Amazing class with Maria! For every question my kid had, Maria patiently explained very well. My kid can easily understand and be more and more confident in theory. Maria is also a super good ear training teacher. Maria prepared very well for ear training practice. Maria can accurately get my kid’s weakness in ear training and emphasize on teaching it. My kid LOVES Maria’s class.

I was definitely eager to sign up for another lesson. She was patient and encouraging, which are two qualities that I really believe a teacher/tutor/mentor should have. If you value experience over all then Dr S is definitely the tutor you should sign up for.

Me being a vocalist, I struggled with transpositions and fingerings of all the different brass and woodwind instruments that were on the exam. She also helped improve my conducting skills and ear training with chord progressions, as well as Music theory with modes. I would highly recommend her as a tutor to anyone that is in need of help or is struggling to pass this exam. She would even be helpful for tutoring in music theory as well as ear training.

About ear training

On Wyzant, students can find personalized lessons to improve their ears for music, whether learning to recognize pitch, intervals, chords, scales, or rhythmic patterns. These lessons pair aspiring musicians with experienced tutors who can provide guidance tailored to individual skill levels, musical interests, and listening goals. This approach makes learning effective and flexible, allowing learners from beginners to advanced to develop their listening skills through structured practice and expert feedback.

Ear training is the process of refining your auditory skills so you can accurately identify musical elements by ear. It involves exercises and techniques that strengthen your ability to recognize pitch intervals, chord progressions, melodies, and rhythmic patterns. Over time, this training helps musicians play by ear, improvise, compose, or analyze music more confidently and intuitively.

Wyzant helps learners reach their musical goals by connecting them with knowledgeable ear training tutors who offer flexible, one-on-one online or in-person lessons. These sessions focus on individualized topics and practical exercises that build listening skills step-by-step. By providing expert guidance and steady encouragement, Wyzant enables learners to develop a strong musical ear, expand their musical understanding, and enjoy listening to and performing music with greater confidence.
