"Hello, I am Addison! I graduated with honors from The University of Akron with a degree in Classical Guitar Performance and a degree in Classical Composition. I then went on to be a music theory teacher at The University of Kentucky while graduating with a Master's degree in Composition with a focus on electronic music. I have been in multiple conferences and festivals nationwide for my compositions and have been commissioned by the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra.

Music is a highly personal and individualistic field, and the challenges students face are also unique. I pride myself as a teacher on focusing on the student's needs and wellbeing first and foremost. Music studies are complex and demanding, but that doesn't mean it can't be fun and rewarding!

During my time as a teacher at UK, I handled multiple full classes each semester. Primarily teaching written and aural theory to music majors. I was also the sole teacher for two versions of music for non-majors.

During my time in undergrad, I ran a large private guitar studio for the Trillium Schools of Music. Currently for LexPhil, I develop courses and programs on computer-based music creation, from writing sheet music for classical instrumentation to how to produce music and understand synthesizers. 

I have experience teaching classes and private lessons for students from as young as 1st grade to senior citizen programs. I am accepting students of all ages and skill levels! Reach out to discuss your specific tutoring needs and have a trial lesson." less...
