David - Bethnal Green, United Kingdom£28
£28Tailored Songwriting Lessons from Professional Writer with Songwriting MA
Trusted teacher: My lessons are heavily tailored to the needs and interests of my students, whether that be learning to write/edit/improve lyrics and melodies, a crash course in music theory, putting chord progressions together, finishing songs and developing productive routines, or adding some accountability and objective feedback to your process. Working as a professional songwriter and studying MA Songwriting has equipped me with a wealth of tools to sharpen the technical craft of a song and to harness the creative process to bring the best out of other songwriters. In lessons, I draw from this to help new writers develop their own unique voices. I'm a big believer in constantly writing and sharing so I like to set weekly briefs to encourage you to write in new ways and then give detailed and constructive feedback that will help you grow. I know from experience that sharing new songs can be unnerving so I take a lot of care helping people overcome this hurdle. Outside of classes, I'm open to discuss songs, technique, career goals, co-writing, learning resources, and other topics that will help you develop as a songwriter. I'm a professional songwriter with over nine years writing experience and countless co-writes in the tank. I regularly write with artists in the UK, around Europe, and in the US and have recently started taking my first production clients. As a writer, I'm primarily concerned by the lyric, form and structure side of writing but, with guitar as my main instrument, also usually write the majority of the musical elements. My specialities are in alt-pop, indie-rock, acoustic pop, and folk but also have experience in RnB and country.

Aman - London, United Kingdom£25
£25Photoshop, AutoCAD, Logic Pro, FL studio, Piano, Guitar, Audio plugins
Trusted teacher: Audio recording if done in right manner and with right mic-ing techniques will not depend merely on post production for it's enhancement. This consists of closed mic-ing and open mic-ing, where to use different aspects and how to apply them. For example using small diaphragm microphones for snare and larger ones for vocals. Piano It is the best tuned instrument that there is in the whole library. So, learning piano not only helps you to just play piano better but you can also do better in vocals, guitar, flute and other instruments. It's a go for anyone who is fond of music and wants to learn a instrument. Music composition This module aims to develop the students’ compositional ability using a combination of key musical understanding and the practical use of music creation software. Students will have the opportunity to investigate technical and stylistic conventions across a range of contemporary western popular music genres and to study key elements such as chord progressions, structure, harmony and melody, to develop their confidence and own abilities in composition. These sessions will explore musical composition techniques used in popular and contemporary music. The focus will be on deconstructing different works, exploring what their musical elements are and investigating what commonality these have across the boundaries of genre or instrumentation. Students will have experience of composing original musical elements and arranging these elements into complete compositions.
