Guitar lessons for beginner and intermediate players!
In this lesson we are going to work on your technique and musical skills through playing. The process and level of the lesson will be adjusted directly on your personal needs! That can be learning some fun songs to play, all the way to learning and mastering various guitar techniques and music styles, basic music theory, harmony and analysis.
If you are interested feel free to contact me and we can set the first lesson!
A composition class that is tailored to your musical needs! This class's main purpose is to help you find your own musical language and voice, either you are a complete beginner in music or a highly skilled musician. The most important question that you will be asked is ''Why?'', in order for you to learn to have control over your musical product, sound and decisions, so that you are always sure that your musical vision is being well translated and transmitted through your work.
In this class we are going to work with:
1) Compositional techniques --- Every lesson we are going to discuss about how do you think your piece should be, and about what does your piece need. For that you will need your intuition but also your ''tools'', and those are your compositional techniques. We are going to see them in other pieces and learn how to use them through your own musical vision.
2) Instrumentation --- To write acoutic music you need your ''arsenal'' and those are the instruments that you might use. In this class we will learn the categories, material, sound, structure and combinations of every instrument. We will learn together how each instrument works and how to notate it on paper, so that you are never limited by the nature of the instrument, but instead you are going to be able to bring out 100% of your music.
3) Arranging --- To make sure that you keep your instrumentation skills, we need to put them to use, not only in your music, but also in an arrangement. Together we are going to work on changing the instrumentation in piece and making arrangements of them so that you have a better nderstanding on how the instrumentation of a piece affects directly the compositional proscess and purpose of a piece of music, but also what are the differences between the sound of each instrument while combining them. Also, this will help you make decisions about the result of the arrangement, do you want it to be true to the original, or not? If not, why, and how do you do that?
4) Music History --- Together we will listen to music and learn some basic music history so that you have a better understanding of the different styles, structures and aspects of music, from the Byzantium and Middle ages music, all the way to the music of today.
5) Improvisation --- If you are also an instrumental player, will work also with improvisation. With improvisation you can strengthen your compositional skills, by understanding your intuition, developing your ear, understanding your taste and learning to work with few material, but the most important thing is to learn how to listen and play music with others, because by learning that, you also learn how to communicate and listen all these musical ideas that you have within you before writting (playing) them, controling them and understanding what is needed and what is not in your music.
6) Film scoring --- If you are interested, in this lesson we will also learn how to adapt music to screen. We will learn how to spot the tempo, feeling and texture of a scene but also how to enhance the message of a movie/game/scene/theatre play/documentary with our music. Furthermore will will learn how to use software for midi composition, and VST instruments
7) Electroacoustic composition and sound design --- If you are also interested in electroacoustic music, in this lesson we will learn how to work with sound editting, mixing, design and engineering. We will listen and learn a lot of electroacoustic compositional tecniques to help you explore, understand and work with a complete different musical world. Our goal is to grow your musical perception and horizon.
8) Music notation and software --- For us composers to write our music sometimes we need to use some programs that help us. In the lesson we will learn how to use programs like that, like Musescore, Sibelius, Reaper etc.

Bandoneon Lessons - Learning from the instrument's techniqueBandoneon is a very well know instrument for playing tango, in fact it's part of the genre's DNA. However,
not many people know that the instrument was constructed in Germany and some people even say it was supposed to be used as an portable organ.
This means that the Bandoneon has a technique that is independent of any genre. This technique is not found by coping other instruments such as the organ or keyboard but through the development of the nature of the instrument. This is mainly the importance of the air and how it is affected by the pulling and the movement we make when we play.
Of course Tango will be an important axis of the lessons as it very important for the development of the instrument and for specific techniques but Tango won't be the starting point as it's not the best pedagogical tool for learning the instrument. But no worries, we'll get there ;)
Have you ever wondered how a Gregorian chant, Bach, Mozart & Chopin might sound in the bandoneon? The results might surprise as you would get a very different sound from the one you are originally used to. Also, we can try and use the bandoneon for different and new genres, who knows what we might discover from the instrument along the way?

De saxofoon als een verlengstuk van je lichaam: uitdrukking geven aan je gevoelens met zijn prachtige geluid!Hallo! Welkom op mijn Super Prof profiel!
Laat me mijn passie voor het onderwijzen van mijn instrument uitdrukken en het grootste belang benadrukken van het ontwikkelen van een diep begrip van geluid en ritme. We zullen een uitgebreide reis beginnen die oortraining omvat door melodieën te zingen, het verkennen van toonladders, het duiken in harmonie met behulp van de piano, en zelfs een beetje muziektheorie als je geïnteresseerd bent.
Onze focus zal voornamelijk liggen op het aanscherpen van onze luistervaardigheid, omdat dat het sleutelelement is. Let op dat onze leerbenadering niet draait om het lezen van muzieknotatie of het vertrouwen op geschreven materiaal. We willen genieten en als we ooit ervoor kiezen om muziek te transcriberen, kunnen we de tegenovergestelde weg nemen. We zullen leren het ritme te voelen en het vervolgens in geschreven vorm om te zetten.
Onderwerpen
Ontwikkeling van het geluid;
Gehoortraining;
Weegschalen (met je instrument en met de stem);
Akkoorden (ook gespeeld op piano);
Solo Transcripties;
Ritme;
Geschiedenis van muziek;
