Music Theory tutors near me

I used to love playing my instrument by ear, but the true talent is not only having the natural gift but also understanding the mechanics thereof. My music teacher used to make the nicest rhymes to remember and understand music theory which I remember till this day. I wish to help you with remembering and understanding the theory till you are also old enough to say “MANY years ago I learnt this and still remember it to this day”

I completed a music degree at UP, specialising in music theory, music history, and piano performance in my fourth year. I took guitar up to third year level. I have tutored music (piano, guitar, music theory, music history) since 2014, mostly to beginners and intermediate learners.

I am a BMus qualified music educator with more than five years experience in teaching children, teens and adults. I am specialized in vocals, but also teach piano, guitar, recorder and keyboard. My BMus had music composition, theory and history as majors. I am also able to tutor University modules such as music composition, history, ethnomusicology, gender music studies, music and religion, music sociology etc.

I have a distinction in Music at Matrik level as well as Grade 6 level ABRSM Music Theory. Music is one of my first loves and I know how much of a role it plays in so many lives. I can guarantee enthusiasm and passion for the subject from my end.

I feel I am qualified as I achieve 85% plus for music as a subject. I have a vast knowledge of music and I have a great understanding for it. I am the top student in my music class. I always achieve distinctions for music. I am currently at at grade 6 theory level.

I graduated from The University of Pretoria in 2019 with a BMus (hons) degree I obtained with distinction. In addition to having a university-level education in music theory, I am also well-versed in the most recent teaching techniques for the music classroom. I play flute, piano, guitar and also sing, and can thus help put music theory into practice in a wide variety of ways.

Currently a PhD student, I am in the final stages of completing my studies, while lecturing select courses at Wits University. Once finished, I hope to continue with a career in academia. I am originally from Johannesburg and have spent much of my time here, aside from a period of studies in London. I enjoy travel, literature, and the arts.

I have a bachelor's in horticulture and soil science, with an honors in souls science as well as a MBA. I ran companies, have been on boards while pursuing a freelance career in music as well as tutoring university subjects like stats, business management, management accounting and economics.. I also conduct orchestras on all levels as well as playing the violin and viola. I am a mature gentleman with a young family. My 2 youngest are 5 and 7 respectively and my oldest 2 are 30 and 32. I have successfully tutored students on all levels previously. Tutoring is a 2 way commitment. Not a quick fix.

Although I have a Completed BA degree majoring in English and Afrikaans, I am also a passionate musician, having completed both vocal and performance exams through Trinity College London. I am currently undergoing further vocal training to pursue my musical ambitions, but am also passionate about working with people, thus find tutoring the ideal way to combine my language skills with my desire to help people. I also have an interest in education and understand the importance of academic support to realise students' potential. Due to my creative nature, I apply my creative thinking to academics and problem solving too - if the usual approach fails, I enjoy seeking an alternative way to understanding, because while all people may not learn the same way, all people are capable of learning.
