About Tim Boaté - Music Producer & Guitar Teacher

Multi-instrumentalist || Music Producer || Recording & Mixing Engineer || Private Guitar Instructor || DJ || Live Sound Engineer || Guitarist, bassist and songwriter for indie pop band Sunbathers || Guitarist for Boate & Ajluni Duo || I approach guitar lessons in a different way than most teachers. Having now taught more than 5,000 guitar lessons to over 250 different students, I have developed a unique style of explaining and demonstrating playing technique and music theory that is effective for a wide range of experience levels and musical styles. In addition to teaching guitar, I also offer a full range of song writing, audio recording, editing, mixing and mastering services, as well as teaching recording and music production using Logic Pro/GarageBand software. I’ve recorded, edited, mixed and mastered everything from singles, EPs, and full albums, to children’s stories (with voice actors and live music) and complete audio books of published novels. I have lots of experience in a wide variety of music genres and production styles as well, including pop, rock, folk, jazz, R&B and more. I also offer live music, live sound, and DJ services, and have performed at nearly 200 shows/events over the last decade or so. Playing music has been a lifelong passion of mine. Having spent tens of thousands of hours honing my skills on instruments and recording/mixing techniques, I find it very rewarding to share the knowledge I have built with others, and to allow them to find the same enjoyment with music as I do.

Very professional, helps you build your vision. The first time I booked with him I knew that he had the skills that I needed to help me with my projects. Thank you, can’t wait until our next session!

Tim was great getting me started with guitar. I had no experience and he made the basics really relatable!

I've been taking lessons from Tim for a year. He is an extremely versatile player well versed in all genres–one of those people that seems to have been born with a guitar in their hands. His lesson plans are well thought out and tailored to each student's interests. He teaches theory from the beginning in a sensible, understandable way. + great value, very responsive!

I've been extremely pleased taking guitar lessons with Tim Boate. He is professional, organized, and formulates an individualized lesson plan that fits my interests and skills. It has been the perfect mix of music theory and learning songs that introduce me to new skills. I have been taking lessons for almost 7 months now, and have progressed more than I ever thought possible. I highly recommend taking lessons with Tim! Superb value!

Paul O.Sep 2018

I've worked with Tim for about 5 months, and I've already seen such an improvement in my guitar playing. He is incredibly knowledgeable in many different styles and he does a great job of breaking down concepts in a way that I can understand. Tim is also really patient and supportive, which is great for new guitar players like myself. I also appreciate that he sends emails after each lesson with what we went over so I can practice at home. I have really enjoyed working with Tim and would definitely recommend having him as an instructor.

Lisa N.Jan 2018

Awesome instructor. I highly recommend Tim. Great person and great teacher. Super talented and personalizes his lessons based on what you are looking for.

Thumbtack CustomerJul 2017

Tim is outstanding to say the very least. He's a perfect instructor for someone at any level. I started out with him 2 years ago as a beginner and have learned so much from him. He's incredibly knowledgeable and tailors instruction based upon your needs and desire. You honestly can't go wrong with hiring him. It'd be your loss!

Thumbtack customerDec 2015

Great guy and guitar teacher. Goes above and beyond by thinking about songs to teach you, emailing the chords after class, etc. Would highly recommend.
