When Mr Tim steps into a room full of children, he takes them on a high energy adventure full of spontaenous creativity, crazy drama acts and exciting original songs that have them performing in no time!

As a performing arts specialist, Mr Tim uses carefully crafted programming to give ALL children a chance to participate, learn and have fun. Mr Tim believes that everyone is a performer and uses his unique teaching style to harness each childs' potential.

Becoming aware of the need for quality music for primary school aged children, Mr Tim has embarked on a musical adventure for the whole family to enjoy. Through his new album Bartimus Fum's Rock Mission, Mr Tim is looking to provide children with an alternative to mainstream pop by using topics and stories that relates to them, mixed with a special blend of humour and teachs the value of ROCK!.

Trained as a classical pianist at the ANU School Of Music, Mr Tim also gained experience in childrens' choirs as both an accompanist and conductor. After completing his music degree, Mr Tim completed a Diploma of Education (secondary) and was then employed as a Performing Arts Specialist to create and implement a program that catered to boys’ education. With the resounding success of this, he continued on developing the program; composing original songs and performance items and including Professional Development workshops for teachers.

Beginning his teaching career, he quickly noticed a lack of quality material for the everyday classroom to use. With most teachers only having synthesized music (MIDI) to teach children singing, Mr Tim set about writing his own songs for children. These songs quickly gained notice from parents, children and teachers when they were performed at Mr Tim school concerts.

Inspired by the success of this, he put together a nine piece rock band to record an album of sophisticated childrens' music for parents, teachers and children to enjoy.
