Music theory and composition - Learn to write your own music

A partir de 42.46 $ /h

Have you ever listened to a song or a piece of music you like and thought: "How does this work? Can I do this myself? How do I even start?"
If so, I'd be glad to help you get started on your own music.
I'll show you around the world of composition and music theory, and help you master concepts like chord progressions, the circle of fifths, melody and scales, tension and release, instrumentation, and much more. With the help of a few useful guidelines, we'll discover what kind of music you want to make, and set out on making it.
I'm on my second year bachelors in music composition (specialized in contemporary classical and music for film and videogames), the conductor of a local choir and enjoyer of a wide variety of genres and styles, and I look forward to help you hone your creative spirit!

Información adicional

Reading music is in my opinion necessary for the more advanced theory, so if you need it, we can start the first few lessons with that
Having a piano or keyboard at home is a bonus, but not a necessity
A computer/laptop with music notation software is very handy. You can download Musescore for free if need be (it's the software I use myself)

Hi! I'm a violinist currently finishing a Master's in Music at Royal Conservatory in Ghent. I started playing violin at the age of 6, and studying with numerous professors made me realize how important an individualized pedagogical approach is for good development. My aim is to motivate students to be creative and enjoy playing music, helping them express their own ideas. A relaxed and natural technique is always one of my focuses, to avoid future injuries and to find ease while playing that will allow you to explore your musicality and feel free.

English below*

Hello everybody! My name is Alejandro. I am a professional classical pianist with a bachelor and two master degrees (one in the conservatory of Ghent "classic piano performance master" and another in Spain "teaching master"). At the moment I am also studying another master classical fortepiano in the Conservatory of Amsterdam.

I have a lot of experience teaching in various music schools, professional academies and also privately. I have given piano concerts in several countries such as Spain, England, Italy and Belgium, so I am quite open minded in my teaching and I try to adapt my experience abroad to all types of students.

I mainly teach in English, Dutch and Spanish. My lessons are focused on the individual needs of the student, taking into account what each student has to improve. Enjoying music is the most important goal in my teaching method. I can mainly teach in the student house, but I have my own keyboard in my home in Ghent Center. Online is also an option (I also have experience with this way of working). I am always available for students to send questions or doubts during the week!

Don't hesitate to contact me for all your questions.

Hello!

My name is Pablo and I am a professional cellist.
In my 20+ years playing the cello I have been lucky to build an international career as a solo and orchestral musician in places like Bremen (Germany), Sweden (Göteborg), Spain (Malaga), and Belgium (Gent). I have 4+ years worth of experience teaching online/in person, in multiple countries, as well as a C1 Cambridge certificate of English. I also have a B1 level of Nederlands. I have music articles published as well.

My philosophy of teaching is to teach my students in a comprehensive way how to use their body 100% efficiently.

I will teach them how to play in the most natural way, getting rid of tensions and fears in the process. I will tackle this as cello technique, but I will also work on being expresive and how to make the cello sing.

Thank you for your time.

Hello everybody! I'm Maria, a graduate in flute performance at master's level. Besides loving to play my instrument, I have a passion for teaching music and flute. I have had experience with children who were starting studying music and flute, including those preparing for their entrance exam to an academy! I have also worked with more advanced students, deepening the improvement of their base and technique in playing the instrument to perfect it always with a very positive working environment!

If you want to start learning to play this instrument, I can be of great help to make your first steps easy and fun! We can learn how to read notes and rythms also, and create a good playing technique with exercises to practice not only in class but also at home.

If you are already a flute student and would like to receive extra support for your lessons at school, I will be happy to work with you to get the most out of the instrument and your musical skills. I love to deepen the student's technique to teach them to work in the most efficient way possible, providing individual study techniques for practicing alone. I could also be of practical help to students preparing for a bachelor's entrance exam by working together on the pieces they are going to play and getting the most out of them.
