Private lesson Jazz Harmony, Arrangement and/or Orchestration
course price icon
From 97.09 $ /h
arrow icon
The music writing courses (jazz harmony and contemporary music, arrangement, orchestration) are suitable for all levels in all styles of music:

JAZZ HARMONY
“Understand where it all started…”
Harmony developed thanks to rules... which we always try to circumvent!
Whether in the tonal, modal or synthetic world, harmony often serves as a basis for reflection for composition, for improvisation (but not only that!...).
Let's discover together the codes and conventions that govern this universe!

ARRANGEMENT
“Understanding today’s music”
The purpose of the arranging course is to show the different stages which lead to the creation of a musical piece, whether it is sung or not.

ORCHESTRATION
“Tradition at the service of modernity”
Orchestrating means “putting timbres together” to create a sound!
In this course, we learn to manage the instruments of the Orchestra and to create sound colors according to the emotion to be transmitted... Of course, this knowledge can be adapted to all instruments, acoustic as well as electric!
Extra information
Bring a pad of music paper, pencil and eraser...

About Me
I have been a music writing teacher for over 30 years (including 14 years at the CIM in Paris).

Learning how to write music allows you to hear it better, to situate your role as an instrumentalist according to the musical style played, to know how to find your way in the sound space...

I developed my own teaching method: I drew inspiration from all the teachers I met during my studies, from all the groups in which I played, from all the music I listened to, analyzed and of course written to establish my lesson plan. The international diversity of students who have benefited from my teaching, and their enthusiastic reactions, seem to indicate that I am on a good path to transmitting past and current knowledge of music writing.

What I'm offering in my classes is not the boring and traditional way, which is too slow, boring and not always effective.
My methods always had great results on my students whether it's their first touch of the guitar's strings or they are struggling to improve their levels, or they're advanced and they want to move the next level of complex and fast pieces of music and playing like the great Al di Meola, Paco de Lucia and the great other musicians.

I put always my self in a challenge to make my students achieve their goals no matter hard it is the situation in their minds, I always make it easy and smooth to be done through different strategies and methods.

I've been teaching guitar in different countries and i was always happy with the success of my students and I've been always impressed with some great talents within them..

My name is Jason and I've been playing guitar for over ten years. I studied music at University in the UK and went on to complete a Masters in Music Composition. After finishing my studies, I turned my attention to live performance. Over the past few years I have been working primarily as a session musician and guitar tutor in and around the London area, UK. As well as teaching guitar I have performed in jazz ensembles, accompanied vocalists, hosted jam sessions and recorded with various artists whilst also occasionally working in musical theatre and improvisation projects. I now reside in Luxembourg where I teach guitar.

Although I specialise in jazz and Brazilian guitar, I teach a wide range of styles including pop, rock, blues and classical. Whether you're just starting out with guitar or you're a more experienced player, I can help guide you in the right direction with your practice. As well as teaching guitar, I offer tuition in musical theory and improvisation, as well as music composition.
