I have 4 semesters of experience tutoring in Berklee's Ear Training curriculum. This includes everything from beginner-to-chromatic solfege, chord quality identification, learning music by ear, transc... ribing improvised jazz solos from the masters, and everything between! I've seen ears of all shapes and sizes (in a musical sense of course) and helped countless students and peers expand their hearing's capacity. A musician's ear is their most powerful tool--a well-tuned ear enables a musician to decode others' secrets, keep their composition under the heat of the band-stand, and retain information like no other.read more

For as long as I can remember music has been an integral part of my life. From foundational lessons at an early age to delving deep into the world of Jazz and Contemporary music, I've always been honi... ng in my technique and ears to pick through the intricacies of today's vast world of music. I began teaching elementary-aged students beginner-intermediate piano lessons at my local School of Rock when I was in high school. While I was getting a good taste of what it is like to guide others' musical journeys I was also working rigorously to develop my own playing. By the end of my senior year I had nailed down a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music and followed it up north to Boston where I live today! My experience at Berklee opened up my gaze to the world of writing music, producing music, and scoring films--my most recent endeavor. After mastering Berklee's general music curriculum, I joined their instructional forces as a Core Music Tutor. During my final four semesters here, I was tutoring upwards of twenty students at a time while also tackling my studies in Jazz Piano and Scoring for Media. Now that I'm out of school, I'm eager to continue sharing my knowledge of the deep world of music I've explored thus far and follow my students as we continue to sift through the never-ending wealth of music in the world. I'm happy to share all I know regarding piano, music theory, learning by ear, college prep, and beyond!read more
