STUDENT TEACHER PROGRAM 
 
We support a program to help beginning teachers refine their skills as they develop into professional teachers. Only advanced long term students who are music majors or preparing to study music at a college level are screened for this program. Not only are their music skills considered but their goals and their abilities to communicate with others, especially younger student musicians. They hone their skills under the watchful eye of a mentor instructor and have access to address any teaching concerns they may encounter. Through this program we will advance the art of teaching music while allowing student teachers opportunity to earn financial support in their chosen field.

Testimonials

"She really has learned a lot from Tim...in a rather short amount of  time. She plays beautifully and picked up a lot of techniques really quickly. I’m always amazed at the vastness of her artistic talents."  

- Wendy Assel, Smithville, Mo.

"I'm and older student of Tim's. I didn't start taking lessons from  him until I was 69 years old. I have no musical talent but wanted  something to do. Tim has amazing patience with me and a great  sense of humor.
I look forward to every lesson. It's the highlight of  my week.  If guitar is something you've wanted to pursue but weren't  sure, give it a try. Tim won't disappoint you.

He's a terrific teacher and I'd recommend him to anyone."

- Bonnie Green, Smithville,Mo.
