KELSEA L., age 19
“Your lessons over the years have gained me an insight into what I want to do in my life. Through music and learning these instruments, I learned that I am forever tied to music and will always chase the lyrics of a new song or my own song.”

“Tim has been a very good tutor for my son. We were with him for an year and my son was very happy with him. Both as a teacher and a human being he is a wonderful person. Along with teaching my son, he always updates his knowledge too.. His passion for drums shows in how his students perform too. If we have a chance my son would love to learn further from him.”
ELIZABETH S.
“I was very hesitant to sign up for lessons because I have not really played a musical instrument before and at my age (late 40s), I was worried that I could learn. But after just one 30-minute lesson with Tim and I knew he was my guy. Tim is absolutely the best ever. His knowledge is endless, he’s patient, funny, and has the ability to explain complex things in a way I can understand with my limited musical vocabulary. He knows when and how to challenge or push me when I’ve got a mental block and just holding myself back. His confidence in me makes all the difference in the world. I have also observed him with other students and I’m always amazed with his abilities and performance. Tim goes above and beyond, even secretly coordinating with my husband for a Christmas gift. He is always flexible and understanding. Plus, he is a phenomenal musician and I am always amazed when I see him play live.”

“I took lessons with Tim for two years and was encapsulated with his ability to engage me musically. Whether I wanted to learn something special to me or if I was being taught something special to him, I always looked forward to those sessions even while taking lessons with two other private instructors.”
Dennis L.
“When I was searching for a drum teacher I didn’t just want anybody. I wanted a teacher who actually had the right knowledge of the drums and experience playing in a band, Someone who was patient and friendly. Tim blew my expectations and even played drums for me when we first met he was AMAZING! You truly see his passion when he is playing drums. I would HIGHLY recommend Tim to be your drum teacher.”

“Tim OBrien uses a calm and thoughtful approach in helping any rhythm student improve timing and stamina. His thorough knowledge of music is far reaching and can break the barriers of any style of music the student wishes to study. Most importantly, his level of patience and the ability to judge the students learning rate is Tim’s best attribute.”

Lyndsie C.
“Timothy has been giving our son lessons for about a year now, and we we couldn’t be more pleased. Our son is always so excited for his music lessons, and has learned so much. He really enjoys his time with Timothy and has caught on very quickly. Either Greyson is a natural with the drums or Timothy is an AMAZING instructor. Probably a bit of both! Timothy is very encouraging, motivating, and pushes his students to reach their full potential. We highly recommend him as an instructor.”
