Detailed theory and application from beginner to advanced levels.My goal as an instructor is to keep the lessons fresh, fun, interesting, and to ultimately guide the students to better teach themselves as they gain experience and familiarity with the instrument and music. Students can have their lessons catered to the music and styles they wish to pursue. Lessons are tailored to each individual student so that we can build upon their strengths and focus on lessons to improve weaker areas. Students will learn how to build dexterity, use proper technique, and be creative. Every student has different goals, some really want to learn theory and read music. Others may simply want to learn to strum a few chords. Whatever the goal, I can provide the instructions to help the student succeed! Please contact me for any additional questions and further information.

Improve your musical knowledge whether you are completely new to reading music, or experienced and looking to hone your skills.

Music theory is a fundamental part of a well-rounded music education. Topics covered in these lessons range from fundamental theory concepts like note reading, score markings, and key signatures to score analysis, harmonic function, voice leading, and small composition projects.
