Timothy Del Collo started to play piano, as a young teenager, at Settlement School of Music, in Philadelphia. He earned his bachelors degree in music theory at Temple University, while studying piano under Dr. Mikhail Yanovitsky. Before his time at Temple, he studied piano with Kim Barrosso at Rutgers University. Tim has also studied composition under professor Jan Krsywicki. He has composed for the acclaimed string trio, Sound Energy. Recently, his work has been performed by the Temple Youth Orchestra, as part of a collaboration project, at the Trinity Church in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia. Timothy believes that composition is essential while studying piano as it supports students’ comprehension of melody, voice leading and harmony. Residing in Bucks County, Timothy teaches music theory classes at a local music school and also performs in an R&B/Soul band.
