Introduction: Timmy is a professional multi-instrumentalist, composer, teacher, and software engineer. He holds a master’s degree in performance from Ball State University. As a teacher, he has been involved with many school districts as a weekly sectional coach and private lesson teacher. As an orchestral musician, he has played for the Danville Symphony Orchestra, Muncie Symphony Orchestra, Kokomo Symphony Orchestra, and has served as concertmaster for the Hendricks Symphony Orchestra and Fishers Chamber Orchestra. He also performs a wide variety of music such as traditional Irish with the Indianapolis Ceili Band. Lessons with Timmy take a holistic approach to learning an instrument, touching on history, theory, playing by ear, composition, and improvisation. His teaching method goes beyond just learning concepts, to applying them across music practices both traditional and contemporary. His teaching includes a foundational instrumental technique and ability applied to standard repertoire and original compositions, sometimes by the students themselves.

Timothy was my violin instructor as I started off with lessons as an adult in my 30s. I really enjoyed working with him, as he made me feel comfortable while learning. Although he works will all ages, he was able to take the material and make it consumable and rewarding even as an adult student. Overall coming from an adult student with minimal music theory and new to the violin. I could not recommend Timothy enough for any age looking to learn or improve technique.

My eleven year old son, who is new to violin, started lessons with Timothy on the first of January. We drive over an hour for lessons, aND it is worth every minute!!! My son loves classical music theory and history, and Timothy has personalized his lessons to teach this and provide a well rounded experience. He is very current, plays multiple string instruments, and is engaged within the music community. He is the perfect fit for our team!
