About

Hi I’m Tim and I would love to work together! I have taught many student from age 4-60+ of all different levels on the piano, guitar, upright and electric bass. I’m grateful for my musical education and I would like to share that with my students. I got my BM (Bachelor of Music) at Oberlin Conservatory and MM at USC. I know every student learns in a different way and I tailor each lesson to that particular student’s learning style.

In addition to teaching I’m also an active performer. I have played at such venues venues such as the Paris Ballroom in Las Vegas the Blue Whale, Catalinas jazz club, and Capitol Records just to name a few. I specialize in jazz, pop, r&b, rock and classical.

Weve been doing virtual lessons and Tim is very knowledgeable, relatable and reasonably priced. My son has really enjoyed his lessons and has learned a great deal in a short time.

Lessons with Tim were always fun and productive. He gave specific suggestions about technique to give me a better sound and he taught me a variety of ways to practice that continue to help me learn and understand jazz standards today. In addition to all of this, Tim is very encouraging and he creates a safe and fun learning environment.

Tim is an incredible teacher.
Learning bass seemed like a challenge, but evolving on bass by being introduced to new concepts is even more challenging. Tim is very patient, easy to understand and very knowledgeable. He is committed as a teacher to see his students succeed, and as his student that is something that helped me keep striving knowing I had that kind of support from my teacher.
Ive learned a lot from my lessons with Tim, I feel I have grown as a bass player and those around me have noticed.
Without hesitance Id recommend Tim to anyone trying to learn bass.

Frequently asked questions

I like to ask the student what there goal is for taking lessons and I like to hear them play something on the instrument. I like to set up a plan and timeline for how they can achieve their goal. I also like to ask the student what type of music they like. Learning music you enjoy listening to is much more fun!

I have 10 years teaching experience and I have taught ages 5-80s. I have taught in elementary, middle and high schools, and colleges. I have helped students apply all-state and college auditions. I also have a Bachelors Degree from Oberlin Conservartoy in Music and I a Masters of Music from USC
