Tim graduated from the Elder Conservatorium with a Graduate Diploma in Music, Performance (Viola) where he studied with Keith Crellin. He has played with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra. His interest in early music led him to become a principal player with Ensemble Esterhaza (Melbourne), New Holland Baroque (Adelaide), and the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra (Sydney).

He pursued his vocal studies under Robert Dawe and has been a soloist with many Adelaide choirs including the Festival Chorus and Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus, Graduate Singers, Adelaide Harmony Choir and the University Choral Societies. He sang with CoOpera for several years and is currently a member of acclaimed vocal ensemble, Syntony.
