TIM! I cannot say enough good things about him! I am so happy with what I've been learning and how I am learning it! Tim really understood my roadblocks and developed a super useful strategy to help me get unstuck. He is so knowledgeable and great at breaking down difficult concepts to where there's HOPE to actually do them! I also have to give a shoutout to everything Tim does for students like me- he writes out the tabs for what we went over in the lesson and gives me a lot of bonus content I can work on throughout the week. I just feel that I get so much out of these lessons and I am so grateful I found Tim! Thank you Tim for everything!!! I'm so happy I can learn from you :)

Hire him!!! I tried music lessons less for my boys with a local teacher before I found Tim. This person was rigid and impersonal. In a one-on-one, in-person guitar lesson, he used a laser pointer during instruction. And any music my boys had the option of playing was predetermined. I pulled them after one lesson. It felt like an extension of school. I decided to try remote to open up my options and get more flexibility as a single parent—with remote learning I wouldn’t have to drive them to lessons. But as someone who had music lessons growing up before the internet, I was skeptical remote learning would work. With Tim, it absolutely worked. He’s a music genius who literally can play just about any instrument. He’s been teaching one of my sons guitar and the other drums for just over a year now. He speaks their language and from the onset, he met them where they are. He asked what music they liked and immediately started working on helping them master songs to which they felt a connection, all while infusing lessons with technique, theory, and fun. I’m blown away at the progress my boys have made in this short amount of time—they’re playing music they love, and Tim’s teaching them to play together. Tim is knowledgeable, flexible, enthusiastic and affordable. I’m amazed at how much he’s taught my boys from the other side of the country, right through an iphone. I’m just waiting to find a hole in my busy schedule so I can start taking lessons from Tim, too! Hire Tim. You can’t go wrong. Your kids will love him.

Tim is a top-tier source of knowledge on the guitar. He has an amazing grasp of both guitar technique as well as music theory. I am thankful he's been able to take me on as a student. 10/10 Would recommend

Tim has been an awesome guitar teacher for our son for the past two years, and he's begun teaching our daughter keyboard recently. He's very detail oriented and he takes the time to plan his lessons carefully according to both our son's and daughter's needs. He's a true professional who cares about his students. We highly recommend him!
