I am a Music Educator and Performer with 15 years of classroom teaching experience, both at the High School and College levels, and 20 years of experience teaching private lessons. I have Bachelor's of Music and Master's of Music Degrees, and my life and passion is teaching, performing, and composing. It is my absolute joy to help aspiring musicians and students, of all levels, in connecting to, and excelling in, their own musical pursuits.

My expertise is in Music Theory, Ear Training, Composition, and Jazz Performance. I taught Music Theory and AP Music Theory courses for 10 years in the classroom setting, in College and High Schools. My AP Music Theory students have consistently been some of the most successful and high scoring students in a large network of schools. Through this experience, I have honed my tools and insights for preparing students for the very rigorous AP Music Theory Exam. I identify students' understanding effectively, and I will strategize a manageable plan for success that is unique for every student.

I am all set up for online lessons and have a schedule that can accommodate both PST and EST zones, and I very much look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Excellent AP Music Theory Tutor

Aaron is a highly skilled and patient AP Music Theory tutor. He helped my son catch up quickly, and my son is now doing very well in the class and feels prepared for the exam. Aaron knows the subject and the test really well and makes them approachable. He’s also really nice to work with. My son looks forward to his sessions. Highly recommend Aaron.

Best College Level Theory Tutor

I needed some help with a college-level Music Theory III class, and was so happy to find Aaron. He is incredibly helpful -- as well as encouraging. He really knows music theory and he makes it all make perfect sense!! I've already scheduled another session with him for more assistance. Thank you Aaron!

Knowledgeable and Patient

Aaron was an excellent tutor to work with. He helped me with a difficult transcription assignment for my Aural Skills IV class and my final project which was an arrangement. He was super patient with me and walked me through each step. I will definitely be contacting him again if I need help again!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Aaron understood the requirement and took the time to prepare the lesson and sent us in advance to be ready for it. My daughter is already in advanced music class in high school and needed some help and Aaron was able to help her.

Super thorough, patient, and encouraging tutor.

We worked on building A6 and N6 chords, but also had an overview on certain principles of voice leading and important intervals. Additionally, we worked through some chord analysis of a couple romantic era excerpts. Super easy to work with
