About
Hey there, I'm Tim and I'm eager to collaborate with you! I have instructive experience with students of all ages and levels, having taught upright and electric bass to individuals ranging from 4 to 60+. My musical education has been a blessing and now, I aspire to impart the same with my pupils. At Oberlin Conservatory, I attained my BM (Bachelor of Music) degree and later on, I pursued a MM at USC. As every student has a unique approach to learning, I customize each lesson to cater to their specific learning style.

Apart from being a tutor, I'm also an active performer and have played at various prestigious venues. These include the Paris Ballroom in Las Vegas, Capitol Records, Catalinas Jazz Club, and The Blue Whale, to mention a few. I specialize in genres such as jazz, classical, rock, pop, and R&B.

With a master's degree in music and extensive experience working with instructors from around the world, I can confidently say that Tim is one of the best teachers I've had the pleasure of working with. As a pianist seeking to expand my musical knowledge and be inspired, Tim was the perfect fit for me. His recent album, which features original compositions for various instruments, including the trumpet, saxophone, piano, drums, and bass, caught my attention and impressed me greatly. Over the past three years, I've had the privilege of studying with Tim and have learned so much from him. He has exposed me to new techniques and world sounds that have allowed me to be more innovative in my own compositions and performances. Tim's skillful production mastery has opened up a whole new dimension of musicality for me to explore in my work. The value and inspiration he has provided me continue to be significant. Not only is Tim an outstanding teacher, but he is also thoughtful, patient, and attentive as a person, making him an enjoyable individual to work with. His creative energy is infectious, and his affable disposition creates a comfortable environment that makes the learning process enjoyable and fun. Tim's unique approach to playing the bass has left a lasting impression on me. In conclusion, I highly recommend Tim as a teacher and a professional. Anyone seeking to grow as an artist will undoubtedly benefit greatly from working with him. With my utmost respect and confidence, I fully endorse Tim and his exceptional teaching abilities.

The experience I've had with Tim Fenton has been nothing short of incredible. I've never felt uneasy or ashamed about my musical abilities when I'm around him. One of the things that sets him apart is that he doesn't flaunt his advanced skills, which makes for a comfortable learning environment. In the past, I've been disheartened by other musicians who try to outshine everyone else during rehearsals and lessons. However, Tim is perceptive and understands where you are in your musical journey, and he tailors his instruction accordingly. I strongly recommend him.
