Composition and arrangement classes in Madrid (theory, counterpoint ...)

From 34.6 Fr /h

To create the best context for learning music it is very important that you like the music you are composing or playing and that you enjoy the process. That is why I like to offer a wide range of possibilities and discover together with each student what is the best way to go. And the answer is always in the tastes, desires and expectations of the one who is learning.
I believe that technique, improvisation, notions of musical composition, theory and analysis should be learned through the music that you like to compose and the music that you already know how to play. And not as an abstract knowledge. The best way to assimilate music is by writing and playing it and facing the challenges that each piece, song or composition offers.
It is important to remember that music can be made from scratch regardless of your level or age.

Extra information

The student will be provided with all the material during the class: books and scores in pdf format, music to have as a reference so that they can listen and study ...

CLASSES IN SPANISH, CATALAN, FRANÇAIS, DEUTSCH, ENGLISH

I teach singing, piano, music awareness/introduction and solfège.

I live in Madrid and I am a student of a Higher Degree in Singing (Jazz and Modern Music). I dedicate a good part of my time to teaching (musical and linguistic) in the format of private classes online or at home.

I started giving private classes at home to children when I lived in Germany. During the 22-23 academic year I gave piano classes to students of all ages at the RedMusik Music School (Igualada, Catalonia).
I studied the piano and other instruments for more than 15 years at the UGDA and at the Luxembourg City Conservatory of Music. After many years of music theory and piano I obtained the „Première Mention“ certificate from the Conservatory, with the qualification "Très Bien".

A good music lesson should include not only technique and reading sheet music, but also theoretical and harmonic study, improvisation, recreational playing with the instrument, and ear training and rhythm exercises. I am interested in designing the lesson creatively and adapting it to the needs and desires of the student.

I hope I can encourage you to move forward with your musical learning, and if that's the case, don't hesitate to write to me with any questions you may have :)

See you soon!
Aurélie

I graduated with honors from the "Amadeo Roldán" Conservatory in Havana as a lute player, instrument teacher, and ensemble practice teacher. I also perform in the execution of the guitar, the piano and the Cuban tres, as well as group work.

This class is aimed at those who are interested in learning music, either theory or practice. This is a discipline that requires rigor and demand, something without which it would not proceed. The passion and love for this art will play a transcendental role in the assimilation of the contents and the importance that can be given to it.

*Instrument technique
*Musical language
*Improvisation and composition
*Accompaniment modes
*Different musical genres and styles

Graduated from the Conservatory with both a degree in classical music and popular music. I studied singing, piano and composition for more than 15 years, acquiring tools both to be a singer or solo pianist, and to sing and play accompanying myself in my own works and songs.
I think of musical learning as a set of tools that help us transmit. In that group, I work on musical language, theory, music theory, instrument technique, writing and reading, improvisation, all this on different musical genres.

I have been a teacher of all ages and levels since 2006 and I enjoy and learn more every day.

Discover the world of drums, percussion, and music theory with fully personalized lessons

My approach as a teacher is based on a simple yet essential idea: every student is unique. That's why I design each class taking into account your level, interests, and goals. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to refine your technique, I adapt the content so you learn in an enjoyable and meaningful way.

In the area of drums, I'll guide you from the fundamentals, such as posture, stick grip, and reading rhythmic scores, to rhythms and styles that inspire you: rock, pop, funk, jazz, Latin, and many more. If you already have experience, we'll delve deeper into technique, independence, complex grooves, and creative fills, always with room to explore your favorite musical influences.

If classical percussion is your thing, you'll find a specialized space where we'll work on technique and repertoire on marimba, snare drum, timpani, vibraphone and multi-percussion.

And to give you a solid foundation to support your practice, I offer applied music theory classes. Far from being boring, we approach it practically: rhythmic and melodic reading, harmony, ear training... All geared towards helping you understand and enjoy the music you play more, whether for composing or performing in a group.
