Music Theory Lessons in Clinton. Amazing Teachers.

MUSIC THEORY MASTER DEGREE

Since high school, music theory has always interested me. For my students this means theory will almost always be included in a lesson, not just to know it, but to know why and how it influences the notes we play. Due to my college experience, most of my theory knowledge has a jazz tinge to it, so some terminology might vary between that and classical language. Regardless, if you're looking to learn how to use a Babbitonian Matrix, or where to apply a Hexatonic scale, or even just want to know what notes make up a chord, we can definitely discuss it and have a good time doing it.

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.

I offer private music theory tutoring to students of all levels, with a special focus on middle and high school students applying to music programs, preparing for Music Theory AP exams, or those who are preparing to pursue music more seriously.

Lessons are tailored to the student's needs while building on skills as we develop them. Students can expect to cover key signature identification, chord progressions, basic history, and more fundamental skills.

If you are interested in how music works, or need help passing your theory classes, I can help you with all basic theory topics and even more advanced topics like Schenkerian Analysis.

As a student at Berklee College of Music, I have a very thorough knowledge of music theory and as a teacher, I think it's important for students to understand how and why music is written. From reading music to figuring out scales and modes to harmonic analysis and the circle of fifths, I will focus on whatever my students' interests and goals are.
