Jazz Harmony - Understand the How's and Why's. Compose and improvise!

Van 34.66 $ /h

Knowledge in jazz harmony is a very important tool when going into jazz improvisation and composition. When I really started to understand how things work and why they work, the way I started to use harmony really changed.
It is not easy to explain the way music works, however, I want to share the way I was taught jazz harmony myself, as I feel it has been an incredibly valuable tool for me, and will be for others.

Composition lessons are for anyone who wishes to compose music, for any instrument, emsemble and/or electronics music.

My teaching method combines various approaches and styles, supporting practice with theoretical knowledge, and most important developing creativity and helping the student in making their imagionary visions come real.

For each student a different palate of tools is offered, according to the student's musical wishes and ambitions.

I teach the basis of western-music composition - theory, harmony, counterpoint, score-reading, solfege, rhythm, analysis and more.
Further I suggest broad overview of world, jazz, pop, new/contemporary music, various styles in electronic music (popular and experimental), improvisatory compositions, graphic notation, text and game pieces, music for theater, film and dance and interdicsiplinary works which combine music with other art fields.

Do you want to learn some cuban grooves? or maybe latin jazz?

Apart from teaching the most amazing latin rhythms, In my lessons I apply the stick control book, to achieve a good technique, and at the same time I teach coordination and grooves, with the best methods and books from the most qualified drummers.

I'm a professional drummer from Spain, but living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I have studied Latin drums at Codarts, university of the arts, in Rotterdam, so I've acquired a lot of knowledge and skills on Cuban and Brazilian music, jazz, funk and Pop.

I've performed in places such as:
North Sea Jazz Festival, Het Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Tivoli (Utrecht), Jazzcafe Dizzy, etc...

Hi! My name is Eduardo, a professional musician and long-time music teacher. I am offering physical and online lessons in Music Theory, Improvisation and Instrument.
#Harmony #Composition #Solfège #Saxophone #Clarinet #Piano

Lessons are addressed to every student profile, regardless of age, level of expectations (no matter if it is seen as a hobby or rather if the individual is getting prepared for official Conservatory auditions, etc.).

We will play and/or focus on what the student is willing to deepen into (whatever music style they are interested in, more theoretical aspects or rather practical ones), trying to get the maximum profit of the employed time, and prioritising the actual learning of the person as the main factor for their motivation.

I obtained my Jazz Music Master's program at the Prince Claus Conservatoire of Groningen in June 2022.
Previously, in 2018, I graduated from my music Bachelor's at the Conservatorio Superior de Música del Liceu in Barcelona (Spain).

The emphasis during my lessons is on technique, theory, but improvisation is also discussed. However, everything will be tailor-made, depending on the level of the student. All genres are covered. Obviously there is room for questions.

Learn to play the electric bass or acoustic bass!
If you are interested in what role the bass has on a band and what kind of possibilites exist then this class is for you.

We look at a song of your choice and study useful elements from it so that you can apply these concepts in your playing.

We look into improvisation, technique,, and more!

I am also a composer so if you want to look into composition then this lesson is also for you.
In the lesson we will look into different methods for writing songs and dive into your ideas to try to make them stronger or to express a specific emotion through various tools.

About Me:
I am a jazz musician based in Den Haag, I recently finished my masters degree in Conservatorium Maastricht focused mainly on performance, however I spent a lot of time of my studies developing my compositions.

-Classical, jazz piano, harmony, and theory lessons for all ages and levels.
- The class length is flexible depending on the student's preference and age (normally between 45min and 1:30h).
- The lessons can be in English, Spanish, and Catalan.

1- Classical: For adults, kids, and people who want to become professionals.

2- I teach different aspects of jazz:
- Playing melodies
- Improvising
- Theory
- Comping
- Improving your technique
- Working on pianistic resources that can be used in jazz.

One of the best ways of learning is transcribing from great jazz musicians. In this vein, you can understand their playing and improve yours from the knowledge learned. Besides you also improve your ear. The students learn using the ear as a main tool in my lessons.

* I also help students to prepare for their auditions for conservatories.

3- Pop and folk music: we can work on the pieces you like the most

4- Harmony, theory, and composing

Learn to play the saxophone on a fun way with other people on your same level. The group classes are usually between 2 and 4 people max.

Learning music in group is one of the best ways to keep motivated when learning a new skill. You can always switch to individual lessons if you feel you need extra practice later on.

If you don’t have an instrument yet it is possible to rent one at the classes to bring home.

Students have different aspirations and needs, but in my lessons we can focus on rhythmic variation, tempo, comping, improvisation, ear training, chords, phrasing, articulation, expression - all while learning repertoire. That is how it all comes together, therefore I encourage my students to learn their favourite songs and also repertoire that will strengthen less strong areas of their playing. This means if you want to learn how to play pocket we focus on funk rhythms, if you want to learn how to play straight groove we focus on bossa or latin etc.

With a Bachelor in Jazz Guitar in the pocket - that’s what I mostly play, we can dig into chord melody, single line playing, repertoire and comping in a variety of styles within the jazz idiom.

The first lesson will be a checkup where you are as a student in your musical development, thereafter I will ask about your goals and aspirations and what you’re currently doing to reach them. My role is to oversee this process and share what has helped me in my musical development. I believe instrument lessons need to be practical and be based off concrete exercises that will help you reach the next level. For something to manifest into your playing you have to first get whatever you’re learning into your muscle memory - practice slowly with metronome, continuous repetition over a period of time, then the brain have a greater chance of obtaining the skill. Second step is to gradually increase the tempo and play with a good time feel, by doing this you will have what you’ve learnt in your hands. There are no shortcuts when learning a skill, you simply cannot buy it - you have to earn it!

Hey hey, I'm a 22-year-old fourth-year conservatory student. I've been singing and playing piano with all my heart since I was 5.
I started teaching singing and piano three years ago (in Dutch and English) and have discovered that I really enjoy it. In my lessons, I focus on repertoire, theory, and especially the pieces the student enjoys bringing to the lesson, as I strive to make the lessons as enjoyable as possible for the student!
We also work on pieces a student needs for a specific purpose. Here too, I'm happy to work with the student to choose a piece (if they so desire) that's a good fit for them.
Do you have any questions? Feel free to send me a message!
