    Review of Tim Mackey, June 24, 2009

    Before I started violin with Tim, I had a year of lessons with a different instructor. In comparing, Tim helps me advance in my instrument quicker and I really enjoy being able to play along with him during lessons. He's very talented and makes me want to be as good of a musician as he is. I have fun learning from him and look forward to my lessons.

    Review of Tim Mackey, June 24, 2009

    Tim makes me feel like I've accomplished much in a short time in guitar. It's very encouraging to be able to play a duet with him each week. I'm very comfortable in his presence. Tim also makes sure I "do it right" - no bad habits. I appreciate his teaching style very much and look forward to each lesson.

    Review of 5-String Banjo Lessons , June 23, 2009

    Tim Mackey is a wealth of musical knowlege. He has perfect patience for the beginner, like me, who always feels stupid. After a class with him you feel like you can actually master what you're working on (if you practice). And unlike some other music teachers he doesn't waste your time & $ talking about himself and his accomplishments (which are many).

    Review of Tim Mackey, June 22, 2009

    I'm fourteen years old and I've been a student of Tim's for close to two years now. His patience and attention to detail is unmatched along with his skill and mastery of his instuments. Each lesson is a new fun and insightful experience. I would truely recomend Tim to anyone who is looking to get the most "bang for their buck" and the most knowledge for their time.

    Review of 5-String Banjo Lessons , June 12, 2009

    I show up at Tim Mackey's for my banjo lesson tired and "brain dead" after work. Tim's teaching style energizes me. I leave stress-free and feeling good about my lesson. I've been playing for a few months now. My wife and cats don't run out of the room when I practice anymore. Thanks to Tim Mackey, a talented, and gifted, professional teacher.
