Music Theory and Piano Tutor

Tutor Information

About

*Your first half-hour session is free!* I am a PhD candidate in Music Theory and Harpsichord Performance. I have 10 years of experience teaching music theory, aural skills, and keyboard skills from primary school to college students. My goal as a teacher is not only to help students grasp the content at hand but also to foster an appreciation for and love of music. Additionally, I can help students develop study and practice strategies that will assist them in their learning. I am familiar with most of the textbooks used in college theory courses today, including, but not limited to, Kostka/Payne/Almén's Tonal Harmony and The Musician's Guide series. As a piano teacher, I have instructed primarily from Faber & Faber's Piano Adventures series as well as Alfred's Basic Piano Library. Most importantly, I will work with you to find the method that best fits your needs.
