Composition and Film Score Classes | Award-winning composer (RTVE) with a Master's degree from the USA | All levels

From 47 C$ /h

I offer one-on-one lessons in film composition and soundtrack creation, tailored to your specific goals, whether you're a beginner or an advanced musician. As an award-winning composer (RTVE Award for Best Film Score) with a Master's degree in Composition from Kent State University (USA), I bring to your table an internationally renowned methodology.

My goal is to share with you the same creative techniques I use in the professional industry and have taught at high-performing American institutions. In my hands-on classes you will be able to:

-Learn with a professional vision: From the fundamentals of harmony, counterpoint and the development of motifs, to advanced orchestration and compositional fluency.

-Create soundtracks: Discover the narrative tools applied to music for film, television and video games, guided by an internationally multi-award-winning composer.

-Develop your own voice: Overcome creative blocks and bring your own musical ideas to life in any style or genre.

-Academic preparation: If you are looking to pass entrance exams to the conservatory, I will guide you with the utmost rigor thanks to my teaching experience backed by a Master's degree in Teacher Training.

Classes are available in person at my studio in Terrassa or online, and can be taught entirely in Spanish or in English to focus on the global market.

Extra information

-First strategic session: We'll dedicate our first meeting to assessing your level, listening to your ideas or sketches, and designing a clear roadmap. I'll apply the same methodology I used with my university students in the United States to ensure we progress in a structured way toward your goals.

-Industry-specific materials and tools: You don't need to buy generic manuals. We'll work with customized resources, scores, and exercises based on my real-world experience in the audiovisual and orchestral industries. I'll teach you how to use standard professional tools, including notation software (Sibelius, Dorico, MuseScore) and DAWs for music production.

-Technical requirements: It is recommended to have a basic understanding of music reading or playing an instrument (ideally keyboard or piano) to test your sound ideas. If we start from absolute scratch, I will adapt the materials to build that foundation together.

-International focus: Having developed much of my career and training in the USA, classes can be taught entirely in English or Spanish. This is ideal not only for international students, but also for preparing yourself linguistically and technically for the global music market.

I'm a musician, composer and producer from the UK with more than 20 yrs teaching experience.
I give classes for guitar, bass guitar, theory, composition, arranging, mixing and production in English with intermediate Spanish.

I have my own approach to teaching drawn from my own inspirational teachers and the experience of teaching, performing and recording for over 30 years.

I adapt to the needs and goals of the student, but a typical 1st year class for guitar would involve focusing on a variety of pieces in different styles and suggestions of any helpful technical exercises, reading, rhythm playing, expanding chord/harmony knowledge and supporting theory. In time I would include new techniques as required by the piece and style and improvisation/composition to follow the student’s interest.

I have developed an accelerated program with the goal of the student playing their favourite pieces as soon as possible. My constant aim is to find the right balance between student motivation and a thorough musical grounding, equipping the student for the future.

If you're starting or improving guitar or need help with your songs ask me anything.

From the perspective of a concert pianist, I provide a comprehensive variety of adaptable lessons suitable for students at all levels. My teaching covers a broad range of music genres: from classical to jazz, pop, neoclassical, and film music.

With over a decade of experience as an educator, I specialize in preparing students for internationally recognized music examinations such as ABRSM, Trinity College, and the Conservatori del Liceu in Barcelona. However, i set the personal goal of each student at the center of the lessons. I have also spent four years teaching at a school affiliated with Liceu, fostering musical growth in students.
