I have taught aural skills/ear training in a variety of settings for over twenty years, mostly at the college level.

I teach a simple, and broken down system of music theory, that is ideal for the vocalist, songwriter, and beginner or intermediate pianist to quickly grasp and apply to their practice and develop a strong ear to aid in compositions, writing, accompaniment, singing on pitch, and all of music! Taught along with piano lessons, it is the perfect way for the vocalist/ songwriter to be able to accompany themselves with basic piano chords within the first few lessons!
I use my own system, plus the Alfred's Piano and/ or Aural Skills books for children and adults if desired by client.

- learning melodic intervals
- distinguishing between major and minor chords
- solfege exercises with movable doe

I have studied music theory at the college level and have been writing and composing for over a decade, both alone and in a number of successful bands. I believe in theory as a creative tool rather than simply as an intellectual exercise, and I put strong emphasis on putting knowledge to use.
