Teaching Philosophy: "Apart from honing new skills in time management, language and reading comprehension, and coordination, learning any instrument can be a thrilling and joyous endeavor especially when paired with a safe and nurturing environment!
My students are free to discover music they enjoy while also following a curriculum that leads progressively toward a stronger understanding of all music. I aim to act as a guide helping uncover music fundamentals in all styles and genres of music while helping discover music that is both challenging and appropriate for each student.
There is a vast amount of music that hasn’t been heard and I look forward to learning about it with you!”

Tim Flores is working with our 9-year-old son & 11-year-old daughter. He jumped right in as a substitute instructor in a seamless way; quickly understanding & responding to their learning styles, personalities, levels, engaging them, challenging them & quickly guiding their growth. He has a kind, positive vibe as he provides a fun, focused lesson. He often adds an extra little element to keep them engaged & learning such as duets, learning how to give (& receive) constructive feedback from each other, listening activities about classical composers. He teaches them to appreciate where they are & get excited about what is next. He is super organized & follows up each lesson with a lesson plan that is extremely helpful for the my kids (& parents too) to navigate exactly what to work on & how to go about it. Tim clearly cares about his students and helping them both progress and find the joy of music! We are so appreciative that he is working with our children!
