Whether you're looking for help with songwriting, melodic writing, string quartet writing, or big band writing I can help you break down the elements of what will make a successful song and arrangement.

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the teacher's students.
Perfect! Phineas was able to immediately engage our 7 year old which is a huge plus. He was well prepared for lesson one with take-home material and by lesson two, started teaching to our son's abilities and preparing assignments according to his level. Looking forward to continuing learning from Phineas!
Perfect! Phineas is excellent at explaining music theory concepts to me in a way I understand. He's patient, kind, and willing to take the time to make sure I thoroughly understand the content! I highly recommend tutoring with Phineas!
