Timothy received his first musical training from the well-known choral arranger Michael Neaum, then moved on to study under Anthea Cator at Clarendon College, Nottingham, and received a BA(Hons) in Contemporary Music from Bretton Hall University College. Whilst in the final year of his degree, he took up a position as Vocal Coach to Bretton Hall’s prestigious acting course, training several students who have gone on to West End and film roles. In 1999 he became a rehearsal pianist for Sing Live Ltd, as well as running his own business writing orchestrations and arrangements.

In 2005, Timothy began working as a freelance musical director, vocal coach and arranger. He took over as the Musical Director of Sing Live's Nottingham and Sheffield choirs, worked for Vocaltutor as a voice coach, and gave masterclasses in Singing for Health at several seminars across the UK. In 2008 he took a permanent position with Sing Live as their Head of Music, with responsibility for writing all arrangements and orchestrations used across the company, and for overseeing the musical quality of each of their eleven UK choirs.

In June 2010, Timothy returned to freelancing, in addition to setting up his own company, BeVox, which provides group singing and confidence-building sessions to amateur singers in several cities. He is in great demand as a workshop leader, vocal coach, consultant and arranger.
