About Tim

I specialize in teaching beginning students of all ages on a variety of instruments. I've been performing for more than 40 years and teaching for more than 20 years. Winner of numerous banjo competitions and also named Teacher Of The Year amoungst a group of 60 teachers. I especially love Appalchian music of the Southern states. In addition to Banjo I have regular students learning Piano, Guitar, Mandolin, Dulcimer, Ukulele and Harmonica. I recieved my undergrad degree in Music Composition from Principia College and have also studied Jazz Theory at the Dick Grove School of Music.

I got my start teaching as people approached me after performaces and began asking for lessons. I gave my first banjo lesson in college.

I began studing music formally at a young age at the Ossining School of Music with Marvin Drucker. I've studied theory from grade school through college and beyond. In the past ten years alone I've delivered more than twenty-thousand lessons on a variety of instruments. I've taught individuals, groups, ensembles and a wide varety of special needs student of all ages. I've produced, recorded, performed and composed music for film and stage. I have publiched several books of Clahammer Banjo Tablature.

About the lesson

Finding a new student's individual learning style is very important. Each student has a wide variety of unique learning skills. Identifying and developing these skills is critical to learning how to play and enjoy making music. I focus on learning songs as soon as possible through the building of physical mechanics of playing an instrument one step at a time. I supplement learning songs with music theary when the interesest emerges. Each student has unique talents and tastes and I really enjoy developing these skills and exploring good music together.

I have worked with students of every age from 5 to 75. I've coached ensembles. I've also worked with a wide variety of disabilites and special needs students. Every student receives a custom, indiviualized approach.

Find a teacher that has broad expeience teaching and playing the style of music that most interests you.

My young stringband ensemble of 12 year-olds performed at a fund raiser at Harvard Stadium in support of returning disabled troops. The kids sang harmonies on a variety of songs as well as pleying bluegrass solos.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
1. How much time can I commit to practicing, listening and learning every day?

2. What are my musical goals? What songs would I like to learn?

3. Would I like to play these songs for my firends or for an audience?
