I had not had piano instruction for 46 years ! He taught me theory ; How to find and use the cords in any key ; rhythms; and playing as a worshiper and facilitator for worship .
Also some beginning instruction on creating music . Beginning with familiar and adding one new element , words, tune, rhythm .
Excellent Instructor !

Tim is a great teacher to work with! He's able to teach the basics really well, while also weaving in more advanced ideas. I also always felt like I had a great mix of songs I decided I wanted to learn while building on the fundamentals that I can apply everywhere.

Tim has helped me so much with my technic and confidence in my voice! Not only is he honest with you but he also makes sure you understand what he is asking of you and encourages you through every step. I was insecure about my voice for a while and couldn't get my voice to do what I wanted it to do, until Tim started teaching me. Now I feel comfortable in being more bold and pushing my limits!

I have had the privilege of spending a year being mentored by Dr. Tim Smith. Dr. Smith has been a phenomenal teacher who not only has a great understanding of the technical side of musicianship, but a heart for prophetic free worship that has been contagious. I have learned to go deeper in my skills and deeper in God’s presence through worship. I have learned to develop and lead others to become more aware of God’s presence. More than anything, I have found a new love for worshipping God in a fresh way.

Tim is an excellent guitar teacher. He was infinitely patient teaching my daughter and made all the difference in the world in her early career as a musician. Highly recommend Tim for anyone looking to improve as a musician.
