Tim has been a great tutor for me so far learning the fiddle. He is very knowledgable, and this comes across in his teaching. He also knows just how to pitch the learning so that I have never felt out of my depth, but I do also feel as though he pushes and challenges me to constantly improve my playing. I always look forward to our lessons, and would certainly recommend Tim to someone who is looking to get started on the fiddle

I’ve really enjoyed my lessons with Tim. I’ve been trying to improve my sight reading for both classical and folk tunes and Tim has the knowledge to help with both genres. My interests lie in using what I’ve learned and his advice on how to play the music has been really valuable. He has a wide catalogue of music scores, backing tracks and demo tracks that have really helped too. So yes, I thoroughly recommend him as a tutor.

I've had a couple of violin teachers in my time and Tim is the very one that I need at this time in my life as a senior learner. He gives encouragement where needed and also constructive criticism. He is very open to tune suggestions and challenges me at just the right level. I thought I could not learn a tune by heart but he has encouraged me to give it a go and I have found that I could do better than I thought I could. I have learnt a lot so far with him and I am surprised at how good online lessons are. Sticking with Tim because one of the emphasis in the lessons is on having fun with the music. Would definitely recommend him: Thanks Tim!

Tim is very encouraging, patient and fun to learn with. He also seems to understand that the violin will never be my number 1 priority in life, but I do hope it can take its part as a source of enjoyment and satisfaction, so will work as much as other things allow. Thank you!

I am an adult learner with very little free time and I really enjoy my lessons with Tim. He is relaxed, patient and fun and the pace of the sessions suits me perfectly.

Only just started learning violin as a very senior citizen! Really pleased that I found Tim to teach me, he has a lot of patience and a good sense of fun. Looking forward to having lots more lessons with him!

Tim is a brilliant teacher - and incredibly patient and kind with a fab sense of humour. I never thought I would be able to learn any instrument, let alone the violin! I get so much joy out of our sessions and from the practice. Tim sets pragmatic goals and is clear, helpful and flexible with sessions. Could not recommend him more.

Tim has been a great asset to helping me learn the violin. I’m really interested in a more fiddle style and Tim is helping with that. I really enjoy the lessons and am really happy with how far I’ve progressed! Thank you for your time and extensive patience!

I am so pleased to have picked Tim as my Violin teacher. As an adult beginner, it is daunting to start something new, but Tim makes the lessons relaxed and fun. There's no pressure and everything is done at your own pace. Would definitely recommend Tim for anyone wanting to learn the fiddle.

This guy, this is your guy. Understanding, accommodating, patient. I was extremely nervous as an autistic person to take the plunge and start with a teacher and I'm so pleased I found Tim. Tim's great, clearly knows his stuff and his website has some great resources. I've had a good few lessons now and I'm looking forward to many more.

I have been delighted with the fiddle lessons I've had so far with Tim. As a complete (adult) beginner, I was keen to find a teacher that could help me learn in a relaxed, no pressure environment. Tim is able to deliver this aswell as offering guidance at a pace which means I feel I've made realprogress in a short period of time. His website is great too!

I am really enjoying my lessons with Tim. In just four lessons I am seeing improvement and have gained enough confidence to have a bash at fun things that I would never have tried (jamming in pentatonic scales for example). Tim takes time to figure out what your current level is and what you want to learn. He tailors the lesson accordingly. Tim also explains things simply and patiently. I can highly recommend lessons with Tim.

I have played the fiddle for 40 years on and off with a particular interest in traditional Irish and Scottish tunes. My progress has been sporadic and I have a handful or so of tunes I can play by ear which sound half reasonable. Nonetheless I still have a great love of the music and the fiddle in particular. In Tim I have found a tutor who shares the same enthusiasm and can draw out the essential character of a tune and present it in a way that is accessible and fun for the student. Just three lessons in I can already feel a tangible improvement in my playing and a renewed interest in learning new tunes.

I’m not the youngest student on the planet so was sceptical about taking violin lesson at my age. However, Tim has put me at ease and given me the confidence to progress and improve. His structured approach is proving extremely helpful and his easy going manner makes lessons a real pleasure. Brian

Tim has been a great teacher. As an adult beginner, it can be somewhat nerve-racking to find a teacher. I am very glad I chose lessons with him. He has laid out a plan for instruction to get me playing tunes as quickly as possible, though still taking the time to focus on the building blocks and fundamentals. Not only that, it has been a relaxed and fun learning experience. My main focus is to be able to play fiddle tunes. However, I also want to be able to play classical music and learn music theory. Tim has the skill as a practitioner and instructor to be able to do this. The bottom line, I highly recommend lessons with Tim.
