Hi, I'm Tim, your piano teacher

I teach students from early elementary kids to older adults. With over a decade of formal classical training, I'm passionate about sharing that knowledge to help my students build a strong foundation in technique and theory. As a versatile musician, I've also released two piano albums, played for numerous weddings, and been a part of my church worship band for over 15 years.

My teaching style is fun and relaxed, and I tailor lessons to your individual goals and interests. Whether you want to play classical pieces or pop songs, learn to write your own songs, or just take on a new hobby, I'm here to help you achieve that goal.
