Experience
My main focuses in my degrees were in music composition and theory. This involved studying music from throughout the classical music tradition, all the way up to the present day. My theory degree was also very analysis intensive, and as a part of my coursework I have written many analytical papers on music from the classical canon, including a thesis for which I did independent research on an unstudied contemporary work. I did additional (non-music) coursework in French, German, and Computer Science (emphasis on C/C++). My degrees had a heavy emphasis on analytical writing in the field of music, but I have plenty of experience writing for other subjects, including history and english. I completed AP Calculus BC and AP Chemistry, receiving college credit for both. I also have experience helping my university classmates on an individual basis. In addition, I have studied saxophone, bassoon, and piano and have ample experience playing clarinet and flute as well. I also do part-time work as a music engraver, preparing musical scores, parts, and excerpts both for performance and for use in academic documents. This is very detail-oriented work that requires not only music literacy but also an eye for good design and a knowledge of music performance practice. I want to be a tutor because I know that not everybody innately knows how to be a good student. I believe that beyond whatever subjects one might excel at (math, natural sciences, literature, music, art, etc.), being a good student is a skill in and of itself. I have that skill, and I want to be able to share it with other people!
