"Tim helped me so much when i had a last - minute music competition. I was super stressed but he had everything planned out and stayed optimistic. Even though i've played the saxophone for a while, he still gave me many tips that I will definitely use in the future. He is really amazing and talented at playing and teaching the sax, and I highly recommend him. Can't wait to learn with him again!"

"Tim is a wonderful, skilled and understanding teacher. He has connected very well with my 10yo son, first year band student. His instructions are clear and articulate, he keeps good notes on the lessons and provides follow up content for my child to review so that he is able to progress week to week. Highly recommend practicing Sax with Mr. Tim!"
