MORE ABOUT TIM

“Amazing lessons, Tim is a great teacher! I really enjoyed the lessons. He is super fun and great with kids. I learned a lot with him, ukulele first and then guitar. I truly recommend Tim Collins Music Lessons.” 

-Sebastian (student)

“Tim has been a wonderful guitar teacher for my daughter.  As a beginner student he gave her a solid foundation in skills, but also motivated her to carry on with her guitar playing.  His easy going disposition and encouraging words also made my daughter feel comfortable while learning a new instrument. Tim is an effective teacher both through online lessons and in person.  5 stars.“

“Tim Collins is a talented and intuitive music teacher. He knows when to introduce “the next step,” challenging me to reach my new potential. I highly recommend Tim, no matter what level you are at.“

-Cathie (student)

“I love hearing my daughter playing her guitar with such confidence every day.  My teenage daughter started learning ukulele with Tim and moved into guitar after about a year.  Tim is so great at finding songs that suit her skills, tastes and talents.  He was even able to get her to sing and perform in front of others!  Tim is an amazing teacher with superior music knowledge.  He makes music lessons fun.”

-Jennifer (parent)
