The NBC affiliate regularly features top educators in metro Atlanta and on Monday WXIA Reporter Donna Lowry featured Timmerman.

He can be heard as soloist with the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers on the recordings “Songs of Angels” and “Angels on High” (Telarc) and on the original cast recording of the opera “StarChild.”
A member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing, Timmerman formerly taught on the voice faculties of Kennesaw State University and Columbus State University.
Choirs under Timmerman’s direction have been featured in performances with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra, at London’s Westminster Abbey and at inservice conferences of the Georgia Music Educators Association. His students have enjoyed unprecedented representation in Georgia All-State Chorus events and the Governor’s Honors Program.
Frank Timmerman is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Timmerman of Cairo.
