Tim Mueller, pianist

Pianist Timothy Mueller and his wife Kimberly moved to Madison, Wisconsin from New York City two years ago, just in time for the birth of their son Aidan. Since then Tim has started a piano studio on the west side of Madison, and has served as music and choir director at Lakeview Lutheran Church on Madison’s north side. Tim has played solo recitals and collaborated in concert with chamber groups, solo instrumentalists and lieder singers in the New York area, Philadelphia, and the Midwest. While in New York he appeared frequently with the Willow Ensemble, at the Trinity Church Concert Series and other venues in New York. As a concerto soloist he has appeared at Chicago’s Symphony Center with the Chicago Civic Orchestra, in Wisconsin with the Milwaukee Civic Orchestra and the Green Bay Symphony, and with the Premiere Ensemble orchestra of New York at Symphony Space.

Tim earned a master’s degree in piano performance at the Eastman School of Music in New York. In addition to a traditional classical training in piano and pedagogy, Tim has integrated alternative approaches to teaching technique and musicianship, through courses in Eurythmics at the Dalcroze School in New York; workshops on the Alexander Technique and Body-Mind Centering; Shambhala meditation training; and workshops on the teaching of natural technique, injury prevention and recovery by Madeline Bruser, author of the book The Art of Practicing. Prior to his move to Madison, Tim operated a successful piano studio in New York City.
