Music Theory Lessons in Redbird. Amazing Teachers.

The mathematics of Music! I have a ton of experience studying music theory, I started when I was 12 when I wanted to learn how to improvise with my jazz saxophone. I was very lucky with the opportunities I had to learn music theory. I learned from two college educated jazz musicians before pursuing my own music education. While studying jazz studies and music business I studied both classical music theory and jazz theory quite extensively. Whether you want to become a composer, an improve soloist, or just improve your songwriting abilities, I can provide the knowledge and technical skill.

I teach music theory from the perspective of the performer, helping you to discover music theory in context. I’m a Juilliard-trained Master’s degree cellist, but have also completed Honor’s theory and advanced graduate theory training at Juilliard. I have experience working with students from beginner musical literacy to college-level theory studies and everything in between. Message me to find out if working together will help you reach your musical goals!

I have studied music theory to the highest collegiate level

Want to learn how to read music, how to find your way around a keyboard, or advance your knowledge of musical terms, symbols, time signatures, rhythm, key signatures, the basics of composition, etc.? I am an internationally-produced composer, and love tutoring theory and tailoring my lessons to student's interests to give them a better understanding of the fascinating mechanics of music!

I have a broad understanding of music. I am well versed in saxophone, jazz, music theory, composition, and arranging. Aside from my experience in all these fields, I have a curriculum that offers students a skill tree. The skill tree both cleary documents what students has learned and what the next steps are in the student's path. This also gives students choices in their education. I am all about students being able to provide their own input into their education. My job is to set expectations and guide students through their musical path.
