Learning about the History of Music unravels these mysteries, and provides the listener or student with what is needed to complete the picture, and make studying and performing music a truly rewarding experience
When listening to, or learning to play music, we encounter the “What” and the “How” as what are merely notes on a page are transformed into sounds defining one of highest forms of art, and reflecting the history of civilization itself.
However, without knowing the “Why”, listeners and performers can never completely understand what the notes on the page mean, as they are brought to life time and time again.
Not knowing how a piece of music came into being, the story behind it, or the person who wrote it, leaves the student or listener with an unsolved mystery, an incomplete picture, as if one were standing in front of a world famous painting, and seeing only the outline.
Learning about the History of Music unravels these mysteries, and provides the listener or student with what is needed to complete the picture, and make studying and performing music a truly rewarding experience.

Our Classes Aim To Provide Our Students With A Well-Rounded Understanding Of Music
If you sing in a choir, play an instrument, or are planning to learn an instrument in the future, you will enjoy learning about theoretical concepts and hearing how they relate to the actual sound of the music
Besides teaching violin and viola, I have a strong background in music theory/harmony, with experience tutoring university students in this area. If you are interested in learning rudiments (scales, basic chords, intervals), I am happy to teach this as well
