Tim is a versatile double bass tutor and player of the instrument. He has an incredible understanding of the double bass in terms of theory, jazz theory and jazz improvisation.
I reccomend Tim as a tutor simply because of his skills, knowledge and understanding of differentiate the task to enabled double bass student like myself to develop professionally within a short period of time both in soloing and walking bass lines.Tim is an incredible teacher. He is everything a student could want; an incredible double bass player, great listener, kind, calm and knowledgeable. If you’re looking for a bass teacher look no further!
He is great at explaining and teaching how a jazz standard is composed and played. As well as explaining its historical significance and place in jazz history.
I have been taking double bass lessons with TIm for about 5/6 years.
I would highly recommend Tim as a teacher, he is incredibly competent and knowledgeable, both on the instrument and on jazz theory in general.
Our lessons have been always well organized, working our way through technique, tunes, transcription, jazz language and hear training.
Highly recommended!View more recommendations
