Music Composition and Songwriting

I have openings for one-hour private music composition and songwriting lessons on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in Capitol Hill. Whether you have never written a piece of music or song before or are a seasoned writer/composer who wants to go further or in new directions, I can help you learn new techniques, expand your knowledge of harmony and music theory and become familiar with all of the tools at the disposal of the professional composer.

All styles of music are welcome - I have a background in jazz theory and composition, classical and new music, electronic and computer-generated music, rock and pop, as well as scoring for film, theater and dance.

We can use either the piano and the guitar or a combination of the two in your lessons, and you will be encouraged to write new material each week, and I will prepare exercise studies for you to complete as well.

I recommend weekly hourly lessons to begin with, and we can cater the scheduling to your own requirements as we go along. I have many weekly students as well as those who have lessons every other week. It depends on how much time you will have each week to practice between lessons - I recommend a minimum of 2-3 hours per week to get the most from your lesson dollars.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

best regards,
