Ear Training Lessons in Barnesville. Amazing Teachers.

I will teach you how to internalize pitches, intervals, and melodies. You can transcribe music, sight-read, and more!

Professional guitarist, composer, and producer in Manhattan, NY. Honors graduate from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music with 5 years of teaching experience. I'm here to help you achieve whatever it is YOU specifically seek in your musical development! This includes (but is not limited to) learning your favorite songs, developing guitar technique/facility, music theory/harmony, ear training, sight reading, rhythm/time/feel, home recording/production techniques, and even tools to combat performance anxiety. I'm a specialist in jazz, rock, blues, country, metal, alternative, folk, funk and pop guitar. I've dedicated my life to music and have a vast amount of experience studying, performing, recording, and teaching in a variety of genres. I'm here to help you tackle your personal goals and dreams in music!

My goal as a teacher is to give you the facility to express yourself through music. The key parts to developing this facility are:

1. theory -- if you know your theory, you know the best way to express your idea without having to think about it
2. technique -- the last thing you want is for your technique to hinder your ability to express your idea. Having good technique lets your ideas flow naturally

When you take lessons with me, you get out of it what you put in. Your job as student is to be honest with what you expect to achieve and my job as teacher is to give you the tools to achieve it

My goal in Ear Training lessons is to strengthen my students' musical ears, allowing them to identify specific harmonies and intervals quickly, and to play and sing more in-tune. Lessons are structured based upon your level and goals.

Ear training is an incredibly important part of any musician's skillset, and I have studied ear training with a curriculum adapted from Juilliard and Conservatoire de Paris. My students learn to identify intervals, chords, and rhythms, and also learn to sing printed music without hearing it first.
