalls, 55 Bar, and Dizzy's club at the Lincoln Center, and other notable east coast venues like the Side Door, Scullers, Regattabar and South Jazz Kitchen. I am comfortable showing you the ropes for any style you enjoy within contemporary music, such as rock, pop and jazz. I have won several notable awards and scholarships for my playing and writing, including the notable Berklee Jimi Hendrix award. I am excited to be working with you, and help you reach your goals no matter your level! Feel free to visit my website or YouTube channel for more info, reviews, and videos.

    Tim is an amazing teacher! I recently started playing guitar and Tim has helped me improve with each lesson. He is kind, understanding, patient, and knowledgable. Tim teaches students of all levels. If you do well in your lesson, he might even treat you to a homemade Norwegian cat cookie:)
