It is never easy to teach music composition, but I am here to help students develop their creativity, hone their technical skills, and gain a deep understanding of the principles of music composition.
The lessons cover a range of topics, including harmony, counterpoint, form, orchestration, and notation. In addition, I offer guidance on preparing compositions for exams such as IGCSE, GCSE, IB, A-Level, and AP. I tailor lessons to each student’s level of experience and musical interests, so whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, I can help you achieve your goals.

Q&A
Prior experience is not necessary, but it will be plus. Whether you are a beginner or have some previous experience, I will tailor our lesson content to help you build a solid foundation, so that you can develop your own unique style and voice for the future.
My lessons may cover a wide range of topics, including harmony, counterpoint, orchestration, form, and notation, although you are more than welcome to suggest any areas that you’d like to focus on. Moreover, I will work with you to identify your strengths and weaknesses and develop a lesson plan that suits your goals and interests.
All you need is a computer with an internet connection, and a music notation software program such as Sibelius or Dorico. Well, and I’d encourage you to bring your own creative ideas and inspiration to our lessons!
