I am an Assistant Professor at Wake Forest University where I teach music theory and aural skills. I hold a PhD in Music Theory from Indiana University and an MA in Music Theory Pedagogy from the Eastman School of Music. With more than a dozen years of teaching and tutoring experience, I have successfully mentored students at every level, from middle and high schoolers discovering the fundamentals of music to undergraduate and graduate students navigating more complex topics and skills.
My tutoring philosophy is grounded in a student-first, collaborative approach. I work alongside you to identify your specific goals, learning style, and strengths to create a tailored roadmap for your success. I believe that mastering music theory and aural skills should be rewarding and fun, so I integrate high-energy instruction and effective technology to ensure our sessions are not only efficient and effective but also enjoyable. Whether you are prepping for an AP exam, tackling a graduate-level review course, or simply looking to understand the "why" behind the music you love, I am excited to help you reach your goals.
