“Tim has been our most excellent piano teacher for 7 years now:
equally adept at enthusing beginners and inspiring advanced
students, most recently helping our daughter achieve Grade 7 Distinction.
He can also teach music theory, flute and guitar, so an all-rounder!
We highly recommend Tim: both for his music expertise and for his
sympathetic, fun manner which results in students enjoying their
lessons and wanting to achieve.”

“My three daughters have been having piano lessons with Tim since
Sept 2020 via Zoom. I was a little sceptical about how remote lessons
would work, however we’ve found them to be incredibly effective and
have enabled lessons to continue over the past year. My girls previously had
face-to-face lessons and had achieved grades 4, 3 and 1 respectively.
Since having lessons with Tim they have all passed their next grade
with fantastic results and are well on the way to sitting the next exams.
Tim is a fabulous teacher – an incredibly talented musician who always
recognises their achievements and struggles, has a great teaching style
and my girls thoroughly enjoy their lessons. ”

“Tim accompanies The Stray Singers community
choir in Harrogate, deputising rehearsals when needed.
Tim is a fabulous musician and accompanist, understanding
the need to adjust his playing to bring out the best
in the choir. When Tim leads rehearsals, he does so with
humour and encouragement, sharing his strong musical
and vocal knowledge.”
