Private lessons

Learn how it actually works

Theory, instruments, and the places where the two meet.

In Brooklyn at my studio, Conveyor, or online from anywhere. I take a small number of students at a time and tailor my approach differently for each student. Tell me what you're after and I'll write back with a plan and a couple of times that could work.

What we can work on

Theory

From harmony, composition, notation and ear training through The Color Tree, the music theory object I discovered, The Color Encyclopedia (the complete space of pitch-class sets), and beyond.

Instruments

Piano, vocals, guitar and bass (fretted and fretless), drums, mandolin, violin, banjo, oud, Tuvan Throat-singing, LinnStrument and more. Technique, repertoire, and improvisation.

Both at once

Theory taught alongside the instrument, so it stops being a separate intangible and starts being something you connect to physically. This is where most students end up.
