I had 10 days before my final exam and without Travis's help I most certainly would not have passed. Travis was able to break down the more advanced parts of music theory into steps that was easy to remember and allowed me to pass my class with an A. Extremely great at teaching and very friendly, I would absolutely recommend Travis C. to anyone needing help with Music Theory and any other subject that he tutors for!

I am glad I can have Dr. Beth as my AP music theory tutor. I have worked with Dr. Beth for almost two months now. I couldn't think, if I could have to skip a lesson of the week, how much I would miss her. She is really helpful. She is understanding and influencial. I can whistle every day now because I am so lucky to have two AP music theory teachers, Dr. Beth and the other is my school teacher.
