An in depth look at music: exploring music theory and composition

Àpd 29.93 $ /h

Understanding music theory and composition is essential for musicians (whether performers or composers) of any genre and level. With this course, I hope to share my 10 years of experience in composition and music theory, as well as a great enjoyment for the field. I aim to exemplify the discussed theory through listening and (if applicable) playing examples, combining the established theories by discussing compositional parameters, making the playing of pieces and composing more accessible and organic.
I aim for a personalized experience within the framework of demand.

Présentation

I am a composer of classical contemporary music, currently situated in Lisbon, Portugal, originally from Austria. Growing up, from the age of 5, I started playing the violin, followed by piano, electric guitar, and drums.
Though having been trained classically, I have a vast interest in other genres of music, hoping for a more open dialogue in musical thinking. I have completed a Bachelor degree in music composition and theory at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague (Netherlands), as well as a Master degree in composition at Escola Superior De Música de Lisboa (Portugal), and will start my doctorate this autumn.

It is never too late to start or resume learning piano! My teaching experience makes me a witness to this.

Perhaps you came looking for piano lessons because you wish to be able to play some particular pieces, or to develop specific skills. Or maybe you don't know what your goal is yet, but are fond of the sound of the piano and want to dive into this wonderful instrument. Whatever the case, I am looking forward to hearing from you and discussing your next step!

I try as much as possible to tailor the work with each individual student aiming at the goals set and the student's musical tastes. This becomes more the case the higher the student's level of experience. Nevertheless, beginners are also encouraged to suggest music for themselves to learn.

The work on pieces is combined with other important activities designed to develop finger dexterity, hand coordination, rhythmic sense, music reading, playing by ear, etc. The Cortot, Hanon and scale exercises are some of my frequent choices for the technical work.

For young beginners, I defend a no-book approach during the first 2 or 3 months, for three main reasons: it makes learning more fun, it unlocks our creative potential and it allows us to explore the instrument rather confidently and freely. Instead of learning how to read right from the start, students have the opportunity to play games, listen to music, sing, compose, and improvise over backing tracks, developing the core skills necessary for any musical activity later on. After this period, it is then time to introduce them to a method book. The one I recommend the most is Piano Safari.

For teenage and adult beginners, the activities described above are selected and adjusted, and theory concepts may be introduced at an earlier stage. If desired, graded level series such as the RSL Classical or Contemporary Piano, among others, may be opted for.

Please notice that my scheduling may not always be up to date on this website, so the best way to know my availability is sending me a message. Feel free to get in touch for any other questions as well!

Looking forward to meeting you soon,

Rodrigo

I am a classical musician with over 15 years of professional experience, both in Portugal and abroad.

My main instrument is the Transverse Flute, but I also teach: the Piccolo, the Traverso and the Recorder.

I am available to teach students of all ages and levels, either at my Music Studio in Queluz or at the student's.
I also have a transverse flute for newbie students to try out.

As a teacher, the goal of each lesson is for the student to gradually feel more comfortable with their instrument, continually working on the relationship between the two.

To achieve this goal, we will work equally on the Technical and Musical components. Greater technical mastery of the instrument will allow students to express and develop their musicality as freely as possible.

Each student will have lessons adapted to his needs and objectives, being that the basic premise of my teaching technique is the pleasure of making music.

I did my academic studies in the following establishments:

- Geneva University of Music (Master in Musical Interpretation)
- Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Master in Music)
- Lisbon School of Music (License in Music)
- School of Music of the National Conservatory in Lisbon
