After an initial assessment of the student’s musical strengths and weaknesses, Hilarie develops a curriculum that is specialized for the needs of the student.
Hilarie is passionate about the importance of music theory and aural skills. Her strength in teaching music theory is her focus on applying music theory to all disciplines in music. She is able to “cross reference” each theory concept with its historical significance, answer most questions of “how” and “why” the concept was used, and show the performer and or composer of how to apply it in one’s musical interpretations or compositions.
“It is not enough to understand music theory in “theory” but to play it, sing it, and hear it for all musicians. ” – from Hilarie
Hilarie reinforces the importance of the practical application of music theory through the study of aural skills: sight singing, keyboard skills, and harmonic and melodic dictation.
