Comments from students who have studied with
Tim Bedner :
"I am excited to say that my audition at Humber went very, very well.
I played "All the Things You Are" and afterwards he told me that it was
one of the few best that he has heard this year. Thanks Tim, seriously, I
would not be as confident, focused, and somewhat competent had I not taken
this year and studied with you. I thank you, thank you and thank you
again."
Hey Tim "This lesson was one of the most informative and clearest sessions I've ever spent with a teacher and I've been so excited I even started the chord chart homework"
"I've improved my technique in so many ways, thoroughly learned the process."
"I have learned many techniques which are applicable to so much music. I loved how this class wasn't classical, jazz or rock, but rather concepts that influence all music."
"He (Tim) was clear and obviously knew and loved what he was doing."
"Tim is awesome. He is very knowledgeable, motivating and he makes me like coming to class."
"Tim has pushed me to be better every day."
"He (Tim) does whatever he can to help me. He also has amazing patience."
"Mr. Bedner is a great teacher, nice, patient and interesting."
"I have learned more in six months of lessons with Tim then in 16 years of studying guitar on my own."
"Tim seems to have both his life and his teaching methods in perfect order. He has been a joy to study under."
