Melanie - CanadaC$101

C$101Learn to compose songs and also singing / piano

Trusted teacher: Whether you've never created songs, played instruments or sung, this course is for you. It is not necessary to know how to play an instrument or sing, but of course I recommend it. I can help you on that too, having been a singing and piano teacher for several years now. I adapt the lessons according to your needs and level. But all in all, the course is focused on the creative side as much to the composition as to the approach to the instrument if there is. Learn from A to Z how to ignite the spark of creativity, avoid the syndrome of the page up, the technique and the basics to write a song, how to interpret his songs, etc. Accompanied on the piano, and even accompanied by my entire sound palette from my studio, I can help you give musical wings to your words. Even if my mother tongue is French, I can help you write your texts in English.

Guillaume - Paris, FranceC$70

C$70Composition Electronic Music - MAO - Sound Techniques

Trusted teacher: Composer of electronic music since 2001, I developed a pedagogy specific to electronic music since 2005, in particular within the Technopol, Hadra and Musiques Tangentes associations, for an amateur or professional audience. I also graduated from the Pantin conservatory in electro-acoustic composition. The idea is to work on your own compositions, identifying the techniques that can help you progress. The ideal is to undertake this work over the long term, but it can also act as a one-off aid. I mainly use Ableton Live 11 software with Push2, but we can also work on Logic, Cubase, Reaper, Fruity Loops, etc.

Iago - Amsterdam, NetherlandsC$83

C$83Piano lessons: What about learning how to play the piano?

Trusted teacher: Piano is the instrument used by the romantics to make their most beautiful music, but also by the most experimental and modern composers to create their craziest music wonders. Isn't it a great instrument to play? With more than 5 years of experience teaching in music schools and 15 years as a private piano teacher, I developed an efficient and "fun-but-efficient" way to teach how to play the instrument. Every student is different, which means the way to play and learn shall be different, making every single lesson special and rewarding. I also offer the possibility of teaching in groups: if you want to know more about this option. Hope to see you soon in our class!

Konstantin - Leipzig, GermanyC$86

C$86Music Production & Composition Lessons with Professional Musician & Teacher (Royal College of Music London, MA Composition)

Trusted teacher: I offer lessons in composition, especially film music, orchestration and music theory for students (including prospective students), schoolchildren and young people, advanced and experienced and simply interested people in Germany. I completed my Master of Composition at the Royal College of Music last summer and have now moved back to Leipzig. Since the lessons were held in English, English- or Dutch-speaking students are also welcome. Film music is an increasingly popular specialty of composition and is therefore on an up and coming path and not just popular among the younger generation. Classical composition is also an important part, which is why I offer a range from Vaughan Williams to Wagner and John Williams to Hans Zimmer (orchestral music - computer music).

Danai - Amsterdam, NetherlandsC$93

C$93Private piano lessons, music theory, solfège, composition

Trusted teacher: I am teaching composition, piano, theory/harmony, & ear-training. I graduated from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam as a contemporary composer. I am very open to the stylistic choices of the students and adapt the lesson to fit their particular needs or interests. When it comes to composition, I'm coaching anyone who needs advice as to how to write their own music, how to develop their compositional tools, song-writing skills, how to translate conceptual ideas into practical material. This also applies to children, who might want to get the basics of making their own song, either on an instrument or on the computer. My approach to teaching piano is highly influenced by my composition studies, both in stylistic diversity and in pedagogical methods. I find it important to teach piano in an overall way, one that incorporates ear-training but also theory together with playing. This way i find that the lesson becomes much more stimulating, and it also becomes much more easy to learn. I have experience teaching adults but also young kids between 4-15 years old. I believe it is never late to start learning music and that learning to make music is firstly a fun and then a challenging adventure.

Alejandro - Barcelona, SpainC$48

C$48MUSIC COMPOSITION CLASS, FILMSCORING, ARRANGEMENTS, CLASSICAL HARMONY, MODERN & ORCHESTUATION

Trusted teacher: My methodology is based on the student's interests and previous experiences. Using extra-musical analogies, I look for the best way for the student to understand the topics to be discussed, relating them to different professions and knowledge of everyday life. One of my main objectives is that the student does not lose motivation. My way of addressing this problem is to create personalized exercises for each student, because not all of us learn in the same way.

Xico Ribas - Amsterdam, NetherlandsC$84

C$84Play only what you like! - Piano lessons for all levels and all styles

Trusted teacher: Music is Play! and everyone is it's own game. Read, understand and make only the music you like. I think if it isn't fun, it can't be music:) I studied a classical piano bachelor, and later a jazz master and a live electronics master. In the meantime, I have been teaching music. It's longer than 9 years now! Most of my students learn piano. With the starter ones, I use my own system to equally help them grow all the needed skills: body consciousness (to avoid lesions or bad habits), music theory (including writing and reading) and improvisation. Usually most songs are made of melody, chords and rhythm. From there, I can help you understand how a song works, how is it written, how does it translate to the piano... and voilá! You'll know the song by heart, and will be able to play it a bit different every time, because you won't be following a set of pre-imposed instructions. You will understand how a small system (a song) works. This way of learning can be applied to any song, from any century or style. Understanding is key! Play Chopin, write rock songs, play Monk, Bill Evans, the Beatles, make a lo-fi beat, play Beethoven, play the Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Star Wars, play video game music, play salsa! bachata and make people dance, laugh or cry. Music is very powerful! PD: I have also experience imparting electronic music lessons in Ableton Live and Max MSP, which is now a very important part of my professional practice. In case you are interested, it is also possible to mix the two worlds and create a any kind of path between piano, synths, beats and home studio techniques. Ask me anything, I'll tell you how I could help!

C$33Musical training

Trusted teacher: Being a graduate of the Conservatory of Le Havre in solfège and piano, I offer solfege lessons. Unfortunately, living in the studio, I can not teach you the piano.

That's why I propose you either music theory support courses or complete courses on this training. Of course, we will go at your own pace!

Patrick - Amsterdam, NetherlandsC$48

C$48Ableton Live - Getting your ideas down into a workable format to create a full working track! No prior knowledge needed!

Trusted teacher: I specialise in making music with the computer when there isn't a whole bunch of theory knowledge there. I can teach you to quickly and efficiently make that tune in your head into a reality, then turn that into a full track. If you have tried a few tutorials or courses and they didn't fit with you because of all the engineering jargon and theory based approach, this course is for you! I learnt to make music because I was hearing all these songs in my head but wasn't good enough at any instrument to materialise them. Ableton allowed me to hash through ideas, jam with them, then finally turn them into a full working track. I have also worked as a live and studio sound engineer so I do have the theoretical knowledge but can communicate in the language of learners from all different levels. I think there are a lot of people that just need to express what they have in there head and Ableton is by far the best program for that. It is very intuitive, "jammable" and so much fun! For me Ableton is my instrument but I also play the drums, piano and bass.

Gonzalo

Gonzalo is everything I look for in a teacher. He brings tons of enthusiasm for every lesson — he really listens to my goals and brings material to support and guide me to achieve them. He has a great flexibility in the way he teaches, so he can adapt to a wide range of learning styles. Gonzalo is also a fantastic player (as can be seen from his YouTube channel). But most of all, our lessons are great fun and I genuinely look forward to them each week. Book him for a lesson — it will be the best decision you make all year.

Pia

My 8 year old daughter signed up for a singing contest at school with no experience or knowledge in music. We did get in touch with Pia and she was able to give a few singing lessons within a short period of time. Yesterday my daughter performed very successfully in the contest. Pia is not only able to teach singing, she also has the ability to motivate and inspire and she has definitely awaken the interest in music to our daughter. We are very happy that we have met Pia and hope to see her again.
