Hi! My name is Max, and I’m a composer and music theorist with years of experience helping students master everything from the basics of music theory to advanced analysis. I graduated from the Peabody Conservatory with a degree in Composition and have taken graduate-level coursework in music theory. I also completed the Royal Conservatory of Music theory exam as a freshman in high school, so I understand what it’s like to take on challenging theory concepts early. Whether you're preparing for an AP Music Theory exam, working through college coursework, or just trying to make sense of key signatures and chord progressions, I can help you understand not just the “how” but the “why” behind the music.
I have experience teaching both in classrooms and one-on-one, including coordinating music theory education at Montclair State University’s extended music program. My tutoring approach is tailored to each student—some people need structured lessons, while others benefit from breaking down difficult concepts in a more intuitive way. I’ve worked with students of all levels and have a track record of helping them succeed, whether that means improving test scores, deepening their understanding, or just feeling more confident in their musicianship. If you need help with music theory at any level, feel free to reach out—I’d love to help!
