Teaching Background
While Timothy is at the beginning of his career, he has 3 years of teaching experience at the UNT String Project where he has led classes of violin, viola, and cello, teaching beginners to small intermediate orchestras. He has also taught individual violin lessons of varying experience levels to students from toddlers to adults. Yearly recitals were an exciting part of this program that not only showcased the progress of the students but gave them an event which motivated them to spend more time in their craft.
Personality/Teaching Style
High energy and a fun experience are Timothy’s keys to creating successful lessons that engage the students and keep them wanting to progress. Every student is different, which means every lesson will be built around the student’s personality as well as their ability on their instrument. Structuring his lesson plans around the Suzuki method and tailoring techniques to each individual student is Timothy’s way of teaching.
What others are saying about Timothy
Tim is a patient teacher, and he breaks down music really efficiently to make sure that you get the right feel for the piece you are working on. Tim is really good with making sure someone is hitting the right cues and notes. I would definitely recommend Tim for any violin work.
Hannah, Denton, TX
Tim is a fine violinist, a perceptive and effective teacher, and a lovely person. I am his Major Professor at the University of North Texas and have taught him for 4 and a half years. In my Studio Classes I often ask students to critique each other and make suggestions to improve particular points. Tim often comes up with excellent perceptions and ideas. He is personable and makes suggestions in a gentle but firm manner.

Special Skills
Timothy is well educated in teaching full orchestras as well as individual violin. Help with repertoire for solo violin or your orchestra can be part of your lesson! While being a classical musician, Timothy grew up with roots in Rock and Latino music. Connecting your instrument to multiple styles of music is one of the most important things in his life.
