Music Theory Lessons in South Glastonbury. Amazing Teachers.

Music Theory can seem like a hard or boring subject to learn and it has been for a simple reason. All theory info needs to be APPLIED to practical uses as it is being learned! My training in Study Skills has shown me how to teach a piece of theory and then immediately give the student examples and show ways to use it in songs... now. This provides the correct balance of Information and Application. Theory is a breeze done this way.

Ask about my book on Soloing and Improvization that exemplifies this approach.

Learn how it all works. All styles from classical to jazz/blues to many ethnic/world music styles

Music theory is just the names and numbers we use to identify and organize musical sounds so that they sound good and happen at the right time, with great beats. It's way better than grunting and pointing when musicians communicate. I can teach theory the classical way, the Nashville way, or the juke joint way - whatever you need to understand musical materials so that you can use them to best advantage and communicate with your fellow musicians

All music is written with some guidelines mind. I can bring music theory to you in an interesting and understandable way. I use written work, ear training, and a bit of sight reading to help you master the basics of music. This is more of an academic class and will require some concentration and work, however the pay off is amazing. Music theory is a universal language and can help you connect to other musicians world wide. Contact me and let's talk about what you know and figure out how to expand your theory knowledge.

I love to help with all of the basics and then go from there with whatever specific genre or technique each student might be interested in!
