Music composition - a deep and comprehensive approach to master the tools

A partir de 141 $ /h

Composing music is very similar to writing novels. Of course there are "novels" and Novels...and the secret to create expressive, compelling, and successful ones is the ability to write with emotions, tension, and conflict.
With music is exactly the same, and in order to to so, musicians needs to have "at arm's distance" all the tools and knowledge that will allow them "to sculpture the air in the performance into something" (F. Zappa)
As a musician, have you ever wondered:
what if I replace this A min. chord with an E min. 7 ?
is it better to stay "Tonal" or go "Modal" on this measure?
what if I establish a stronger emotional response by changing this scale fragment into a Phrygian?
shall I drive more of a rhythmic feeling by leveraging quartal harmony?
what chords could I actually ask the guys from my band to add to this measures so that my solo would sound more interesting?
how can I phrase this better to that my songwriting drives a more melodic and fluid verse?

If at least once in your "music lifetime" you asked yourself any of these questions without finding a satisfactory answer, this course might be right for you.
Please contact me, and together we will discuss your needs, your goals, your challenges.

Cheers,
Max

Acerca de mí

Hi, my name's Max and I leave nearby Zurich (Switzerland).
Since I was a little kid music had a very strong magnetic attraction on me.
Thanks to my parents, I had the chance to start playing around with keyboards and pianos since my early years, until I decided I wanted to know more and I started taking lessons.
Through the several years of piano lessons I've become a good player, but something was missing. I could read and play music sheets, but I was lacking the deep understanding of "why" the music I was reading was written that way. To mention a parallelism, "it was like being a good book reader, but without really and deeply understanding the meaning of what I was reading".
I decided therefore to start my journey towards a deeper understanding of music, its theory and principles, and this led me to learn from some of the greatest musicians; I've learned melodic development, harmony and its complex world, songwriting, etc. and I've now decided I would like to contribute a little by helping others with my very same interest to "settle the thirst for knowledge".
Hope I get to know you soon, and share together this beautiful form of art called Music.

Formación

I attended several Berklee lessons and seminars in harmony, improvisation and songwriting from some of the greatest musicians currently performing on stage, worldwide.

Experiencia / Calificaciones

I've been playing music for more than 30 years, moving from different styles (from Rock, to Progressive Metal, to Jazz, to EDM, etc.).
Played in different bands (cover and own songs) for over 20 years around Europe, and the biggest characteristic that sets me apart from lots of the musicians I've been dealing with is the curiosity to always "dig deeper" in the topic of music; I like learning new things, and understand the reasons why things are the way they are. If you're as passionate as I am, please join me on this fantastic journey and you won't regret it.

I‘m 24 years old man from Slovenia. I‘ve been playing guitar for almost 10 years now, I compose and dive deep into the and art of it. I‘m very interested in teaching and seeing how a person is developing it’s skills once they dedicate themselves to the subject. My approach is very precise and if one desires so, I‘ll teach from total basics as reading the notes and other music theory or we can also work from tabs.
I lived in Spain, Granada for some time where I‘ve been to the fountain and the roots of flamenco itself and became more familiar with it. I studied art pedagogy when I was in university in Slovenia, where I learned some pedagogy basics, but I think a teacher has to see beyond the frame and find it‘s own way of passing the knowledge. I speak spanish, english, croation and Slovenian fluently and I speak some basic German and Italian, but I started to work more seriously on both of them.

I teach at my home, but offer webcam lessons and also can come to student‘s house but charge additional costs for travel.

Since I was a walking baby, my mom said I was a musician. As the years passed, this path drew itself almost alone. Was just right before coming abroad alone when I knew this passion was bigger than anything else I have in life. It was also since then, that I realized that more than all the performance musicians that I admired I should admire my teachers that allowed me to grow and discover my full potential.
So, I perceived I want do be the creator of someone else's path and growth, both human and musically as I believe it is impossible to disconnect them, being music the ultimate form of expression.
I don't have a lot of experience but I'm young, fast at adapting to new environments, and especially willing to grow and to be my best at every moment with every particular person.

Whatever your age, playing the Violin and generally music affects your entire person positively and enriches you in so many ways. Your memory is being trained and it increases your ability to concentrate. The younger you start playing, the greater the impact on your ability to multitask, succeed, even to the extent improving your health and wellbeing over the long-term.

I am a cello teacher so If you are looking for cello lessons in Luzern, I would be glad to meet you.
It doesn’t matter if you are starting to learn the cello or if you never played it. Music can be fun to learn and explore and I would love to show you that during my lessons.

I am fluent in German, Portuguese, Spanish and English.

The lessons can have the duration of 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 mins. They can also be online, at my location or at the students location. According to each person needs and preferences.

The main goal of these lessons will be to help you reach your expectations as a cello player and as a musician, either you want to delve into improvisation, methodology or just prepare for an exam I do my best to adapt my lessons to your needs. Also along the way I hope I can help you discover new works or music genres and also help you understand musical notation.

The most important part is that you improve and learn how to express yourself through music regularly and have fun with that knowledge.
My lessons and teachings are never the same. I don’t follow just a method or a “Cello Schule”. I insert a lot of different subjects, games and improvisation during lessons to make them more creative and fun.

Every student has their individual needs and my teaching focuses on that. In the end I just want you to feel good playing the cello, develop your ear, sense of rhythm and find a way to combine your daily life with music learning in a creative way!

I hope to meet you soon!

Kind regards,
Catarina

I have been teaching piano for the past 7 years. I started tutoring piano as a side hustle when I was 16 years old and it ended up turning into the most wonderful achievement I have ever done. Over the past 7 years, I have had the pleasure of teaching children from beginners to the final exam on ABRSM.

In my classes, I tend to focus on preparing the student so they are able to take the ABRSM grades and earn a qualification at the end of it. However, each class varies, the focus of each class is to get you to your goals and help you achieve them. Each lesson is personalized and tailored to you.
