Thanks for visiting my website! I hope you enjoy downloading my music and can use it to bring peace and happiness to others. 

I guess you're visiting this page to try and find a little bit more information about me. Here's the scoop:
  • I'm originally from Delta, Utah, a small rural farming town in the middle of Utah's west-central desert. Delta has one stop light, about 10,000 people, sand dunes, and lots of jack rabbits. 
  • In Delta, I studied music with a fabulous piano teacher named Karrol Corey. She taught me to not only strive to be a good pianist, but to strive to be a good person and emulate good values through my music.
  • I once discovered a dinosaur while working with my dad in Southern Utah. The dinosaur was a Plesiosaurus. 
  • I began arranging and composing when I was 16 years old.  Because my name felt a bit generic (Tim Johnson),I decided to use Timothy Max as the name on my music. Timothy Max is my first and middle name.
  • I play the piano and organ. I attempted the string bass in high school. That didn't go too well. 
  • I studied music at Salt Lake Community College in Salt Lake City, UT. In 1998, I completed my bachelor's degree in Music Composition from Brigham Young University-Hawaii, where I studied under Dr. Daniel Bradshaw, one of my heros. 
  • I've travelled to Asia several times and was an English teacher in rural Anhui, China in 2004.
  • Now I'm 32 years old. I currently live in Kingwood, Texas, just outside of Houston. 
  • I also work as a flight attendant for SkyWest Airlines. I travel about half of the month and find that hotels can be a nice place to write music and build websites. 
  • In my free time I travel, do photography, cook, work on home improvement projects, and go walking and hiking.
  • I direct a choir of full-time LDS missionaries in Houston. These singers share their testimony of Christ 24/7 which makes it a spiritual and humbling experience to work with them. 
  • My friends call me Cooper. For many years I really wanted to drive a mini cooper but could never afford one. Now I drive a fiat. (Please don't call me fiat.)
  • I like pecan pie, driving fast, ikea, ice cream, facebooking, bargain shopping on craigslist, and cool tech-gadgets.

Since my day job is in the airline industry, feel free to send me the details about your performance and I may even show up.  I've even been known to help accompany or work with a choir before a performance if requested. 

Also, feel free to submit audio or video recordings. With your permission I'll post them on my download pages and share for others to sample.

Cheers,
