“As a conductor, I need to have a profound understanding of the music I conduct. Dr. Stephan Schönlau is the perfect teacher for harmony, analysis, solfeggio and composition as well as a wonderful person. I regularly ask Stephan for help and highly recommend his services.”

“I really welcome the initiative of my colleague Dr. Schönlau to create an online offer for music theory skills that addresses students preparing for an entrance exam at a conservatoire. He is an expert in this context, and the idea to help applicants – all over the world – individually via internet is most useful and modern.”

“For Stephan, music theory is no limbo of eternal rules devoid of history, but a place of contradiction and historical change. He is the perfect coach for those who seek historically-informed answers to music theory questions. As historical musicologist, I can utilise his advice in a multitude of ways and I regularly approach him to alleviate my music theory ailments.”
