Practical Harmony and Composition: Understand Music and Create Your Own Works
course price icon
From 19 € /h
arrow icon
Have you ever felt like you're playing but don't really understand what's going on in the music? As a Music Master graduate from El Bosque University, I've designed a functional harmony method that eliminates excessive theory and focuses on immediate practice.

My experience as a composer for the performing arts (Paul Mesa's work) and arranger for HBO/Stereo Picnic has taught me that harmony is a tool for freedom, not a list of boring rules. In my classes you will learn to:

Understanding chords: Intuitive construction and connection on the piano.

Composing and Arranging: Professional Techniques for Structuring Your Own Songs.

Real Analysis: We'll understand why your favorite songs work so you can apply those tricks to your own music.

I will help you unlock your creative autonomy so you can stop relying on tutorials and start making your own musical decisions.
Extra information
The classes are virtual and personalized. Whether you're a self-taught musician looking to organize your knowledge or a student needing academic support, we'll tailor the study plan to your specific goals. Having a keyboard or harmonic instrument on hand during the session is recommended.

About Me
Hi!

I'm John, a professional musician and graduate of El Bosque University with a major in Composition and Arrangement. If you're looking to stop seeing music as a set of boring rules and start sounding like a pro, you’re in the right place.

My approach isn't just about teaching theory—it's about giving you the exact tools I use to work with global brands like HBO. My goal is for you to feel in total control of your creativity.

What will you learn with me?

Contemporary Singing: Forget about vocal fatigue. I teach modern techniques (Mixed Voice, Belting) with a total focus on vocal health, so you can sing with power and freedom.

Production in Ableton Live: From creating your first beat to signal routing, mixing, and sound design. I’ll show you the real-world workflow of a professional producer.

Harmony & Composition: I simplify the complex. You’ll learn how to use chords and structures to write your own songs intuitively and professionally.

Why choose my lessons?
My sessions are 100% personalized and practical. I don’t waste time on theory you can’t apply. Whether you want to master your high notes, produce your first track, or understand the harmony behind your favorite songs, I’ll design an exclusive plan for your goals.

Let’s make your music stand out! Book your first session and let’s start creating for real.
Education
Bachelor of Music – El Bosque University (Emphasis in Composition and Arrangement).

Contemporary Vocal Technique – Advanced training in Vocal Health, Mixed Voice, and Belting.
Experience / Qualifications
Professional Experience
Vocal Coach (SOUL Music Academy): I specialize in the vocal development of contemporary artists, focusing on mastering Mixed Voice and Belting. My main priority is vocal health and injury prevention, teaching students how to sing with power and freedom without fatigue.

Music Arranger for Global Brands: I have created original musical arrangements for high-impact projects, such as the HBO space at the Estéreo Picnic 2025 festival. This experience allows me to teach professional quality standards and real-world industry workflows.

Composer and Sound Producer for Performing Arts: I have a solid track record in creating soundscapes and original music for theater and performance art, such as Paul Mesa's "Who Rules in the City of the Dead." This provides me with a holistic view of music as a narrative tool.

Active Producer and DJ: I manage my own musical projects (gonxxee, xuul, and 82 noventa), integrating production in Ableton Live, mixing, and live performance. This allows me to teach from daily practice and real-world experience, rather than just theory.

Do you want your ideas to sound professional? As a Music Master and active Producer, I'll teach you how to master Ableton Live, the industry-standard software, so you can take your songs from the first beat to the final result.

In my classes you will learn in a 100% practical way:

Workflow: Organize your creative process to finish songs faster.

Sound Design and VSTs: Learn to choose and create the right sounds for your genre (Urban, Electronic, Pop, etc.).

Signal Routing and Mixing: Understand how to achieve clarity and power in your tracks using equalization, compression, and effects processes.

Industry Techniques: We will apply the same standards that I use in my professional arrangements for brands like HBO at Stereo Picnic 2025.

My goal is that you not only learn how to use a program, but that you understand the fundamentals of audio so that your productions have identity and competitive strength.

The therapeutic approach of the piano is one that is characterized by generating a musical practice with the piano focused on the well-being of the person who takes it. You can play a lot of music and with the best possible level, but "dislocation" is always treated as "getting out" of the ordinary and "productive" demands to dedicate time to playing the piano, leveling up but without mortifications, because the piano could also become a "monster" since there are very difficult piano pieces and issues.

Classes are held at home in the city of Bogotá or nearby. The essential condition is that whoever takes them has a natural and intense interest in the activity. There are no age or gender limits.
