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!

I was so glad that I found Peter on WyzAnt before my Music final last semester. I was so stressed with my Music final, which was about Arabic Music. I am an international student at my local community college, and I am not majoring in music. I was having a really hard time understanding the music material we covered in class. Peter is a GREAT TUTOR. He is very patient and knowledgeable.
