Song-writing (Song-writing skills; Composition skills using music software; Song-Writing Coaching)

In this class, I provide song-writing coaching, personalised to the student, which encourages both the technical and creative sides of song-writing with a view to eventual performance. More than twenty years of song-writing experience, professionally (working with clients UK and overseas) plus personally for my own song-writing / singing career (search for my singing pseudonym Liz Arcane for more information), plus a life of obsessive devoteeism to song-writing new and old, means I can help you however you need: to make one song for an event or to develop your craft overall.

Extra information

This class is highly personalised; please contact me with more information and any questions.

The class is taught in:English
Hello! I am an experienced GCSE English Teacher (Secondary School teaching for more than 5 year) as well as being an experienced tutor. As well as teaching numerous GCSE students, I am a KS3 English HOD, and also have just completed a Master's in Children's Literature. I am a writing professional with a great deal of experience (particularly in creative fields such as poetry/song, creative writing and journalism), on top of my degree in Creative Writing / Drama (2:1).
I am an experienced public speaker, actor, singer and performer (as well as composer/songwriter, for which I have posted a separate class) with experience teaching music (guitar, piano, voice) and voice for LAMDA (Drama, Public Speaking) but also singing (LCM Music Theatre; Rock School; ABRSM). I teach Voice holistically, by which I mean I feel use of the voice as a muscle can be developed through speaking and song dependent on a student's needs, abilities, and of course their comfort zone.

Learn guitar from a professional musician. Electric and acoustic, rhythm and lead. Also teaches songwriting and music production.
Hello, my name is Stefan. I am a guitarist with over 30 years of experience. I have performed live, written songs and recorded in high end studios all over the world. I have also taught guitar for 20 years, from kids just starting out to experienced players wanting to step their guitar skills up a notch or two. Whatever your age or proficiency, whether you want to play guitar as a hobby or professionally, I can help unlock the path to greater skills and enjoyment. I will help you realise your potential and show you how to reach it. Do you want to entertain at parties with classic rock and pop songs? Or do you want to send your fingers to boot camp to improve your speed and accuracy on the guitar? Maybe you would love to jam along to your favourite blues albums just for the fun of it, or you might be aiming for a spot among the great session players, supplying tasty licks and flawless rhythm playing in a variety of styles and genres. I have done it all and helped many others along the way. I teach both acoustic and electric guitar, rhythm and lead, in a wide array of musical traditions. If you are just starting out, we will start with your favourite guitar songs and go from there. If you have been playing for a while and feel like you don’t know how to gain more freedom on the fretboard, I can help you unlock it. If you are an advanced player looking to add nuance to your playing and polish your technique, I have a bag of tricks for you. I am looking forward to meeting you and would love to be a part of your guitar journey.

Guitar, music production and songwriter lessons for students of all levels in the Lake Zurich area
The program will be tailored according to the student goals. (leisure, professional development) focusing on; basic knowledge of the guitar, basic chords and more advanced chords, scales and modes, theory and practice of improvisation, study of a repertoire, right hand technique (fingers or pick), music theory and rhythm, Logic Pro X, basic sound engineering and music production techniques and songwriting skills. An understanding of what are the goals and interests of student, as well as their skills is the most effective way to pass on knowledge.

Eyal
Piano, Music Production, Song Writing, and Music Theory
Eyal has taught hundreds of students over the past 15 years, both guitar and piano next to music theory and composition. Besides his formal music education (a bachelor's in composition, a teaching degree from the music academy in Jerusalem, and a master's in composition from Codarts, Rotterdam), Eyal has acquired experience in a wide range of various musical styles, including Rock, Blues, Jazz, classical music, electronic music, and contemporary music, on which he bases his rich approach which can be adjusted to every student separately. Solos, chords, improvisations, heavy distortion or acoustic guitar, playing at a party or jumping on stages, reading notes, or playing by ear. Maybe you know exactly what you want, and maybe you are not sure. In Eyal's view, the job of the teacher is to help you find that out, and guide you through your process. Johann Sebastian Bach or John Lennon? Sergei Rachmaninoff or Freddie Mercury? Regina Spektor? Nina Simone? Maybe Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Complex harmonies or simple melodies? Classical pieces or modern tunes? The only right answer is what you find interesting.

James
Song Writing Lessons by experienced songwriter and composer
I am a 32-year old guitarist, songwriter and composer based in Den Haag, songwriting, composition, electric and acoustic guitar, in combination with music theory. I teach in English or in Greek. I am half Greek and half Scottish and I have been living in the Netherlands for the last 4 years. I offer lessons in all styles, to all age groups, and for any experience level (ranging from students who have never written a song before, up to experienced songwriters who are looking for fresh ideas and improving their skills to really make their songs shine). Face to face lessons are preferable, but I also teach online. I am a patient and open minded teacher, and my desire is to help you learn what you want to learn, and make sure you enjoy and take pride in your songs, learn to express your musical ideas as best as possible and nurture your curiosity and excitement about the world of music creation ! My Credentials: I hold a Bachelors of Music degree from Birmingham Conservatoire (UK), and a Masters of Music from The Hague Royal Conservatory. My experience as a songwriter and composer ranges from writing songs and singing in indie / off-beat rock bands, solo guitar and vocal performances, home-production of my own songs, creation of instrumental post-rock music, collaborative songwriting in bands, composition of works for classical players, creation of ambient, experimental and electronic music, creation of music for film, and I even some experience in beat-making. I have written songs, I have written orchestra pieces, I have worked as a DIY home producer, I have released albums, and I've performed in concert halls, rock venues, squats and festivals. I My music has been performed in and has taken me to several countries, including Portugal, The Czech Republic, The U.S.A., Canada, Korea, Greece, The U.K., The Netherlands. My Teaching style: My emphasis is to teach you based on your interests and your needs. The lessons are based around each individual student. You bring me the music you are creating and the skills you want to develop as a songwriter, and I build my lessons around that. My primary goal is help you develop your voice as a songwriter, so the starting point for our lessons will always be your music, and then I build our lessons around that. My aim is always to help you find what the heart of the song is about, and help you to bring this out and really make it shine. To help illustrate ideas about topics we discuss I will bring examples that can help inform the music you are creating, we will explore ideas of arrangement, orchestration, band leading and / or production to help flesh out your songs, and we will explore music theory too when that is helpful for us and / or if that is interesting to you. For more experienced songwriters we can explore how to write parts for other players, how to notate and orchestrate songs for acoustic instruments, how to record songs, or how to get the best playing out of your bandmates to help your song shine
