Composition Lessons for all ages and levels - Find Your Own Musical Voice!

From 85 C$ /h

I am a Finnish composer and conductor currently living and working in the Netherlands. Whether you're completely new to composition or an experienced musician willing to explore new ideas, these lessons are designed around your individual interests, goals and musical background.

We can work on anything from the fundamentals of melody, harmony, rhythm and musical structure to advanced compositional techniques, orchestration, musical analysis and developing your own compositions. My own speciality is in classical and contemporary music, but all genres and styles are welcome, and we can surely find inspiring ways to develop your musical writing and thinking.

My teaching approach is personal, flexible and practical. I believe that learning should be an enjoyable experience. It's important to me that a student feels safe, and that there are space for mistakes, experiments and of course the joy of music.

There is no single right way to make music. Let's find yours!

As many musical instruments, piano tells a story, expresses emotional experiences, communicates desires and wishes.

This class is for people (teenagers, young adults, or adults) who have always had the passion for piano but never had the opportunity to learn how to play. This class is also for those who simply want to improve their piano skills, going from a beginner to intermediate level.

This class has two major focuses:

1. For beginners: main focus on on piano practice, learning new songs with incremental difficulty, and understanding of the music sheet.

2. For intermediates: main focus on intermediate/advanced songs with in depth comprehension of the music sheet.

Skills you will acquire:

1. Beginners: you will learn how to play basic piano songs and obtain a basic knowledge of the music sheet.

2. Intermediates: you will learn how to play more complex songs and obtain a more advanced comprehension of the music sheet. Furthermore, you will learn the basis for piano music composition.

I want this class to keep students challenged, but absolutely not overwhelmed. So, I will evaluate the few homeworks that I assign after every session and provide constructive feedbacks, in order for you to better learn.

The most important thing in my class is discovering ‘your own unique voice.’ The focus is on understanding your body, discovering your own unique voice, and using it freely. Recognize the information contained in your own voice and work together to find out what you want to express through your voice.
It could be jazz/improvisation, a theater song or a pop song. The goal is to be able to sing with your own voice without any genre restrictions.
