Music Theory Lessons in Brentwood. Amazing Teachers.

I have been incorporating theory into the lessons for the 25 plus years I've been teaching. It's an integral part of learning each piece and additional books can be used to reinforce new concepts if needed.

As a music major--with subsequent professional jazz, composition and songwriting experience--I feel confident to teach you music theory from any of a variety of angles, including: music reading basics (notation, rhythm and playing on piano), understanding chords/keys/scales (intermediate level) and writing/arranging/playing/improvising with this knowledge as your foundation (intermediate to advanced). I can help you prepare for exams (including Trinity, high school and college) as well.

MUSIC THEORY MASTER DEGREE

I have studied theory on my own for decades, but made it official a few years ago and went to music school to better organize it in my teachings and of course to help improve my understanding and playing techniques. In my lessons I cover.. Staffs, Clefs and Ledger Lines, Note and Rest Duration, Measures and Time Signatures, Dots and Ties
Simple and Compound and Odd Meter, Steps and Accidentals,
The Major, Minor, Pentatonic Scales as well as scale charts, Chords and Inversions, Key Signatures via Circle of 5ths and any other topic you may desire to learn.

Hi fellow musicians! I am a professional touring musician, songwriter, and recording artist based in Austin, TX. I graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Mandolin Performance and a minor in American Roots Music from Berklee College of Music in Boston.

I have been teaching over sixteen years.

I tailor each individual lesson to that persons goals, needs, wants, and styles.

My goal is to learn music the fun way. Along the way we'll learn theory, chords, scales, ear training, composition, reading music, tempo etc
