Tutoring Approach:

By studying Music Theory you will learn how music is written down, learn to recognise elements, signs and symbols and their meaning. I guide my students step by step on their journey of studying Music Theory with a clear purpose: From learning the basic elements you learn to start reading the music. And by learning to read music, you will learn to understand music. Throughout this journey are plenty of examples of music, both written and recorded, available where the student can listen to, so it's no 'dry theory'!

Whether you play an instrument, or sing, or like to listen to music, through understanding more about music you enable yourself to appreciate and enjoy the music on a deeper level than you did before!
