It’s been a while since this lesson, and after reflecting on it, I think my original review was harsher than it should have been. While the lesson wasn’t the right fit for me and we had some issues at the beginning, I don’t think one experience should outweigh the positive experiences many others have had. I wish Tim the best and hope others find value in his lessons.

About Tim Lyddon jazz piano (online & Poconos,PA) only
I am located in the Delaware Watergap PA. I teach a varied and complete approach to jazz piano encompassing all styles and influences from Art Tatum to Brad Meldhau. I can also teach improvisation on any instrument. We look at solos and tunes, breaking down the harmonic and melodic structures. Drawing from my teachers, I use ideas that I studied from Jaki Byard on Errol Garner and Art Tatum. From Harold Danko, modal concepts which Chick Corea used. From Charlie Shoemake, Straight ahead jazz soloing and chord voicings. From Lyle Murphy, jazz composition and harmony which influenced Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Oscar Peterson who also was a student. Studio piano and the art of playing a ballad from Terry Trotter. Using all of these influences, I carefully watch students to see if they are swinging and using correct musicianship including rhythmic precision. You may find me on You Tube. Just search Tim Lyddon
Reviews
Tim has been tremendous with breaking down Jazz fundamentals and has a wonderful feeling of patience for knowing how to pace the lesson and what he wants you to get out of it. I’d recommend him to anyone who has a passion for learning piano
I decided to go with Tim because his jazz style of playing was what I was looking for. From the very first lesson, he understood my strengths and weaknesses and gears the lessons to help me grow. Every lesson is a managably challenging and progressive. Thanks for making the selection process easy for me. MG New City
I'm so happy to find Tim. I promised myself to find a piano teacher and restart my journey of Jazz Piano. By chance, I stumbled on Tim and so far his lessons have been phenomenal. He's a patient teacher and the exercises and feedback are perfect for my level. Ive enjoyed every lesson so far and am so enthusiastic for what is to come. Highly recommend Tim, you won't be disappointed.
Wasn’t sure what to think about online lessons, but it’s turned out great. Tim’s a nice guy and has helped me progress pretty quickly. He’s also flexible, which is great when you’re a trying to balance a 9-5 and everything else.
Tim is an excellent teacher and musician. He is a professional and will help you get where you want to be as a musician. His attention to detail and student needs keeps the lesson focused and he works at the student’s pace. I highly recommend Tim for anyone that wants to take piano lessons.

I started learning from Tim for about 2 months. Tim is great to work with. I came from classical piano to jazz and I got a lot improvement since taking lessons from him!
