I was so happy to have Niko lecture me on music history. He is an awesome teacher and extremely knowledgeable. He takes the time to help me to understand the history or music and that opened my understanding to be able to take my exam and feel confident all because of Niko amazing and awesome teaching on music history. I would recommend everyone who needs a music history tutor reach out to Niko as he is an amazing and awesome knowledgeable music teacher.

I truly cannot find the words to describe the impact that Dr. Beth has left upon my appreciation for music, and I highly recommend her to any other student. She will revolutionize the way you look at music, because music is an art. Just like any art, it has multiple perspectives, and Dr. Beth analyzes each one. This is what makes her such a great tutor. Thank you Dr. Beth!!! I will really miss you!

Fortunately, we found Dr. Beth S. who is an amazing music theory tutor. She took my son through the Barron's Guide, chapters 1-16, in about two months with two one-hour lessons a week. She is truly a master of the material, she explains well, and she made my son enjoy music even more than before. Now 10th grade has just started and my son is feeling confident about the topic, thanks to Dr. Beth S. I strongly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn music theory.
