    Improve your musical creativity with personalised classes from multi-Instrumentalist singer and improviser

    Do you wish to learn writing music from scratch or improve your composition skills without a necessity of music theory knowledge? Do you want to produce your own music but struggle with the technical aspects?

    I'm a multi-instrumentalist singer, songwriter and performer and I offer applied classes on writing/arranging/producing pieces of music using various instruments of your choice, including your computer. I use a 'learning by creating' method, where we focus and go deeper on certain aspects depending on your needs on your music creation process. I like to use personalised methods that matches your desires, rather than following a certain curriculum. The goal is to help you gain or improve awareness on how a piece of music is written and learn various ways to begin and finalise a writing process.

    During our practices, I will naturally be transferring my knowledge on certain aspects such as:

    - Rhythm
    - Form
    - Dynamics
    - Texture
    - Melody making
    - Singing
    - Guitar playing
    - Placing words into music/making music around words
    - Improvisation as a compositional tool
    - Integration of Ableton Live into creative process
    - Recording
    - Mixing

    During the sessions, we'll either write together from scratch or work on your own material and tackle the issues of constructing a piece of music. Please contact me if interested, then we will have a first video call where we get to meet each other and discuss where you stand and your wishes. This way I can create a personalised program that suits your level and speaks to your area of interest.

    Extra information

    We can technically use any type of instrument to work on creating music, and I have a variety of instruments in my space.

    About Me

    I'm a multi-instrumentalist singer, songwriter, performer and music instructor. I write and perform music for almost a decade, both solo and in collaboration with various artists from different backgrounds.

    My ultimate objective is to facilitate and engage individual and collective experiences leading to progress and evolution in all aspects of life using variety of skills in a musical landscape. By instructing private classes and group workshops, I manage to share my experience and vision in making music to the ones with passion to music and in need of a mediator towards original creativity.

    I enjoy working with younger people a lot. I'm always excited to help them enlarge their vision on the world of sounds and also getting inspired by their fresh ideas. It is a great pleasure to witness a young talent creating their own musical character and putting their ideas out to the world by making use of the education they get from me.

    Collaborating is one of my favourite things to do as an artist, as well as an instructor. In my group workshops I enjoy creating music together with the other people, while helping them improve their skills and enlarge their vision. When I teach private classes to adults, I approach it as a collaborative creation process and use a 'learn while you create' method, where we work on musical material together and challenge any obstacle getting on the way of my student's creative process.

    Education

    Master of Music Design at HKU Music & Technology:

    I've focused on composition, performance, sound design and music education during my two year master education. I specialised on the approach 'improvisation as a tool for composition', which I often apply in both my creative processes and in educational environments.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I took part of many music groups as a singer, drummer, guitarist, bassist and percussionist, with different styles of music. In my solo project Yank; I compose, arrange, produce, record and perform my own songs.

    I'm a member of Amsterdam based vocal improvisation ensemble Genetic Choir, where we explore the limits of human voice and use it to create instant compositions.

    I also work a lot on sound design and electro-acoustic production using the computer as an instrument.
    Do you want to learn the basics of Ableton Live, or improve your skills on it, or wish to develop advanced techniques to better use it as a compositional and performative tool? I'm here to help! I'm a songwriter and performer, producing and performing music using Live for over a decade. I've been working on Live as my main DAW for recording, editing, arranging and mixing. Depending on your needs, our classes could be more technical about how to best use all the features of Live, but could also be focussed on using Live as a creative tool for your productions.

    Singing lessons in English for all levels by professional voice teacher, vocal coach and singer
    I'm a former New York City voice teacher/coach, professional singer and an award winning composer who has relocated to Berlin. I've taught with the most reputable children's musical theatre organizations in NYC (TADA!, Brooklyn Children's Theatre, The Neighborhood Playhouse) with students of all ages as well as private students and I've worked with Broadway stars such as Laura Osnes, Karen Mason and Ron Bohmer, who have also recorded my music, and I'm excited to bring my 20 yrs of teaching experience to Berlin! I teach songwriting as well, if that is something you're interested in. I'm a classically trained singer who performed with the San Francisco Opera and other companies both in opera and musical theatre for many years. Though I specialize now in musical theatre, I am happy and comfortable teaching you to sing in whatever style you prefer. The basics are the same! In our lessons, we will work on breath, correct vowel pronunciation, placement, diction, etc... as well as getting rid of the tension and habits that keep us from singing freely and beautifully. We will also work on the musical and dramatic aspects of the material we choose together, so that you will feel comfortable at an audition or a performance. And I keep lessons fun so that you can both learn and progress each week AND enjoy yourself! Whether just starting out or a professional who needs help working on an audition or role, I can help you reach your goals!

    Professional Workshops - Dj Classes on CDJs / Turntables / Controller - Ableton, Rekordbox, Traktor, Mixing, Loops, Cues, etc
    I'm a DJ, producer, and composer. I've been making music since I was very young. I specialized in electronic music quite early on and now make it my profession. I'm half of the Discult Soundsystem duo, managing the Lets Discult label and promoting parties through the label. I also compose music for different types of media such as commercials, video game music, etc. Passionate about DJing above all else, it's behind the decks that I get my kicks the most, and I'd be delighted to pass on my passion! I have my own style of music, but would be more than happy to adapt to yours for learning purposes. --- I perform regularly in Berlin in clubs such as Watergate, Sisyphos, Hoppetosse, RSO, Golden Gate, etc., as well as abroad, most recently in Belgrade, London, Amsterdam, Paris, etc. --- About the course: Sessions last 2 hours and are generally done in a group, of 2-3 people, simply because it's friendlier, cheaper, more dynamic in terms of learning, but above all because you have observation time when another student is practicing, which leads to questions and realizations. The course can also be done in 1-1 if you're more at ease solo, and for a more effective learning experience focused on you and your learning pace, searching/discovering techniques to find new music (dig), organizing your libraries, your playlists and setting up an efficient and intuitive music management system. Lessons take place in my studio, where there are 2 CDJs and 2 vinyl turntables (learning on vinyl is a little more expensive, as records and playback diamonds wear out a lot and need to be replaced regularly). During the course, we'll also cover the theory, values, and precepts of this art form, as well as techniques and tricks of use and creations to enable you to prepare and record your own mixes. --- 📍 My studio is located in Kreuzberg, next to Kottbusser Tor 📍 __ Of course, don't hesitate if you have any practical or technical questions. I am looking forward to playing music with you. Alex

As your piano tutor, I want to teach you how I learnt piano, and show you how to be creative with music, at the very least for enjoyment, but also for any professional aspirations into composition. I start by familiarising my students with the fundamentals of music at the piano, how the piano is structured, arpeggios, baselines, chord sequences, melody sequences, etc. We take these fundamentals and build sophistication of musicality with a dynamic curriculum. Lessons are structured by familiarising with musical concepts by a demonstration, playing together, and playing solo in a way that aims to be accessible and sensitive to the student’s sensibilities.
