How do I know if I need a Music Theory tutor?

You might benefit from having a Music Theory tutor if you’re having difficulty with various concepts or formulas, get constantly frustrated with Music Theory homework, or when your grades start falling behind. On top of that, having 1-on-1 tutoring sessions with a Music Theory tutor can help you to regain confidence and get back on track.

How to choose an online Music Theory tutor?

As you look over the list of online Music Theory tutors, pay close attention to the qualifications indicated on their profiles. From their profile descriptions to their education and work experiences to reviews from other students or parents, having considered these factors will help you choose an online Music Theory tutor that best suits your needs.

What questions should I ask a Music Theory tutor during the first meeting?

Common goals of hiring a Music Theory tutor are: to improve grades, simplify abstract concepts or complex notions and prepare for exams. Therefore, it’s important to ask your tutor questions, such as the process they use to help students they’ve worked with in the past; if they are familiar with your school’s curriculum; and how long they are willing to commit to helping you with your Music Theory class. You may get back on track after a couple of tutoring sessions or may need long-term help that could require a tutor staying with you the entire school year - this could also be discussed with them during the first meeting.

How much does a Music Theory tutor cost?

The price of a private in-person or online Music Theory tutor is set by each individual tutor. Music Theory tutor prices differ due to several different variables, including experience, university levels (ex. Ph.D. candidate vs graduate student vs bachelor’s degree vs undergraduate degree), demand, and teaching experience. No matter your budget, finding an experienced Music Theory tutor to help you with any Music Theory problem is easy with TutorOcean.

How does online Music Theory tutoring work?

When you sign up for online tutoring with TutorOcean, all your classroom sessions will take place in our exclusive Online Collaborative Learning Platform with live video conferencing and white-board technologies. The TutorOcean platform is a secure private learning environment that is accessible anywhere in the world where a reliable internet connection is available providing the ultimate tutoring experience.

Perhaps most importantly, our Live Learning Platform records every study session so that you can build up a comprehensive review library over time.

Are Music Theory tutors worth it?

Studies suggest that as many as eight out of 10 students can potentially benefit from private instruction, including children who are high-achievers. Not only can private 1-on-1 tutoring online or in-person help foster a deeper understanding of key concepts, but students can also be taught broader study skills that will be very useful in later school levels even into high school and college/university classes. The only way to truly discover the benefit of a private Music Theory tutor is to try a tutoring service for yourself. Take your time to meet several tutors to ensure you find the right fit, especially with regard to matching teaching and learning styles.

How can a tutor help me master Music Theory?

An Music Theory tutor can help you to recall more than just concepts of Music Theory, but to put that knowledge to use. A private tutor can help you to connect what you’re learning in school (at any grade level) with what you see and experience in your daily life. A private Music Theory tutor can help you review your academic concerns and create a study plan that highlights your strengths and builds on your weaknesses to help improve your grades. Book your first tutoring session today and discover how an experienced tutor can help you truly master all the key Music Theory concepts.

Marie H.

Sonoma State University, Fullerton College, Santa Ana College

Vocal Performance, Music Theory, Piano Improv & Music Production

BIO Hi (: I am a music instructor and producer, specializing in vocal performance, music theory, piano improv, & composition. Most of my free time is spent writing songs and producing them, working in Logic X and ProTools. My parents bought a standup piano when I was four, and at age six they found lessons for a few months through a family friend. I continued on my own and played by ear until I was a teenager and started to pursue music academically. Raised in a bilingual (french & english) household, I worked my way through college as a pastry chef. Passionate about food, travel and the arts, I’m always looking for opportunities to collaborate and connect. Please don't be shy, message for more information about private lessons, group exclusives, collaborations, and community networking any time! APPROACH Lessons with me are student-centric, focusing on classical foundation in all fields and placing strong emphasis on accommodating individual students' specific ambitions. Strong stage presence, deeper understanding of blending & breath support, and a sharper ear for intuitive learning are all skills you can expect to develop with me. Song motivated lesson plans, finding a way of having a good time, and making music in every lesson are tenets I hold near and dear. LESSON POLICIES Reschedules and cancellations for private lessons require a minimum of 24 hours advance notice.
