About Me
Hello , so my name is Cormac.I have been writing songs for over 10 years now and have started to finally teach other people how to approach songwriting from both a lyrical and melodic angle. I was born and raised in Belgium to Irish parents and have been singing for most of my life either in choirs at school when i was younger , to bars / cafes and even on the streets of Brussels. Due to the covid situation and the lockdown i started to think about teaching more people online about songwriting and getting to grips with the basics of piano and guitar which , in my opinion are two of the best tools for writing songs.
I look forward to being able to teach you the basics of guitar / piano and / or singing so that you can start to develop your own songwriting skills and also find your own unique sound that you can share with the world!

Piano lessons for all levels and all ages.I teach Classical Piano, Jazz, Pop, Variety, Rock, Solfege and Harmony, for beginners or for more advanced levels and for all ages (children, teenagers, adults). I also work with the singers who need to learn the chords and general bases of Harmony applied to the Piano.
Bastien
Harmony and Classical WritingThis applied music theory course is for any passionate musician, regardless of level.
It aims to broaden his musical knowledge and abilities by understanding music as a whole. The goal is to be able to decode and understand how a music (not only of classical style, but also pop, jazz, rock, electro, ...) was composed, and to be able to use interesting harmonies oneself. and solid in a personal composition / production.
It is made up of two main topics:
* Harmony (building chords, understanding chord diagrams, learning to Harmonize a given melody, the possibility or not of using these Harmonies in a given style, etc.).
But also understand the key, how to build a scale, how to navigate between different keys, how to transform a classic chord suite into another style?
Harmony is a course open to all and all levels, no prerequisites to have. Any passionate musician will find interest in it, that's guaranteed.
* Writing is a much more targeted course, which is already an introduction to classical composition. In this branch, we will develop the rules of classical writing (parallel fifths and octaves, false relations etc, ...) within the framework of an exercise based on a given melody or bass (in the first case it will be necessary to invent harmonization and compose a bass, in the second, it will be necessary to invent the harmonization and the melody).
This course can also be used by academy or conservatory students who wish to prepare for the writing exam, or simply to deepen their knowledge.
