About
Multi-instrumentalist || Music Producer || Recording & Mixing Engineer || Private Guitar Instructor || Guitarist, bassist and songwriter for indie pop band Sunbathers || Guitarist for Boate & Ajluni Duo || I approach guitar lessons in a different way than most teachers. Having now taught more than 4,000 guitar lessons to over 200 different students, I have developed a unique style of explaining and demonstrating playing technique and music theory that is effective for a wide range of experience levels and musical styles. I am not looking to force anything on my students. Instead, I find out what they actually want to learn, what types of music they like, and what their goals are. Then I create a series of custom lessons that allow them to quickly learn or improve their skills on the guitar. In addition to teaching guitar, I also offer a full range of audio recording, editing, mixing and mastering services, as well as teaching recording and producing using Logic Pro/GarageBand software. Playing music has been a lifelong passion of mine. Having spent thousands of hours honing my skills on the guitar and recording/mixing techniques, I find it very rewarding to share the knowledge I have built with others, and to allow them to find the same enjoyment with music as I do.

Tim produced my album (10 songs) and did a fantastic job. His music knowledge was incredible and valuable in enhancing the songs I wrote into fully realized productions. My friends were all impressed with the sound quality. He added lead guitar parts that fit the metal genre and expertly recorded them. He also listened to my feedback and gave me control of my own album.

I’ve been taking lessons with Tim for almost a year now. I’ve been playing for a few years and hit a road block in my playing and needed an instructor to help me get through it. When I reached out to Tim I was interested in expanding my knowledge with guitar as well as recording and mixing. Within a few weeks with Tim I was able to get over that road block as he showed me a lot of new things with music theory, chord shapes, scales, techniques, etc. Once I had a better understanding of music theory we began recording and producing guitar pieces in Logic Pro in his studio. Tim showed me new techniques when recording guitar to make the production sound full and professional. Even when we’re just working on recording, I still learn new things on the guitar as well. Tim is a very knowledgeable musician and music producer. He’s patient and willing to go at the pace you need. He’s also very flexible with scheduling and rescheduling sessions. I’d recommend Tim to anyone that is either learning to play for the first time or trying to grow from where they are.

Tim is an excellent teacher! He focuses on the music I want to learn, and in only one month I am already playing guitar at parties with friends, singing my favorite songs! I think it is very helpful that he takes the time to summarize the things learned after each lesson and sends me by email the summary with the exercises I can practice. He is very flexible, which helps because I have an erratic schedule. And on top of this, his lessons are fun! So I look forward to them every week. :)
