What People Are Saying
Francesca Peppiatt, Lyricist
Chicago, IL
“Hilary is an incredible teacher who can make even the most uninformed non-musical person ‘get it’. Her comprehensive knowledge of all types of music is obvious, but she has not allowed her experience and vast knowledge to separate her from explaining and guiding even the most novice student through the process of really learning music. I have struggled for years and closed my eyes to the possibility of ever learning anything about music, but I’m happy to report that Hilary has made some sort of light go on in those back recesses of my brain. She handed me to key that open the door to the world of music.“
Nicolle Van Dyke, Vocalist
Chicago, IL
“I walked in not knowing what exactly to expect and would walk out of each class energized by new information, which sparked a new love of music theory. So much so, I became a regular student. Hilary is simply brilliant!”
Meg Radliff, Vocalist & Sound Technician
Chicago, IL
“If you want to do anything beyond singing in the church choir, I strongly suggest some education in music theory. Hilary was the perfect person to provide this – she has the degree to teach it, is out in the community using it herself, and is able to provide the foundation you need, as well as focus on items specific to your needs and interests, without getting too deep in the subject if you don’t want to go there. I highly recommend her!”
