Introduction: *****Due to Covid-19, Tim has moved his studio online through Zoom or FaceTime. He is still currently accepting new students, so If you are interested feel free to reach out ***** About me: Hi! I am an experienced private piano, saxophone, flute and clarinet teacher and performer. I have been in NYC almost 3 years, and before that I lived in the LA area, where I held a private studio for several years. I earned my Bachelor of Music at the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at CSULB in Music Performance, and my Master of Music at New York University in Music Performance. During my two years at NYU I was an Adjunct Instructor, and taught a private studio of undergraduate music minors. In 2017 I was honored to take 1st place in Vandoren’s Emerging Artist Competition in the jazz category. With this prize I traveled to Paris, France and was invited to be a guest soloist with the Jazz Band of America at the Music For All Convention in Indianapolis. Since relocating to NYC I have had an active performance schedule, and had the opportunity to learn from some of the finest musicians in the business. Teaching Methodology: I have an all-encompassing method of teaching music, that involves comprehensive study in the pillars of music: melody, harmony, and rhythm. My method is highly individualized to each student’s needs, and caters to their own strengths and weaknesses. My areas of focus are musicianship, music theory, composition, singing, improvisation, sight-reading, and getting students to “feel” the rhythm of music using small drums.

I feel very lucky to work with Tim as my private saxophone instructor. He a warm and sweet guy, but also has his own strong process of teaching lessons. He is passionate and knows what exactly I need to be working on. Most importantly, I’m having so much fun.
