Music Theory tutors in Western Cape

I have a degree in music. Theory was, and still is, one of my favourite subjects. I have been tutoring other theory students since I was in high school. For some reason, they always seem to understand my explanations better than those of the other teachers.

I did a year of music studies at the University of the Free State and absolutely loved it! I have written my Grade 5 UNISA Music Theory exam and done Grade 6 work as well. I am very passionate about music.

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.

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.

I am a friendly and intelligent 25 year old female currently studying Early Years Montessori Teaching. I am really passionate about education and am particularly interested in helping students with their Music (theory and piano practical), English, History and/or Drama studies. I am very creative with particular interest in sewing, painting, reading, drama, dance and music. I have worked in the fashion industry (as a fashion designer, blogger, stylist and visual merchandiser), broadcasting (hosting 2 radio shows over 3 years) and most recently have been working at a Montessori pre-school as an assistant teacher.

I'm a trained piano player having studied at UCT where I did 2 years training in the Classical stream followed by 3 years training in Jazz. I graduated in 2006. Since that time I have been working as a music teacher at various local music schools as well as working as a performing musician. My performing experience includes working as a session musician for various cover bands in Dubai as well as working in local bands. Currently I am a member of a duo called "Mistura". The type of music we perform is light tangos, classical pieces and arrangements of pop songs (which I arrange).

I am a second year UCT student doing a triple major in Psychology, Music and Film. I attended The Drakensberg Boys' Choir School as well as Kearsney College where i graduated with double honours in Music as well as Academic Colours in 2014.

I am currently a second year jazz guitar student at the University of Cape Town and a freelance musician.
