About Justine D.
Close
Curious about how music works? Why do some notes and chords sound great together while others don't? We'll cover the basics of music theory in a way that's easy to understand, using your favorite songs!
A better understanding of music theory can improve your music performance, songwriting, and composition. Let's get started today!
About Justine
I love music and believe in its ability to bring people together. It's been a part of my life since I was 5, practicing piano at home in Michigan.
Music was a big part of every single one of my school years, and I was lucky enough to be able to double major in music and psychology at Kalamazoo College once I graduated from high school.
My passion for music has taken me abroad, to London, where I studied Western & Russian art music and took classes in popular music studies at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
It spurred my move across the country to New York, where I developed a better understanding of how important creativity is to all of us -- especially musicians! -- at Teachers College, Columbia University.

And, most importantly, it's allowed me to do what I love from my home in San Diego, teaching privately both i
n-person and online. I've recently moved to private teaching full-time and couldn't be happier!
I'm excited to get started with you and help you set and reach your musical goals!
*** Online & In-Person Lesson Details ***
It's most important to me that you are excited and motivated about your music lessons! I am a flexible instructor and am always open to hearing your ideas for songs. After working together to identify your beginning knowledge of music and your instrument, we'll progress from song to song to develop your musical abilities.
All of my online and in-person lessons begin by warming up with a quick exercise, scale, or even an improvisational activity. We'll use the music you love to develop your guitar technique, learn new chords, and sharpen your listening skills.
You'll gain an understanding of what makes the music work and why the notes, rhythms, and harmonies are what they are.
The music we study can also serve as inspiration for creativity. I may ask you to come to the next class with a short composition of your own or we'll finish a lesson by improvising together on related musical themes.
I'll do my best to make my expectations for you clear and at the end of every lesson, we'll go over what we accomplished together and make sure you understand what to work on before our next class.
*** Additional Online Information ***
Online lessons can be just as effective as in-person lessons for teaching you the basics of your instrument, developing technique, and achieving your musical goals! I'll use screen sharing to display music, chords, and scale charts during the lessons. Materials will be emailed to you as well for you to use at home. And communication is extra important when it comes to online lessons; because I can't make physical adjustments, I'll often assess how you hold your musical instrument and describe how you can make the adjustments yourself.
Please note that a high-speed internet connection is needed in order to make sure that we can see and hear each other appropriately. In addition, I expect that you will be able to provide your own musical instrument (and amplifier, if you have an electric instrument) to use during the lesson.
*** Additional In-Person Information ***
I teach my in-person lessons from my home office with comfortable seating for both students and parents. I expect that you will be able to provide your own musical instrument to use during the lesson.
I will have music stands available for use during lessons and will accompany and demonstrate on my musical instruments. I will have an amplifier and cables, but if you prefer to bring your own amplifier you can do that, too!
Please note that I have two cats; they'll be in an enclosed room away from where we will have lessons, but if you have cat allergies this may not be a good fit.
I'm excited to get started with you and help you set and reach your musical goals!

About Phil H.
Close
I've tutored students in music theory for many years. Understanding theory makes music so much more fascinating!
About Phil
I've been playing guitar for over 20 years and teaching since 2008. Along with teaching, I've also been pursuing music recording, an endeavor which has produced two full-length albums and one that is still in progress that should be released sometime in 2018.
*** Lesson Details ***
When teaching guitar or any other instrument, I typically use a method book to guide the lessons. In addition to the lesson book, which will cover music-reading, we'll learn scales, chords and strum patterns, among other things. I try to tailor each lesson according to the student's skill level and individual musical interests.
After learning the basics, we can learn different styles of music, including rock, blues, jazz, classical, etc. I look forward to exploring these genres with you!

For piano and voice, I incorporate basic music theory methods but I also focus on ear training as well. My ultimate goal when teaching is for the student to have a visceral experience while playing or singing.
For audio engineering, I go over audio recording techniques and the tools & equipment needed to produce a professional sounding song.
I enjoy imparting my knowledge of music to others and I demonstrate that enthusiasm in my teaching style. I love relating what I'm teaching a student to his/her learning style. Figuring out how someone learns is a key component to my method and I'm a better instructor because of it.

About Graham Y.
Close
Not only does a good grasp of music theory help you pass examinations and assessments, it also helps you learn music faster and interpret it better. We will start with the basic grammar and orthography of written notation, and move on to harmony, good part-writing, and formal structure.
About Graham
My approach to teaching is informed by sound pedagogical training over two post-secondary degrees, and balanced by my affable personality that seeks to draw out the uniqueness of each student’s abilities and interests. I firmly believe that all people are innately musical, that musical training as a form of self-expression promotes overall well-being and self-improvement, and that piano lessons and practicing are an enjoyable journey of self-mastery and self-discovery.
I hold two post-secondary degrees in piano performance. Each included rigorous training in performance, pedagogy and repertoire study. In addition, I trained as a Suzuki piano teacher under master instructors who learned directly from Dr. Suzuki and Dr. Kataoka (co-founder of the piano method).

About Allison L.
Close
As a T.A. to my university's music theory department in my undergrad and my current status as a high school music teacher, I have a very structured approach to tutoring/teaching music theory. I start from the most basic concepts to ensure a strong foundation. My specialties include counterpoint (modal/Renaissance and tonal/Baroque), late Baroque through late 20th century harmony and form, and serialism/other post-tonal compositional techniques. I also am well-versed in jazz theory and voice leading principles within the jazz idiom.
About Allison
I am a local high school band/orchestra director, composer/arranger, and performer.
As a teacher, I have taught elementary general music and currently teach at the high school level. I have taught privately since my sophomore year in undergrad. I enjoy working with musicians of all skill levels and ages. My philosophy of teaching is to instill a genuine love of music and learning into my students in order to inspire self-motivation and discipline. As someone who has suffered and recovered from physical injury due to playing in the past, I also highlight good technique in my students.
As a performer, I regularly perform as a classical clarinetist, a woodwind doubler in jazz and musical theater contexts, and in more improvisatory/experimental settings as well. I frequently perform my own compositions in both group and solo settings. I co
