About Jessica
Hi, I'm Jessica! Music theory is the subject where my own personal journey from confusion to genuine confidence and disciplined understanding makes the biggest difference in how I teach — and for 6 years that personal journey has been the most powerful tool I bring to every student I work with. I know from direct personal experience what it feels like to sit in a theory class feeling completely lost while everyone around you seems to understand, and I know exactly what it took to push through that confusion and build the kind of real, confident theoretical understanding that eventually transformed everything about how I hear and create music.
I share those personal experiences openly and honestly with my students because they are not just relatable — they are genuinely useful guides for navigating the same challenges my students are currently facing. When a student feels overwhelmed by modal harmony or completely confused by counterpoint, I share exactly how I felt facing those same concepts, what specific approaches helped me break through, and what disciplined daily habits made the difference between slow frustrating progress and genuine mastery. Theory becomes a completely different subject when it is taught by someone who remembers vividly what it was like not to understand it — and that empathetic, experience-guided approach is what makes my lessons consistently produce real confidence and lasting results. Over 6 years I have helped students pass school and AP Music Theory exams, write and perform original compositions, and develop a musical understanding that transformed their playing. I was honored with a Music Theory Educator Award by the Philadelphia Music Teachers Association in 2023. My online one-to-one live lessons are honest, clear, and completely dedicated to building your confidence and discipline through real personal guidance. Let's master theory together!
