About this gig
Unlock the architecture of music. Are you looking to write complex orchestral arrangements, master the art of the fugue, or dive deep into the structural mechanics of your favorite pieces? Whether you are a student looking to conquer academic music concepts or a composer wanting to expand your creative toolkit, I am here to guide you. My lessons are carefully structured to bridge the gap between rigorous academic theory and practical, creative application.
What I teach:
- Music Appreciation & Analysis: Deep dives into musical structure, including comprehensive Schenkerian analysis.
- Harmony: Advanced Jazz harmony, as well as traditional academic harmony spanning the Classical and Romantic periods.
- Counterpoint: Linear and imitative counterpoint, including inventions, fugues, and the mastery of musical forms.
- Modern & Atonal Theory: Neo-Riemannian theory, Pitch Class Set theory, and Dodecaphonism (12-tone serialism).
- Composition & Arranging: Specialized writing for choral ensembles, full orchestra, and specific solo instruments.
- Instrumentation: Implementation of extended techniques for violin, cello, flute, clarinet, and piano.

FAQ
What platform do we use for the lessons?
I typically use Google Meet and Team Viewer for our sessions. These platform allow for high-quality audio sharing and screen sharing, which is essential for analyzing scores or listening to musical examples together.
Do I need any specific software or equipment?
A stable internet connection and a microphone are required. While not mandatory, having notation software like MuseScore, Sibelius, or Finale is highly recommended so we can review your exercises and compositions in real-time.
What levels do you teach?
I cater to all levels. Whether you are a beginner looking to understand basic scales and intervals, or an advanced conservatory student needing help with complex topics like Schenkerian Analysis, Neo-Riemannian theory, or Dodecaphonism, I can tailor the curriculum to your needs.
Can you help me with a specific composition or academic project?
Absolutely. We can use our sessions as a "Masterclass" format where we focus entirely on your current work—providing feedback on orchestration, voice leading in counterpoint, or structural coherence in your arrangements.
What is your rescheduling policy?
I understand that life happens. I ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to reschedule a session. Lessons missed without notice or canceled last minute may be counted as delivered.
Do you provide study materials or exercises?
Yes. After each session, I provide lesson notes and, depending on the topic, custom exercises or PDF resources to help you practice and reinforce the concepts we covered (STANDARD OR PREMIUM PACKAGES ONLY).
Can we focus on specific genres like Jazz or Classical?
Yes. My expertise covers a wide range, from traditional Academic Harmony (Classical and Romantic) to Advanced Jazz Harmony. We can dive deep into the specific language of the genre that interests you most.
