About  TIM NEW   

Tim came to York in 1973 to study Maths at York University. After a brief spell of teaching Maths in school, his heart drew him away to live the life of a musician. His career in music spans the past 35 years, during which he’s played in many bands and ensembles, covering a diverse range of styles from folk and rock to soul, jazz, and baroque chamber music, though his first love is jazz, particularly the music he plays with “Bejazzled”.

During that time he’s performed all around Britain, with spells working in regional repertory theatre, and doing numerous recordings for local and national TV and radio, and many other commercial recordings.

At the same time he’s worked as a committed  private instrumental teacher, mostly teaching flute and saxophone to students of all ages in his music studio at his home in York. He’s also maintained his interest in maths with some private tutoring.

It’s mainly as a result of his teaching that he’s been able to develop a long-term passion of his - writing music. His compositions have been gratefully received by his students, who appreciate being so close to the source of the music they’re playing. Other teachers have also picked up on his writing, and are now using his material in their own lessons. He’s also been commissioned to write music for various different local ensembles.

The success of his music has led him to promote and sell it to a much wider market,  through his web page

He now has a growing reputation both locally and internationally, as a composer who writes music that amateur and professional musicians all over the world like to play and perform.

Tim has also combined his love of playing and writing music with an interest in taking photographs to create his own videos, showcasing his compositions, and featuring his playing. These have been uploaded onto his YouTube channel and have put him in contact with fellow musicians all over the world.
