| More than half of my Students are "over 21" | Posted by Tim Mackey - March 6, 2012 - 9:24 AM
| | That's right -- more than half of my students are "over 21". Music lessons are good for all ages. Reading music and
playing an instrument has been proven to sharpen mental abilities in a similar manner to solving complex puzzles.
Playing the instruments I teach (Guitar, Violin, Banjo and Mandolin) helps to keep the hands and fingers docile and
helps one to maintain higher levels of brain-hand-eye coordination as one ages.
If you are one of those "over 21" folks who think you are "too old" to start learning to play a stringed instrument, I
challenge you to give me a call and set up your first lesson. You might be pleasantly surprised at how much FUN
you can have taking lessons!

| Give someone the gift of music this Christmas! | Posted by Tim Mackey - December 9, 2010 - 9:05 PM
| | Almost everyone knows someone who has mentioned wanting to learn to play a musical instrument. A friend, a co-worker, brother, sister, father, mother, son, daughter, . . . etc. Why not purchase them a few months worth of music lessons on their favorite instrument? This might end up being one of the most meaningful and life changing gifts you ever give to someone you care about. Who knows? You may be the impetus for a future American Idol or America's Most Talented competition winner! I and most reputable music teachers offer Holiday Gift Certificates just for this purpose. Happy Holidays! | |

| "Strings of Praise" CD Just Released!!!! | Posted by Tim Mackey - September 12, 2009 - 8:31 PM
| | Hi all:
I'm pleased to announce the release of my latest music CD. It is called "Strings of Praise" due to the fact that I play a collection of stringed instruments on a dozen of today's most popular Christian Contemporary praise songs. It's all instrumental with me playing EVERYTHING on all the tracks (Guitars, Bass, Drums, Violins, Mandolin and guitar synthesizer for background keyboards, choral voices, horns, strings, etc...)
The song list is:
1) Blessed Be Your Name 5:22
2) You Are Holy (Prince of Peace) 3:39
3) Your Grace Is Enough 5:07
4) You Are My All In All 4:07
5) Open The Eyes Of My Heart 3:55
6) I Will Not Be Shaken 4:13
7) Hosanna 4:48
8) Holy Is The Lord 4:03
9) You Are My King 5:22
10) Shout To The Lord 4:30
11) Your Love Makes Me Sing 4:17
12) How Great Is Our God 4:44
When the worship pastor at my church heard some of the first tracks, his comment was: " This would be a great CD for churches to own to play before and after services." Others in my church have commented: " This would be a great tool for introducing non-Christians to our contemporary music in a less theatening way, due to the fact that there are no lyrics being sung on the album..... maybe the listener would like the music and decide to try coming to church???"
You can hear one of the tracks at my facebook page: www.facebook.com/tim.mackey and on youtube.
It is currently available only in physical form for $10 plus $3 S&H.
You can get yours by emailing me here or calling me at 503-348-1957.
