Tim is a fantastic teacher and has made lessons fun for my son. Our son showed a particular early interest in guitar and drums (he’s only 3) and we wanted to give him lessons. Tim was very patient, adaptive to my son’s musical interests and ultimately has made it fun for him to continue enjoying music. Thank you!!

About Tim Fenton Music Lessons
Hi I’m Tim and I would love to work together! I have taught many students from ages 4- 60+ at all different levels on the piano, guitar, upright and electric bass. I know every student learns in a different way, and I tailor each lesson to that particular student’s learning style. I have helped students audition for colleges including USC and UCLA. One of my students went on to study Jazz at UC Irvine. I have also hosted student recitals, which can be both fun and rewarding for students. I’m grateful for my musical education, and I would like to share that with my students. I got my BM (Bachelor of Music) at Oberlin Conservatory and MM at Universtiy of Southern California. In addition to teaching, I’m also an active performer. I have led my own band at Threes Brewing and Barzakh Cafe in Brooklyn. I have also played at venues such as Webster Hall, 54 Below, Jimmy'z Monte Carlo (in Monaco), the historic Blue Whale (in Los Angeles), and played on recording sessions at Atlantic and Capitol Records. I specialize in jazz, pop, r&b, rock and classical.
Reviews
Tim is an excellent bass teacher and has been a pleasure to work with. He is very accommodating and makes learning the bass a true joy. I tend to have difficulty taking in too much theory at a time, which has never been a problem with Tim. He gets how I want to study, giving me enough to learn the fundamentals but keeping it fun the whole way through. A highlight of each session is when he asks "what song do you want to learn" and no matter what it is, he can reverse engineer the bassline after a quick listen. For me, this is a huge part of why I like working with Tim-- he knows that if I have fun with the instrument, I'll get better in time. I highly recommend Tim for bass lessons!
