Jens P.

20 lessons

Fortunately, we found Dr. Beth S. who is an amazing music theory tutor. She took my son through the Barron's Guide, chapters 1-16, in about two months with two one-hour lessons a week. She is truly a master of the material, she explains well, and she made my son enjoy music even more than before. Now 10th grade has just started and my son is feeling confident about the topic, thanks to Dr. Beth S. I strongly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn music theory.

He says her presentation of the material is clearer and more effective than in his college classes.

Whether you are a beginner or more advanced student, if you are looking for help in Music Theory, do not hesitate, contact Dr. Beth.
