A LITTLE ABOUT US

Tim is primarily a composer, but he has always enjoyed playing stringed instruments. His first instrument was the piano at age 7, but it was at age 11 that the strings of the ukelele captured his heart. He hasn't stopped playing strings since, focusing on bass in junior-high orchestra, high-school band, college orchestra, and guitar in other ensembles. He was educated at the University of California at Santa Barbara, the Université de Bordeaux, and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (DMA, 1977). His studies focused on composition and upright bass, but he always found the time to continue work with guitar, banjo, and various other stringed instruments.

Maggie is a flautist. As a young adult, she spent many years performing folk music, primarily Irish, on various wind instruments. She began her studies at the Univeristy of South Florida, but completed most of her studies at Concord Univeristy, WV. During her college years, she focused on art music, primarily 20th century. As a music-ed major, she spent much time with string and wind instrument pedagogy, which gave her a broad perspective on instrumental performance.

In 2002, Tim and Maggie started performing together as an acoustic wind and strings duo. They perform both art and folk music, including some of Tim's original compositions.
