Dr. Beth was absolutely amazing. She is high energy, engaging, and was incredibly patient and encouraging. She has a deep understanding of AP Music Theory and explained concepts in a way that really clicked.

My friends' son also took lessons from Marc, and he scored 5 in his AP music theory exam too. My son's school does not provide AP music class, so it's such a blessing that we found Marc as my son's teacher. Marc is very patient, respectful, and encouraging with my son. My son loved to take lessons from him and was motivated to learn. I very highly recommend him.
