What I Teach

Subjects and Instruments:


MUSIC THEORY

From basic music-reading skills to understanding chords and chord progressions.


ARRANGING *


The fundamentals of writing harmony for voices and instruments.



SONGWRITING *


This is basically a "workshop" situation in which I'll give you some general outlines to work with (song forms, chord progressions, etc.) and then help you develop your song idea within those outlines.


   
                 * Please note - to study arranging or songwriting, 
                  you should already have at least a basic background 
                  in music theory.
