Yannis - Rotterdam, Netherlands£33
£33Experimental electronic music composition / Free improvisation (theory & practice)
Trusted teacher: Experimentation is an inherent characteristic of electronic music. Nowadays, composing music using technology creates endless creative possibilities that demand the musician/composer to adapt to numerous technical and artistic challenges. Do you like experimenting with sound and making music that does not clearly belong to a particular genre or style? Interested in bringing a fresh perspective and out-of-the-box thinking to your music production? Are you just starting out in electronic music composition and wondering how to develop your own style? This course is just what you need. In this class, you will learn: - how to transform sound using analogue and digital techniques. - how to create sound structures and organise them in a DAW enviroment to compose a piece of music. - how to record, edit and mix sounds using both conventional and experimental techniques. - how to use improvisation in both the context of live performance and composition. - about the theory and practice of free improvisation. - about the history and origins of electronic music and how it affected the music we listen today. - how to document and communicate procedures related to your artistic practice. - how to create an artistic portfolio. Aspiring musicians with a background in any genre can take advantage of this course. A formal education in music or experience with electronic music composition are not required to follow. However, you should be unafraid of experimenting with sound and music technology! Each class is customized to meet the needs of the individual student in an innovative and flexible way! The course can also serve as a preparation for applying to several Dutch educational programmes related to electronic music composition (Institute of Sonology, HKU, ArtEZ, etc.). The class is focused on small assignments that help the student develop a sense of orientation and set goals. Recording, editing, and mixing will be done via the DAW "Reaper," but we can switch to your preferred software at any time. We will use the first lesson to discuss your background, interests, and motivations in order to develop a course structure that is tailored to your needs.

Danny - Antwerp, Belgium£30
£30Songwriting course with intensive and result-oriented methods
Trusted teacher: SONGS generally consist of chord and text lines. But where does that information come from and how do you make something out of nothing? How do you make that one great hIT or how strongly does your new song affect your love? Well, that's called "inspiration processing" and how does that work? Well, I'll tell you that in my course. If you already play the guitar or piano, you are one step ahead. Your instrument is like a trampoline that offers you more options to go further and higher. Most 'songs' are born at the craziest moments. A good songwriter his / her antennas are always open :-) and for some it is a continuous activity. During my course I teach you through all sorts of tips and tricks (including: Travel Chord Duo Method - One Four Five and minor input - Key Word Designation and Relative Chord Progressions etc.) how you can achieve strong songs. For me it is a daily activity and I have been writing all my life for others and sometimes for myself. All in all I have sold more than a million copies worldwide as an author / composer / performer. Is that little or is that a lot? I do not know. It doesn't interest me that much anymore. I want to share my knowledge about how to write a song with motivated people who want to go further than just replaying others' songs. Whether they get stuck somewhere during composing and who are not afraid to seek advice. Music is a life flirt. There are only two types of music: good and bad ... Do you have a foundation of chords, do you want to know how to make a good song .....? Just book an hour to get started. That is the scan hour. Are we lying together and is there a click? If you book and I confirm, then you also know who I am and where I hide :-) Not satisfied after the first 'lesson'? Money Back. Danny

Erica - Znojmo, Czech Republic£36
£36Inspiring guitar, singing, ukulele, songwriting & music theory lessons with native English speaker
Trusted teacher: I am an Australian musician currently living in beautiful Brno! I have been teaching, recording and performing music professionally since 2013 and have a degree in jazz vocals from the Victorian College of the Arts in Australia. I have also undertaken intensive private study in jazz guitar and double bass. I specialise in teaching: - Guitar, ukulele & double bass skills for singers & songwriters - Singing skills for guitarists, bassists, pianists and other instrumentalists - Singing & vocal coaching (absolute beginner to advanced) - Guitar & ukulele tuition (absolute beginner to advanced) - Double bass tuition (absolute beginner to intermediate, French bow & jazz pizzicato technique) - Music theory, songwriting, lyric writing, composition & creativity (absolute beginner to advanced jazz theory) - Home recording & music production - Lyric writing and pronunciation in English (for non native speakers) I teach all contemporary genres, and many of my students are singer-songwriters who play guitar, ukulele or bass while singing. I am a friendly and patient teacher, and love teaching beginners as well as advanced students. I tailor my lessons to your own goals, skill level and interests, and prefer to teach a combination of your own favourite songs plus song suggestions from me that I think will help you improve certain areas. I love teaching songwriting, and enjoy when students bring their own songs to work on in lessons. If you have never written your own song but secretly dream of trying I am the teacher for you :-) I find it easiest to teach in English, but can also communicate in German (A2) and Czech (A1).

Gabriela - Guadalajara, Mexico£24
£24MUSIC 🎼 VIOLIN 🎻 VIOLA • PIANO 🎹 • VOICE 🎤🎧 LEARN HOW TO PLAY AND MAKE MUSIC! I CAN TEACH IN 6 LANGUAGES!
Trusted teacher: My classes are held online around the world. I can teach in English, Spanish, Russian, Italian, French, German or Portuguese. I am a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory in Russia where I lived, studied music and arts and worked as a ballet teacher, languages and music teacher. I have professional equipment such as cameras in different positions and degrees since it is essential that the student has different optics of both the piano and my body posture. We start with music theory and practice at the same time choosing pieces of preference for the student. The real objective of the class goes beyond the music per se ... but rather a spiritual-intellectual integration which results in genius through music! Music is the hook to touch the soul. Russian piano education focuses on fewer, more challenging pieces. The music will be learnt from memory and much of the learning is done through teacher demonstration. - Solfeggio First of all, what is solfeggio? Also known as 'solfège', solfeggio (sometimes called sight-singing) is the ability to read and sing music at sight. You may have heard this phrase before: 'Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do'. This is a method used to help musicians sight-sing. The Russian piano teaching method is often complemented by the use of solfeggio, and it is commonplace that when Russian teachers do use it, they use the fixed do, meaning C is always do, regardless of the key. With the British piano teaching method, solfeggio is less commonly used, and when it is, moveable do (the tonic is do) is used. As you can probably decipher, this makes the Russian method of using solfeggio much more challenging. - Attitude Without wanting to cast a generalisation across Russia, their learning method has been known for strictness, discipline and controversy. It leaves many wondering: Is the Russian way of learning the piano more demanding? Frequently, Russian piano teachers I work with joke about the harshness of teachers in their youth. The method is trying to achieve excellence in piano playing, but encouragement and discipline are used to varying degrees. I mix my adventuress, feisty, serious, exotic, disciplined and wild personality and the outcome are my classes!

Chris - Cheetham Hill, United Kingdom£36
£36Music Production Lessons from a professional producer with 7 years of experience and credits including Walmart, CBBC & Batwoman.
Trusted teacher: Professional Music Producer with 7 years of experience in music for artists & for film. Credits include Walmart, Pandora, CW Channel, BBC and more. Remote & in person music production lessons for beginners & upwards. About the lessons: I want my students to discover their own creativity & way of doing things with music production. I'm a strong believer in what sounds good, is good. I take a no one size fits all approach with my students and tailor each lesson to best serve your interest. I use Ableton Live, however most skills are transferable between DAW's. We will go through production techniques and how best to use them. I also encourage students to share any work in progress tracks so we can go through them and fine tune. We can work out of my studio in Manchester or online! Length of lesson: 1hr-3hrs Age: 16+ About Me: Hi! I'm Chris. I've been a professional music producer, artist and songwriter for the past 7 years. I have had many successes with my creative approach to production, including producing music for supermarket giant Walmart for their online advertising campaigns, securing placements with CW channel & Batwoman and more! I feel many learning resources for music producers are based around a "one size fits all" approach, which, from experience is rarely true. Music is creative and subjective art which should be emphasised with the production.

Etienne - Paris, France£41
£41DJ/Producer gives MAO lessons (music on computer)
Trusted teacher: Hello ! I'm Etienne, I'm a professional electronic music producer and guitarist. I have been practicing MAO (computer-assisted music) for more than ten years, notably within a Techno music group in which I was able to train in sound engineering with a qualified engineer. of INFA. I was also able to perfect my approach to composition by training with a teacher at the American School of modern music Paris. I'm part of a Techno duo Sana + Nasa (more recently renamed "AZA:ZEL"). We are in the artist catalog of the booking agency La Quarantaine, our music has been published on labels such as SCTR, Carcères Records, Jaelos and Afterhours and we have had the privilege of playing several times in Paris, Berlin and Zagreb. I also had the opportunity to do podcasts on The Techno Children and Eletronic Subculture and finally on television on Clubbing TV (international broadcast) I started teaching music (electronic music and guitar) in 2019 and I regularly give lessons to around ten students, both girls and boys! Everything can take place in my studio as if by video. I give lessons for both advanced level students and beginners who have no experience. I currently have a Techno project, a beatmaking project (selling pop, rap and electro instrumentals) and I am also part of a metal band... which means that I teach several styles of music ! Together we will be able to discover: - composition (arrangement) - Mixing and mastering - DJing I can also advise you on the equipment you will need (a computer and a good headset are more than enough at the start) and I will help you install everything you need, free installation ;) There are 1000 training courses on YouTube, the only problem is that there is food and drink, a lot of training provided and not always in the right order. I first started learning computer music on my own and it was a long process! Especially because I had to unlearn a lot of things. As a teacher, I will be able to support you in your learning and guide it so that you can ingest the right information in the right order and ensure that you have understood it perfectly. In short, I will save you a lot of time, time which can be counted in years of learning. One of my students started with me 5 months ago, he started with almost no knowledge of computer music, today he plays regularly for Darude and his latest creation will be released on a label. I'm not going to lie to you, he worked a lot to get there, but what he achieved took me years to do and it very probably couldn't have been done without training. With a little work and rigor you could be the next to achieve this feat! If you have any questions about the course, do not hesitate to send me a message. See you soon, I hope, Stephen

Experimental electronic music composition / Free improvisation (theory & practice) (Rotterdam)
Yannis
We just have started to work with Yannis, but I am really happy about how we progress and feel inspired and looking forward to future lectures. Yannis teaches me to develop a vision on how to approach working with sound, while recording, processing and using it in electronic composition. I would say he is opening my mind in a way toward the analysing a character of sound as a compositional element. I like that lessons are not only just about a particular technique (and there are so many to learn from Yannis), but about developing a workflow and a mindset. Examples from historical electronic pieces to listen and analyse from legendary electroacoustic composers are really inspirational. After each lesson there is a home task and in the following lecture there is an analysis of the results and based on that Yannis gives lessons on what needs to be changed, improved, pay attention to etc, in order to develop compositional skills. I highly recommend Yannis as a teacher, if you are into modern experimental electroacoustic composition and improvisation.

Ableton Live Tutoring / Techno Artist / Experienced Tutor (Utrecht)
Riza
This was my first time taking music production lessons, and Riza goes through the basic fundamentals of the software and music-making process. He adapts to your level and the difficulties you encounter. He gives you feedback on what to adjust and correct, as well as giving examples. I would definitely recommend him for anyone wanting to try electronic music-making.

Electric and Acoustic guitar lessons in Belgium with Ignazio (Sint-Agatha-Berchem)
Ignazio
Ignazio is a patient and friendly teacher who's clearly passionate about playing the guitar and sharing his craft with others. The classes are structured and clear. You'll get the right information and the techniques are corrected from the beginning, so you won't need to unlearn some things later.
