Composition Lessons
Build your craft through focused composition instruction shaped around your musical interests and experience.
Private Composition Lessons
Explore composition at a pace suited to your background and goals. Lessons can cover melody, harmony, form, notation, and revision, with time to develop original ideas and discuss your choices. Whether you are beginning to write or refining an existing piece, individual instruction offers focused feedback and practical ways to strengthen your work.
Songwriting Instruction
Work through the elements that bring a song together, from lyric and melody to harmony and structure. Instruction can help you develop a starting idea, make deliberate arrangement choices, and revise a draft with greater confidence. Bring a song in progress or begin with a blank page; lessons adapt to your interests and experience.
Music Theory for Writers
Learn theory through the music you want to create. Study harmony, rhythm, melodic development, and form, then apply each concept to a composition of your own. This practical approach can make musical decisions easier to understand and gives you tools for exploring new possibilities without losing sight of your personal style.
Score Review and Revision
Bring a draft, score, or arrangement for a thoughtful review of its structure, notation, and musical direction. Identify what is working and where revisions could help the piece communicate more clearly. Feedback is grounded in your aims for the composition, with practical next steps you can use as you continue developing the work.
