About TIM
Hi, my name is Tim and I’ve been playing music since the age of age of 7. I was taught the cornet throughout my school years and later in adulthood by the late James Shepherd who is widely regarded as one of the greatest cornet players of all time. I also learnt to play piano whilst at school and quickly progressed to grade 5 within a year earning a pass with merit and grade 5 theory with distinction. After school I studied at Dartington College of Arts in the mid 1990’s gaining a hugely varied experience performing and composing in rock, pop, jazz and classical ensembles and acquired a Diploma in Music. More recently I played Principal Cornet with the Diggle Brass Band in the first section in the years 2009 - 2012 gaining considerable experience as a soloist as well as performing at Championship level in other bands such the Yorkshire Building Society and Drighlington Brass Bands. After a break from regular performance owing to becoming a father, I am now playing both instruments again and teaching piano regularly. I have also recently gained ABRSM piano grade 8 with Merit and grade 7 piano practical with distinction. I really enjoy teaching, particularly when the seemingly impossible becomes possible through structured and regular practice and supporting students so they too can get to experience the joy of being able play music. I have an Enhanced DBS Certificate viewable on request.

Hello and thanks for reading! I am a very patient teacher and tailor my approach to each student. Generally speaking though I introduce concepts/techniques gradually over time and use duets, improvisation, games and playing by rote (memorising based on repetition) to help ensure that learning is fun from the outset. For young learners I encourage parents to take an active interest in the lesson so they can support their children with home playing/practice.

I teach a family member of Tim and we share ideas for professional development..
Tim is experienced in a broad range of music, an accomplished brass player and very strong across all piano styles. He is thoughtful about good teaching practice and is very personable.
Louise Jones, fellow tutor, SkiptonI’ve been his student for three months and I already feel like I’ve improved in my playing so much! His teaching style is much better and more helpful than any other teacher I’ve had before. I’ve found that having lessons with him outside of school is much better and less intrusive to school life, and can help if you’re looking to learn piano at a higher level. Although, if you’re just getting started with piano, I’d still recommend him for his friendly and supportive teaching.
