Music composition graduate student and current teaching assistant in Illinois offering music theory and composition lessons.

Joe is both a passionate musician and skilled composer - but he’s a great teacher because he understands what it’s like to struggle with the concepts too. He is excitable but very patient with his students, and he explains things in a detailed but entertaining manner. I HIGHLY recommend learning alongside him in any capacity! He will challenge you without it feeling like a challenge - he just wants to make great art with others and give people the tools to continue to do so.

I've known Joe for years, and I will say, despite being around many musically talented people on a regular basis, I don't know many with as complete an understanding of music as Joe. He is quick on his feet to come up with solutions, and is good at tackling problems from a variety of different perspectives. Joe is also an efficient communicator, and is both honest and reliable

Joe is a fantastic teacher—he's great at breaking complicated concepts in ways that I can understand. He's also incredibly passionate about music theory! I can't recommend Joe enough!
