Looking for a fun way to learn classical guitar? With over 20 years of experience in classical guitar and general musicianship instruction, I offer beginner to advanced lessons for all ages using traditional, classical, and Suzuki methods. I believe in prioritizing proper technique to build a strong foundation for my students, which can take longer but results in better long-term outcomes. Students taught using my methods can expect to play music more competently within six months.
Additionally, I prioritize student enjoyment and seek students who genuinely want to learn the guitar. I encourage self-motivation and positive reinforcement to create a nurturing environment, and help students choose the musical style they want to pursue. I use highly effective guitar teaching methods, including the Suzuki method, which aims to create high ability and beautiful character through immersion, encouragement, small steps, and a personalized timetable for learning.

Vadim was our guitar instructor for more than 2 years, until we moved out of state. My 8-year-old son and I both took lessons from him. Vadim is a unique teacher and professional musician who is passionate about his craft. He is dedicated to his students and provides a comprehensive educational experience. His extensive knowledge and love for the guitar enable him to customize his teaching approach to suit all levels. Under his guidance, all his students make remarkable progress in their guitar playing skills. Vadim regularly organizes opportunities for his students to perform live, which is instrumental in building their confidence and presentation abilities, particularly for young musicians. I highly recommend Vadim to anyone who desires to maximize their potential in playing the guitar. He is dedicated to his students' success.

With his patience and expertise, Mr. Timinsky proves to be an exceptional guitar teacher. His lessons are engaging and enjoyable, particularly for younger students. However, even advanced students can benefit from his vast knowledge and superb technique. My daughter has been studying under Mr. Timinsky for six years and still finds her lessons to be exciting. I highly recommend Mr. Timinsky to guitar students at any skill level.

After attending a free consultation, I have had the pleasure of receiving two lessons from Vadim. His approach to explaining fundamental concepts is exceptional and has enabled me to make great strides. Vadim is undoubtedly an outstanding teacher, and his instruction will ensure aspiring classical guitarists have a solid foundation in the basics. As someone who teaches music lessons, I recognize the significance of mastering the essentials. While some players excel at their instrument but struggle to teach others, and some teachers are excellent yet not as skilled at playing, Vadim has a rare talent to do both with excellence. I am excited to continue my musical journey under his guidance and anticipate a fruitful partnership.

For a few years now, my son Eli, who is presently 11 years old, has been receiving classical guitar tuition from Vadim and we both find it extremely enjoyable. With Vadim's tutelage, Eli has made significant progress, as evidenced by the pieces he performs in the monthly concerts put together by Vadim. Eli even won first place at his school's talent show with his rendition of a famous Flamenco piece! Vadim's professionalism and love for music shine through in his instruction, and his ability to effectively pass on his knowledge to his pupils is his greatest strength. He has a knack for getting kids to relate to him and his humor always brings a smile to their faces. We hope to continue working with Vadim for many more years.
