music educator, composer, bassist residing in Webster, NY. I have taught strings at all levels, currently high school. I primarily compose works for student string orchestras. I play classical, jazz, folk, and whatever comes my way. timisham.com
Whenever someone asks me why I chose teaching (usually in context of some kind of professional development workshopping) I always say “because health insurance.” It always gets a few snickers but I’m serious.
Good times!
SCIENCE.
So glad they are enjoying it!
E.T.
The Goonies
Jurassic Park
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Even if only for the Spielbergian references in other, later films.
Also, at the risk of being dragged into a galaxy of other mediocre and bad films, the Empire Strikes Back. Again, even if only for the pop culture references.
So rad.
Recently had occasion to update my performance resume. Been a while.

A single Duran would be a bit disappointing.
No.
Thanks for having a look!
Left my performing career behind a long time ago - the bass still feels like home, though.
Lots of handles in convenient locations.
When my Mooradian finally wore out my luthier sold me a Bobelock case. I have been pleased with it - padding is thick and firm, and everything about it feels heavy-duty. Very stiff and rugged.
I taught for years in cheap shoes. My exhortation to student teachers I’ve sponsored: spend your first paycheck on quality footwear. That new car can wait.
We made cutout Christmas cookies with our teenage boys. Left to right: a gingerbread man, a crewmate from ‘Among Us’, a figure we call ‘torso man’ which I don’t know what it was originally but is now hopelessly bent out of shape, a holly leaf, another torso man, and a sand worm.
The way he manages to be completely un-zany in the midst of everything else. Without him the film just drives itself off a zaniness cliff.
Michael Caine is brilliant and every Frank Oz-voiced character sounds like Yoda.
I started my career as an orchestra bassist, but switched to full-time teaching. After 20 years of teaching, I still feel like an imposter when I am teaching but every time I get to play bass it feels like coming home.
I used to take off my watch when I was younger but leave it on now. Always wear my wedding ring - teach all day playing violin, viola, cello, and bass. Neither seems to interfere with my playing.
“The piano is just a big wooden box of decrescendos” is one of the best descriptions I have ever heard.
Also: Socks by JD McPherson, Wintersong by Rani Arbo and Daisy Mayhem, a Dave Brubeck Christmas. Sorry if it’s TMI, I’m a bit of a collector.

In my imagination, you misspelled it zero times.
