Dr. Beth has been a great tutor for tutoring AP Music Theory for my daughter, who needs help preparing for taking the AP Music theory test later this year. Dr. Beth has extensive teaching experience on AP Music theory. The online tutoring lessons are effective and time efficient. We are so happy with Dr. Beth's.greta help that we have weekly lessons scheduled until the AP Music theory test.

He has grown tremendously musically in just the past month due to her tutoring and while the class is not an easy slam dunk by any means, he loves it and is doing very well. We would recommend Samantha to anyone whether it be for music theory or any other class. She’s very personable, reliable and certainly incredibly knowledgeable!

He quickly recognized some negative spots vs good learning habits that I have. He was supportive all the time and I only received positive energy from him. I was feel lucky and content. It is hard to find someone who is nice and honest with integrity. I believe he is a true professional natural teacher with all the above experiences. Dan is actually able to deliver on what he said. I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs specialized areas with perfect understanding of Music Theory.
