About Tim

I was born in Hertfordshire and began learning the violin at the age of 3 via the Suzuki method. My undergraduate studies took place at Trinity College of Music, studying violin with Nona Liddell MBE and viola with Richard Crabtree.

In 2005 I completed my postgraduate studies at Trinity Laban Conservatoire with professor Ofer Falk. Whilst at Trinity my quartet was awarded the John Barbirolli prize for String Quartet, and I have received masterclasses and coaching from the Brodsky and Wihan Quartets.

As a chamber musician and soloist I have given recitals in venues such as Queen Elizabeth Hall, St. Martin In the Fields, and Burgh House, Hampstead. My string quartet can often be heard in recitals at various venues around London and the South East. I am also in demand as a freelance orchestral player, playing regularly with numerous orchestras in London and around the UK.

About the lesson

I am very devoted to teaching, having 25 years of experience tutoring a wide range of ages and abilities, from young children to adults and from beginners to advanced players. My approach is one of flexibility, taking into account the aims and abilities of each individual and tailoring lessons to suit the student's needs, whether they are preparing for exams, performances or just playing as a hobby. I always strive to make lessons an enjoyable and inspiring experience.

I can prepare students for both ABRSM and Trinity College London graded exams and also offer music theory coaching for students needing to take the ABRSM Grade 5 Theory exam or those studying for GCSE or `A`Level Music.

I also teach improvisation techniques as a doorway into exploring creative playing outside of the traditional classical method of studying. This is integrated into the firm technical foundation of my mainly classical training and can help give learners another dimension to their playing which can enrich and enliven their approach to whatever kind of repertoire they are studying.

I am always eager to share my experience and knowledge with students looking for direction in pursuing a future career in music. Being a performer and teacher has been a positive experience and opened many doors. I want to continue to spread this positivity by sharing my experiences and love of music with my students.

If you are based within about 15 miles / 25 km of my location I can offer you lessons in the comfort of your own home. I also welcome any students who prefer to travel to me for lessons.

*Online Lessons* I can offer you the option of effective online classes no matter where you are based. When the restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic came into place in 2020 I moved all my teaching over to online lessons as in person lessons became unviable in most situations. Since then I have gained a great deal of experience teaching remote classes and I have found them to work very well and be viable even for young children if there is parental supervision. I can accommodate you online via Zoom, Skype or FaceTime for lessons at your convenience if travel is not practical or you simply prefer remote lessons as a safeguard against any risk of Covid transmission.
