In this class I will provide students at any age range/skill level music theory lessons, tutoring, and test preparation for anyone seeking personal growth or academic success. The class will be heavily influenced by the student and I will fit the needs for that student depending on what they need. I will have notes, presentations, assignments, and more to help in the development of the student. This class can be an introduction into the world of music theory or a tutor who need some kind of assistance. This class can also cover music composition lessons and feedback for whatever level of composition you are looking to do.
