Music Education major at Keene State College, peer tutor of Music Theory and Aural Skills!

Methodology

When teaching music theory, I choose to start with the very basics, as I believe that music theory is a very cumulative subject. For example, when introducing triads and seventh chords, a student must first know their major and minor thirds.

When teaching Aural Skills, I try to build and reinforce confidence in my students by first singing along with them in exercises and practice, and slowly letting the student try some exercises on their own.
