Music Theory Lessons ~ Madison, WI

As a young musician I would frequently leave a concert feeling absolutely fired up, exhilarated, or otherwise overcome with a variety of emotions. Once I regained myself, I would locate these powerful, evocative pieces of music and try to figure out…why. What about this music provoked this reaction, or how did they achieve that sound? Thus began a lifelong study of music theory. On the surface, music theory looks like a set of rules to follow, but it can provide so much more in terms of musical construction, understanding and enjoyment. While the subject matter can indeed be complex or daunting, I use different angles and perspectives in teaching to find the way to make the material make the most sense to you.
