No experience necessary. We will be starting from the beginning. Small group sizes allow me to check in and ensure each student is understanding the music theory concepts. Beginner music students studying any instrument and singers are encouraged to join this class. We will be learning using the Grace Vandendool Keyboard Theory Preparatory Book A curriculum. Students are encouraged to complete all homework and send me pictures of the completed Review sections for each lesson. Students must purchase the book before class begins.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I'm Siobhan! A versatile and passionate human interested in continuing to learn and grow throughout life's journey. I spent nine years living in Thailand working as a professional musician and private music teacher. For five of those years, I ran my own business, a music school, where I gained valuable experience and a versatile skill set. Just before the pandemic, I was traveling and developing new skills including cooking gourmet vegetarian food, managing a kitchen, managing social media pages, video editing as well as completing my 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Course. During the pandemic, I began creating music classes that are specifically designed to be delivered online. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, reading, travel, and practicing music.Reviews
