Musicianship lessons
Are you sick of answering music theory questions in a book like it’s a dry maths equation rather than the written expression of the beautiful sounds that you love about playing music?
Would you rather sing, play games and make music to understand more about music theory and improve your musicianship skills?

I use a Kodály-inspired approach to musicianship that makes theoretical concepts come alive in sound. We will sing, move, play games and play music so you can understand what is happening with the intervals, melody, harmony, rhythm, texture, dynamics and more!
Lessons may include
Aural skills
Harmony
Solfa
Rhythm exercises
Sight-singing
AMEB exam preparation
Lessons tailored to you
-
I use a Kodály-inspired curriculum combining singing, musical games and teaching strategies designed specifically for young children to ignite a lifelong love of music in young children while they learn safe and healthy vocal technique, music notation and musical concepts.
-
I'll introduce you to basic pitch and rhythm relationships, music notation and solfa using singing and interactive activities.
-
I'll expand your understanding of melodic and harmonic concepts with further solfa and we'll begin to work on rhythmic and melodic dictation (how to write what you hear). We'll apply these concepts to your current repertoire on your instrument or voice.
-
This is your chance to delve more deeply into your area of interest. We may focus on score analysis, more advanced rhythmic, melodic and harmonic dictation (writing what you hear), and sight-singing.
-
If you’d prefer to attend your lesson online for whatever reason, I’d love to see you on Zoom!
Pricing varies depending on location and what you need, ranging from $200-1500 per term.
