About Rowan O'Neal
As a dedicated composition student with years of experience in violin and harpsichord performance, I bring a wealth of musical knowledge to my tutoring sessions. My passion for music theory, sight singing, and ear training drives me to create engaging and effective lessons. I understand the challenges students face and tailor my approach to their individual needs. Whether you’re a high school student preparing for AP Music Theory or a university student diving deeper into composition, I am committed to fostering your growth and helping you achieve your musical goals. Let’s embark on this exciting journey together!

English
1. Teaching Method and Techniques:
- Integration of Melodic Dictation and Sight-Singing: Coordinate melodic dictation work with sight-singing. What you sing is what you write. Use the same syllables and patterns in both activities. Sing and practice aurally to enhance written work.
- Start Simple and Progress: Begin with basic patterns and melodies, then gradually introduce complexity (rhythmically, melodically, and harmonically).
2. Typical Lesson Plan:
- Warm-Up: Start with vocal warm-ups and sight-singing exercises in a specific key.
- Key Exploration: Explore pitch relationships within a key.
- Melodic Dictation: Provide short dictations (one to four measures) focusing on specific pitch patterns and rhythms.
- Sight-Singing: Practice sight-singing using solfège syllables and the same patterns from dictation.
- Complexity Gradation: Increase the length and complexity of dictations gradually.
3. What Sets Me Apart:
- Performance Experience: My violin and harpsichord background adds depth to my teaching.
- Composition Experience: I actually use music theory as a composer. To me, theory is practical not theoretical: theory should be immediately useful to the making of music!
- Holistic Approach: Integrating dictation, sight-singing, and ear training ensures a comprehensive learning experience.
- I have extensive teaching experience across multiple subjects and hold a teaching certificate.
4. Target Audience:
Music Theory Classes: Ideal for students studying music theory, AP Music Theory, or related courses, or any musician who wants to increase their musicianship and musical literacy.

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to real lessons experienced by the students of Rowan O'Neal.
Perfect! Rowan is a wonderful teacher! He is patient and is great about focusing lessons on the specific needs of the student, whether it be intonation, bowing, rhythm, etc. One thing that I really appreciate is his ability to articulately explain music theory and it’s relationship to the music we play and the techniques we focus on. With his help, in just two months my intonation, bowing confidence, and rhythm have improved dramatically.!
Perfect! Rowan is great! His teaching style is constructive, encouraging, and as the student you can’t help but share in his joy for the violin. He teaches the greater concepts of music theory in a way that is accessible in order to help the student contextualize the music they're learning, which ultimately prepares them to grow into artists of their own who are eager to learn and to keep practicing.
Perfect! I love working with Rowan. His attention to details and patience in building good foundation are critical in building sustainable skill. He is also very easy to work with. I’d recommend Rowan to everyone who is looking to learn violin.
Perfect! My child is a beginner in violin, and at first, I was worried that the challenges of learning the instrument might lead to frustration or even giving up. However, Mr. Rowans's incredible patience and skilled guidance quickly sparked my child's interest in playing. I am truly grateful for an exceptional instructor who understands how to inspire and nurture young learners. My child now looks forward to each lesson with excitement, and I couldn't be happier with the progress and passion they've developed. Mr.Rowan is truly outstanding!
Perfect! Rowan is a patient and kind teacher. At the same time he has challenged my skill level. The result is a greater ability to read music and improved an tone. I' I am so glad he is my violin teacher!

I started working with Rowan as a complete novice, but quickly felt comfortable and supported. He always answers my questions and is always professional with communication. He gives me great tips that when implemented really improve my bowing. Overall we have been making steady progress and I am enjoying the challenge.
My daughter has been taking violin lessons with Rowan. She tells me that the lessons are both enjoyable and productive. Rowan communicates effectively and is oriented towards helping his students select and accomplish appropriate goals. Give his lessons a try.
