Highly recommended
John was extremely clear and helpful during our class. I needed help reviewing figured bass and completing some assignments for a class. He used our time very efficiently and I highly recommend him as a music theory tutor!

Just 1 lesson so far…
John was patient and really listened to what I was looking for in a composition. I’m older so I have the life experience but not so much technique or experience with composing. He made me feel comfortable with where I am and gave many ideas and next steps to grow toward.

Very helpful
I am writing a review because my son found him to be so helpful, he asked me to make sure that I write one! He has had many tutors and this is the first time he has made that request.

Incredibly Knowledgeable
John is an amazing tutor! He knows everything (music theory composition analysis, sight singing tools, notation tools, musical theater, Finale, more) and is so patient at explaining things! I was so blown away by our first lesson - I came away knowing more than I ever thought possible for one hour, stuff I wasn’t able to understand before despite years of auditing music theory classes at Peabody. Highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable and creative
John is incredibly patient and creative, coming up with exercises and music that I can play even as a beginner. I have learned so much even after just a few lessons!

great teacher!
I had only 1 session with John on music theory and he was extremely helpful ! Very good at taking the time to explain things concisely and makes sure you’ve understood.

Knows subject matter
My daughter has worked with John on numerous occasions. She needed additional help in ear training for her AP Music class. John helped her immediately by teaching her techniques and worked through examples, in a positive and encouraging manner. Now, since John, assignments that took hours before are mere minutes and my daughter has the confidence she needs to succeed.
