Hi! I have a PhD in musicology and have taught music theory and history at both Ivy League and community colleges. As a music scholar, composer, and performer, I have found that it is not enough to study a textbook. To become truly "fluent" in a skill – to develop such an experienced ear, feeling, and mind for a subject that it feels totally natural – we need to unleash our inner curiosity. Rather than forcing my students through a strict, traditional regimen, I view my work as that of a guide. I help my students explore their own passions and goals. I inspire them to ask questions and think independently. I am particularly keen on navigating my students through the vast and amazing world of FREE online music resources and communities. In addition to private tutoring, I have taught music theory and history at Brown University, New York University, Hebrew College, and the Borough of Manhattan Community College. I've written several blogs, including one on the music theory of Disney music. As an out-and-proud transgender woman and omnisexual, I understand and fully support LGBTQ+ students. I look forward to working together!

My name is Penelope. I started my music career as a demo singer and a backing chorus member. Back in 2013, I worked as a backing vocalist in pop concerts and some music events in Hong Kong like Clockenflap. I was awarded a Summer Musical Camp Scholarship by Goldsmiths, University of London for a short-term musical theatre training in 2017. I started my teaching job in Hong Kong where I met my first group of students. They have been taking lessons with me for 10+ years til now. I have been teaching online lessons since 2022 and have been teaching more than 900 lessons. My students love my lessons as they always find me supportive and patience. This is one of the testimonials from my student - "I recommend her to all ages and beside having a approach to teach technique in singing, Penelope has added time to challenge me for a higher range of pitch. I am more confidence in my singing now."

Music and teaching have both been passions in my life. I enjoy simplifying complex ideas and making them easy to understand. Even though music theory can feel daunting, I’ve helped students of all ages get comfortable with it. With a background in RCM Level 10, piano, flute, and choir, I’ve experienced many ways music can show up. Through teaching, I’ve learned how to reframe concepts so they really click for each student. If you’re preparing for an upcoming RCM exam or just want to start learning music theory, I’d love to hop on a free 30-minute session to see if we’re the right fit!

Hello! My name is Victor. I hold a Bachelor of Art degree in music. I speak and also teaching in the English language. With almost 10years of experience in both teaching and performing. I have developed a deep passion for music pedagogy, training over 5000 students worldwide(remotely and physically). My expertise spans multiple instruments, including the violin, piano, guitar, as well as voice, allowing me to connect with students of various backgrounds and skill levels. I have taught kids, teenagers, adults, as well as older adults. My commitment to music education is driven by a desire to inspire others and cultivate their love for music. In addition to teaching, I excel in music production, songwriting, and vocal performance. I believe that music is not only an art form but also a powerful means of expression. By blending creativity with technical expertise, I aim to help my students discover their unique voices and musical identities. My approach emphasizes the importance of both foundational skills and artistic exploration, ensuring that students feel confident and empowered in their musical journeys. I teach music theory lessons with solfege (tonic solfa), alphabets, and numbers. This varies with students. My ultimate goal is to ensure my students have a good grasp of the lesson, irrespective of their age or music proficiency. Whenever I am not occupied with music related activities, I relax by watching inspirational podcasts, science, domestic animals and wildlife, aviation, history, My classes are designed to be exciting, warm, and simplified, making the learning process enjoyable. I prioritize creating an inviting atmosphere where students feel comfortable to express themselves and maximize their potentials. By fostering a supportive environment, I encourage my students to explore their creativity and develop their musical skills at their own pace. I can already visualize an awesome learning experience with you. See you in class!
