"As a music theory and composition tutor, my goal is to help students develop both a strong theoretical foundation and their unique creative voice. I tailor each lesson to the student's level and goals—whether they're preparing for the AP Music Theory exam, studying classical harmony, exploring 20th-century techniques, or working on original compositions.

I hold a Bachelor's in Music Composition from the University of Denver, and I've studied and taught a wide range of styles, including classical and popular music. With 6 years of experience in both academic and real-world musical settings, I understand how to bridge the gap between theory and practice—between understanding music on paper and bringing it to life.

In my teaching, I emphasize clarity, creativity, and structure. We might analyze pieces together, practice part-writing or counterpoint, or workshop an original score. Whether you're trying to pass an exam, write your first string quartet, or improve your harmonic vocabulary, I’ll meet you where you are and help you grow." less...
