Music Theory and Composition: Inspiration and Technique
course price icon
A partir de 36 $ /h
arrow icon
What do you love to listen to? How do you create music that expresses the music that has deeply influenced you? The "how do you create that" is where technique, or music theory, shapes what compels you. There are a variety of techniques because there are a variety of sound possibilities (jazz, rock, classical, etc.). "In order to create that" music in your head, the basics of music have to be learned: pitch and rhythmical relationships. The most basic examples of pitch relationships are melody and harmony.

If my availability works, I will gladly take in anyone who desires to explore all the basics and beyond. I greatly hope that any student considering lessons will read all of the information provided about myself on Apprentus. I will not begin a lesson with any student who does not answer the first five questions. Now, I believe I've covered enough ground for potential students to understand what my lessons will be about. So for now... enjoy the sounds and Au revoir!

Acerca de mí
I tend to be goofy and love being around musicians. However, I take my work very seriously and expect my students to find enjoyment while working hard. My favorite composers are Igor Stravinsky (THE KING!), Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, William Walton, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Frederick Delius, Jean-Philippe Rameau, John Coolidge Adams, Steve Reich, and Christopher Rouse. I also love indie bands/music artists like Grizzly Bear (Daniel Rossen's a boss), Animal Collective, Tune-Yards, Broadcast, Deerhoof, St. Vincent, Vashti Bunyan, Yo La Tengo, and many, many others.
