Online Composition Lessons
I offer online instruction in classical or musical theater composition. In my many years as a composer I’ve honed and developed an approach that I love to share with composers at all levels. If you’re working on a new piece and need feedback, we can go through it together and explore possibilities for improvement. If you’re looking to develop new musical techniques or strategies, I can suggest various possibilities. My focus is always on creating the most satisfying harmonic and melodic structures possible. I work with Sibelius music notation software and can also help you get the most out of that program.
Topics to explore:
- melodic structure
- chord progressions
- text setting
- voice leading
- choral writing
- orchestration
- music theory concepts
The fee is generally $150/hr.; less for regular sessions.
