Music for Student String Orchestras

Musically compelling. Pedagogically sound.

Tim Isham is well-known in his community and nationally for composing and arranging works for student string orchestra. A teacher himself, Mr. Isham regularly composes for his own students to perform as well as collaborating with other teachers to write music for their ensembles. Mr. Isham’s compositions are performed internationally and appear on a number of state festival and competition lists.

A professional educator, Tim is accessible and easy to work with. He is happy to interact with teachers and students at any level – whether you simply have a question about a piece, would like to do a question and answer session with your class, or are interested in commissioning a work. Connecting with the composer is just a click away!
