Music Composition, Harmony and Orchestration – From Concept to Score

من 83.4 AED /س

In my lessons, we work deeply on harmonic analysis, counterpoint, and musical structure across the full spectrum of academic music from all historical periods, as well as jazz and popular music. A central pillar of the classes is the analysis of composers, which we approach as an essential tool for understanding musical language and developing a personal creative voice. Depending on the student’s interests, analysis may range from Mozart to Debussy, or from Beethoven to Bartók, among many others.
A strong emphasis is placed on counterpoint from all historical periods. I assist students with conservatory-level exercises, and we study contrapuntal techniques through the analysis and practice of Bach’s inventions and fugues, Renaissance counterpoint, and 20th-century contrapuntal approaches.
In composition classes, the content is fully adapted to the student’s creative needs and goals. The focus is on developing practical creative tools that support original thinking, with the clear objective of composing original pieces of short, medium, and long duration, tailored to each student’s artistic direction.
For orchestration, we explore writing techniques for a wide range of ensembles, including chamber music, full orchestra, and popular music formations such as quartets, quintets, big band, and tango orchestras. Particular attention is given to instrumental color, balance, articulation, and idiomatic writing.
As an Argentinian composer and educator, I offer a specialized perspective on tango, including in-depth analysis of composers such as Astor Piazzolla, as well as composition and orchestration techniques related to tango. Due to the geographical and cultural proximity, I also offer classes focused on Bossa Nova, exploring its harmonic language, rhythmic structures, and stylistic characteristics.
Lessons are suitable for students at different levels, from beginners to advanced musicians, and are tailored to individual academic, professional, or creative goals.

The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

Hello! my name is Sarah. I have a certificate in Classical Piano Performance. I have years of experience in teaching music in different languages (Arabic, English, German and French).
In 2020 I finished my master's in Music Therapy in Germany. At the end of my studies, I did my research on online music playing and wrote my thesis on music interaction through online platforms which gave me a great deal of experience when it comes to online teaching. In my online lesson, I use several cameras from several angles to give the student the chance to see what I am doing.

Learn to play guitar in a fun and easy way.
Unlock your fretboard and understand what
melody, rhythm, harmony, scales, modes
and intervals are. Music theory can seem
complicated at first but you'd be amazed of
how easy and useful it is once you break it
down into simplified lessons and exercises.

I am serious and I like serious students!
But I enjoy sharing happy and funny moments with my students too, and the secret is in customizing the materials for each student taking into consideration his background, age, expectations, and needs, so the learning process will be productive and enjoyable at the same time!
I like to push my students to their limits, keep them excited, and challenge them so they give the best of what they can!
I am not only a composer, but a musicologist, theorist, and pianist too! so I can cover all that my students need from simple songwriting and basic music theory and musical form to the very complicated compositional technics, harmony, counterpoint, and music analysis, passing by the art of arranging, orchestration and instrumentation, and I always give special attention to the Arabic music theory and practices.
SO, LET'S DO SOME MUSIC TOGETHER!

A course to learn the bouzouki or oud instrument for all age groups and for children over 7 years old.

You can learn from scratch if you have no previous experience

For students who have previous experience, we can follow up from the current student’s level.

The course curriculum varies from one student to another depending on his level of education on the instrument.

For students who have no previous experience, we start with special exercises for the right and left hand to play the instrument correctly and comfortably, in addition to learning to read the notes and solfege correctly, and then we continue and gradually increase the degree of difficulty of the exercises until you become able to play any note you want.
