Music Theory Lessons in Elizabeth. Amazing Teachers.

All about the music: reading notes, rhythm, scales, intervals, alterations, dynamic.

I teach Music Knowledge, because it works in any and every musical situation. A "theory'" is just a hypothesis, Music Knowledge works with everyone and works every time- they're is no guessing...improvisation is a whole nutter' animal, though!

Music theory is an area that I love teaching because it really helps to connect the musician’s talents to their musical technical skills. I like to start from a very basic approach that avoids overwhelming the student and goes at their own pace. I especially love to help children learn music theory as it’s a good age to start and have fun with in the way that I teach. I have experienced learning music theory in a very challenging setting where it could be overwhelming at times and I try to bring myself down to the child or students level to not over complicate something that doesn’t need to be over complicated. So I may not be as well versed in complex theory, I can for sure get you started in a very less stressful way that can impact your music skills now, rather than years later after taking several levels of music theory.

With both undergraduate and graduate studies in Music History and Theory, students will find the lessons to be inspired, instructive, thorough, and creative - bringing music theory to life and in a way that is immediately applicable in the students' current practice as a musician of any level. Worksheets, online tools, and videos help the student to continue learning in between our sessions, and make review of the material easy and enjoyable.

I have experience with music theory all the way through college level harmony. My degree path at Berklee College of Music provided many tools to aid a working understanding of music theory and how it applies to composition and analysis of music. I enjoy helping children, teens, and adults find joy in understanding music theory, from the most basic foundation to intricate chord and rhythmic structure.
