Music Theory Lessons in Discovery Bay. Amazing Teachers.

I love to teach music theory at all levels. Music Theory helps you understand many aspects of music, including why certain notes and chords sound good together, finding the right key to sing a song that is in your voice range, improvisation and soloing on your instrument, timing, rhythm, creating original melodies, thinking outside the box for composition, and many others.

Music theory can be studied as a separate lesson or it can be incorporated into a performance area. As a music teacher of 47 years, I have primarily taught music theory as an integral part of my music lessons. I believe that learning music theory works best when using the piano keyboard.

Classical theory all levels and Jazz theory all levels

I've written a textbook on the subject, in fact.

I've been studying music my entire life and have composed, arranged, practiced and played many styles and genres of music gaining a solid understand of what makes each style, chord and melody unique. Knowing how music and harmony functions is essential to becoming a complete musician and is something that every person studying an instrument should have a grasp on. I use a blend of ear training, active listening and classroom style exercises to help the student attain a well rounded and practical understanding of the function of musical theory.
