Knows content well and can be flexible

She is able to personalize the lesson very well. My son started to compose on his own after the first lesson. It was a fun lesson for him. .................................................................................................................................................................

The best

Dr. Beth is incredibly smart and fun to work with. She has tons of resources and experience teaching a variety of students. I was very nervous to start tutoring because I’m very slow to identify chords, but over time with Dr. Beth I have grown more confident and reassured of my abilities and taught new methods to remember even the fundamentals of music theory! I really liked working with her!

Dr. Beth is excellent!

Dr. Beth tutored me online and though I usually prefer in person, it was excellent! She is knowledgeable and really good at making concepts understandable. I highly recommend her!

patient and motivating tutor!

Dr. Beth came to session with her own comprehensive curriculum, with worksheets and videos. She kept things moving along with an upbeat pace and offered lots of shortcuts and tricks. The time flew by and was really fun. I'm really looking forward to ongoing lessons with Dr. Beth.

Excellent tutor! very knowledgable & inspiring!

My son came to US in summer and we are so lucky meeting Dr. Beth S. at Wyzant, tutoring his trumpet lessons. He has made significant progress over the last 3 months. He started to learn Trumpet 2 yrs ago, and he was lazy in practicing. He enjoyed learning from Dr. Beth S. ever since the first class. The extensive knowledge from Dr. Beth S. on music theories helps him understand the music better, which gives the added value in his playing. He always got encouraged by Dr. Beth S, and turns to be more passionate and self-motivated in his playing. This is really the best part that we, as parents, are so happy to see his change. Dr. Beth S. provides class reviews immediately after each lesson and she is very patient and communicative. She has a lot of music resources, so we were never bothered what to learn and what to prepare. Thank you, Dr. Beth S.! We will continue the journey! Happy Holidays!

A great music theory teacher, regardless of your starting point

My daughter wants to build a career around music but has had an unconventional music upbringing - mostly playing rock in bands, and self taught on piano and voice. She took the AP Music Theory class at her school and was lost on the first day. After about a month we found Dr. Beth and she has been patiently teaching and encouraging my daughter every week. My daughter really likes Dr. Beth and is quickly catching up with her classmates. She is no longer intimidated by the class - and I actually think she is going to do well in it. She would not even consider a different tutor at this point - she really likes Dr. Beth.

Amazing AP Music Theory Tutor

My son has had some great tutors through Wyzant in varying subjects. However, Dr. Beth S. has simply been amazing to work with. She is able to explain difficult Music Theory topics with ease and helps my son understand and feel confident in the subject matter. After a session last night, I asked him how it went and he said, "I love working with her". In addition, she always follows-up with me as the parent to let me know how the session went and responds to messages within 5-minutes or less. I sincerely cannot say enough good things about her. I highly recommend Dr. Beth S. and look forward to my son continuing to work with her and studying for his AP Music Theory Exam with her.

Amazing tutor!

Dr. Beth is so knowledgeable and is expert at using the technology on Wyzant to teach her students. She comes into the lesson with a game plan of things to accomplish for the day and has examples and practice problems ready to go, which makes things run smoothly and allows for so much material to be covered in a single lesson. She knows the material that needs to be covered for the AP exam and doesn't waste a single minute. Very highly recommended!!
