This is a class for aspiring composers and songwriters as well as students who want to learn music theory. I am a contemporary composer, awarded multiple times for my works in various composition competitions and I am also the author of a study on music rhetoric in relation to speech. I've been teaching music theory (theory, harmony, counterpoint, fugue, composition, popular music theory, jazz theory e.t.c.) for more than 20 years in several conservatories and my works have been presented in various, well-known, concert halls. My method is based on the needs of the student, I always try to find a specific way to approach each student, according to their previous knowledge on the subject and of course their character. My research about the relation between speech and music makes composition teaching easier and more intuitive.

I specialise in tutoring music from beginner level to secondary school, having taught in the classroom up to IB and A Level music. I have taught composition and music technology coursework in these higher level studies and have had students attain a place at Oxford University to read music. No matter if you are a performer, composer, or academic musician, a solid grasp on music theory is extremely important. I have taught theory from beginner to advanced level and can tailor lessons to specific needs. I am a freelance composer and producer outside of tutoring and love to provide lessons for those who share the same enthusiasm for this creative process. The focus will be on honing composition and production techniques and refining the musical language of the artist. Even for beginner-entry creators, learning this at the start would be excellent for development.

I'm Andres, a music producer, new to this platform. I enjoy teaching and although my approach is more on the creative side, I will give you the necessary technical tools for you to develop an easy and fluent workflow. Logic Pro is one of the best and most complete Digital Audio Workstations out there. If your passion is creating music or sound, either as a career or a hobby, this is a course for you. I offer one-on-one lessons where my goal is to show students of different ages and levels how to achieve their own, unique sound with the tools that the software provides. There will be different areas to focus depending on each student, but those include but are not limited to music theory for producers, audio engineering for producers, song structuring, beat-making and more. I will accommodate to your level of experience/knowledge in order to deliver good and valuable information to you. I look forward to meeting you! P.S: Contact me for schedule flexibility.

My name is Davide and my music experience started when I was 10 years old during my middle school in Italy. I started playing cello and I kept on studying classical music for 8 years, performing as a soloist and in many orchestras and ensembles. In the meanwhile, I started being interested in electronic music and composition for soundtracks. When I turned 17 I realized that music would have been my passion and my job. I graduated in “Contemporary Writing and Production” at Pescara Conservatory in Italy. During these studies, I dove deeper into Pop and Experimental Electronic Music, orchestration, and orchestral composition. I also had the opportunity to play in different bands and discover different genres such as Post Rock, Progressive Metal, and Heavy Metal. After my bachelor's degree, I finished my studies following a Master's program at Codarts (Rotterdam) in Creative Production. During those two years, I had the opportunity to collaborate with many people and explore different kinds of music (Turkish, Flamenco, Jazz, etc.). I wrote an Artistic Research about electronic unquantized music by analyzing the sound of producers such as Flume, Burial, and Arca. Now that my studies are finished I feel that I want to spread my knowledge and my passion to many people as possible. My class subjects are: - Music Production (from beginners to expert level, mainly Ableton Live and Pro Tools classes) - Cello Lessons (from beginners to intermediate level) - Music Theory (from beginners to expert level) - Composition and Orchestration (explore the world and joy of composing for an orchestra and how to use your DAW as a real symphonic orchestra). As a Producer, I want to let the student feel completely free to ask me whatever he/she wants. I have had many experiences as a producer and I know how to handle many different genres. My first teaching experience was at 17 years old and from that moment on I did not change my teaching set-up. I want the lesson to be an interactive moment in which the teacher and the student are sharing ideas and opinions. Feel free to apply for the lessons. I look forward to meeting you!
