He has broad experience of the field and provided good grounding in basic aspects of music composition. First hour of lessons, he gave a good demonstration of chord progression.
Uriah D.

8 Music lessons

Marjorie and my daughter just clicked. Watching them it felt like they knew each other. Marjorie worked with her to find the music inside the method and knew just how to explain what she needed my daughter to do to hit, on her first lesson ever, the highest and lowest notes she had been able to ever play. Marjorie even taught her to pick out the notes of the Star Wars theme song from my daughter's memory of the song. For this part of the lesson there was no sheet music.
