iOS and Android Apps

 

Apps - they're everywhere. There's a ton of music apps, of widely-ranging quality, and there are more all the time. On an individual basis, I can help students find apps that work well for them in such categories as note reading, ear training, rhythm, improvisation, music theory, sightreading, etc.

Beethoven's Bagatelle in G major, Op.126, No.5, mm.5-6.

very least make listeners smile should become an organist."

- Alfred Brendel
