Music Theory Lessons in Mead. Amazing Teachers.

We will work on learning to read music, musical styles, cadences, phrasing, etc.

I offer private music theory tutoring to students of all levels, with a special focus on middle and high school students applying to music programs, preparing for Music Theory AP exams, or those who are preparing to pursue music more seriously.

Lessons are tailored to the student's needs while building on skills as we develop them. Students can expect to cover key signature identification, chord progressions, basic history, and more fundamental skills.

I have studied in depth in jazz, classical and contemporary music theory, and have been teaching for over 17+ years in this area.

My name is Jerry. I LOVE music and passing my knowledge on to others. I have played many different instruments in many different kinds of bands. It all one major thing in common, it was FUN! If you are not having fun while learning an instrument you won't want to learn. Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. I have had many parents tell me I'm one of the best teachers they have ever seen. (A couple of them were public school teachers themselves). I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that!

I am happy to offer beginner and low intermediate music Theory and ear-training lessons. Having had 4 years of experience taking very advanced level music theory and ear training classes with outstanding teachers in Russia, I will teach you the core fundamentals of musical theory which will not only help you to play your instrument better, but to have a deeper understanding and appreciation of music.
This is a golden opportunity for you to take lessons, because as I wish to gain more experience in teaching music theory I am now offering lessons at extremely low rates!
Please give me 48 hours warning if you wish to have a lesson so that I can prepare a detailed lesson plan

Music Theory is EASY!!! I have in depth discussions about Jazz Harmony with one of my 9-year-old students. I am not kidding! Using the Piano, Staff, and the student's primary instrument, I will make sense of the mystery and we will quickly build a solid foundation of usable, musical knowledge.

Starting with the Major Scale students are introduced to Intervals, Triads, Seventh Chords and Extended Harmony. Students then learn about Minor Scales and Modes. A very simple explanation of the Circle of Fifths leads us into Key Modulation. There is also a Rhythmic component to each lesson in which students learn to read rhythmic notation. We discuss Time Signatures, accents, basic Rudiments, Poly-rhythm and Syncopation.

My goals are for students to know HOW music works. Music is about creativity. It is about developing an idea then using sound to convey that idea to another person. While learning Music Theory can help prompt ideas, the biggest benefit is the simplicity in development;
