Born and raised in Singapore, Timothy started playing the violin at the age of four. He has now been playing the violin for over twenty years! During his free time, he enjoys strumming chords on the guitar and playing simple pieces on the piano. Some of the music genres he likes playing include: Classical, Movie Themes, Oldies, Pop, Rock, Alternative, Indie, Country and EDM. 

 Timothy has his Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Science and a Master’s Degree in Marine Science and Management. Musically, he received his ABRSM Grade 5 Theory Certification (Distinction) and grew up practicing the “Suzuki Method” all his life. He has gained performance experience through an acoustic three piece band and in a string ensemble. The three piece band performed at various weddings, events and festivals in Singapore. Timothy also had the pleasure of performing overseas in Copenhagen, Denmark and in Somerset, United Kingdom and Australia. Aside from performing, Timothy also has experience in violin instruction from leading sectional practice sessions and teaching private lessons to students ages 4-18. 

 The best thing about teaching violin to Timothy is watching a student’s progress from scratch, to being able to perform a piece with great confidence, proficiency, and enjoyment.

 Some other hobbies he dabbles in are all very physical. He engages in keeping a healthy lifestyle through activities such as: running, ice hockey and flying trapeze. One of his future goals/ plans is joining the Cirque du Soleil and touring the world! 

Timothy will be teaching violin on Mondays all day (3:30 - 9:00) and Tuesdays (3:30 - 6:00).
