Ear Training Lessons in Bouckville. Amazing Teachers.

I teach ear training through a vocalist's perspective. I'll teach you how to read complex rhythms and melody lines. I can also teach you how to hear for chord changes and how to chart them.

I regularly tutor theory students at the University of Iowa. I can help you strengthen your written, aural and dictation skills.

Ear training is the first, and most important skill a musician needs. I have been learning and studying ear training my whole life, and it is a huge part of my life as a musician. From singing, to recognizing pitches, to writing out melodies I hear, to improvising - the basis of all of this is ear training. I strive to help students develop these skills as well.

My name is Jerry. I LOVE music and passing my knowledge on to others. I have played many different instruments in many different kinds of bands. It all one major thing in common, it was FUN! If you are not having fun while learning an instrument you won't want to learn. Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. I have had many parents tell me I'm one of the best teachers they have ever seen. (A couple of them were public school teachers themselves). I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that!

I explain that having a 'good ear' can actually be taught. There are certain musical sounds which follow predictable patterns. If these patterns can be learned and internalized, then you will have a good ear.
