Angela K.

141 lessons

My daughter quickly hit a point of extreme frustration with her music assignments; apathy became her reigning attitude toward her orchestra class. Phoebe was our godsend. After assessing her needs, Phoebe began helping her to build the necessary knowledge base in music theory while assisting her with proper form, technique and skill.
William P.

24 lessons

His highest semester exam score, outside of music theory and band, was Italian. He finished the semester with flying colors and received comments from his teachers; "improving", "tutoring has been very beneficial". We can't say enough good things about Stacey. We just feel really fortunate to have connected with such an effective teacher.
Theresa K.

He responds quickly and professionally and is prompt come lesson time. He was also flexible in scheduling our first lesson. I particularly appreciated his inquisitive approach when I didn't understanding something. He remained focused and on task since I frequently would go off topic. Music Theory is extremely complicated to learn, yet Paul finally helped me turn the complex into something I can finally understand.
