Technical exercises are set to nurture a deeper understanding of instrumentation/texture, harmony, melody, rhythm and structure. The classes also encourage the student to consider the connection between musical and extra-musical ideas and to explore different approaches and starting points.

About Me
I love helping my students find their voice as composers. I understand the challenges composers face and can offer guidance on process, helping composers to structure their music convincingly.I offer expertise in orchestration, harmony, melody and rhythm and am diligent in listening to my students' scores to provide detailed feedback with concrete suggestions for next steps.
I found my musical voice in Trinidad and Tobago when I began blending the sounds of local styles with my training and early career in Western Classical Music. I therefore have many years of experience assisting composers writing in diverse styles.
Education
Royal Holloway, University of London (PhD in Music Composition)Royal College of Music (postgraduate degree in Music Performance)
Cambridge University (undergraduate degree in Music)
Experience / Qualifications
I taught composition at the University of Trinidad of Tobago for nine years before moving back to the UK to continue teaching and to write music to commission.As a professional performer on French horn, I am immersed in orchestral music - this has helped me develop my instincts in writing for different instruments and I bring this experience to my composition teaching.
My original pieces and arrangements have been performed by ensembles including Sinfonia Smith Square (BBC Proms), the Orchestra of Opera North (Huddersfield Town Hall) and Chineke! (Purcell Room). Many performances of my work have been given throughout the Caribbean and the US.

Learn Piano and Improvisation and practice other languages :)The most important matter that I could write here about is my passion to teach. I've been teaching already for more than 10 years, from kids to adults. I'm a classical pianist, but I am opened to other musical styles. What I want you to get from your lessons with me, is not only a huge knowledge of theorical stuff or a great technique, I would like to show you my musical world, the imagination and inner exploration that is required to understand and to love music in a whole new level. Once you have found them, it will be very hard to quit playing!
The class duration: You can choose!
20 minutes (Great for the youngest : 3 years old)
30 minutes (Ideal for young beginners from 4 years old)
45 minutes (Intermediate+ adult beginners)
1 hour (Intermediate and combined with some Music Theory)
I use different methods depending on:
1) The goals of my student
2) The language that we will use on class
3) Age and musical preferences: I start to teach children from 3 years old, we make games and they learn to play through musical stories that I have created throughout my pedagogical career.

Music Production for composers, musicians, producersBeatmaking is the art of putting the right drums with the right melodies : but it's deeper than that.
Music composition encompasses a lot of skills and requires a deep understanding of our own tastes, culture, and social skills in order to create the most authentic sound that we can think of.

Music production and recording technology class in GentbruggeDo you want to learn to write, record or produce your own music? Or are you interested in sound design? Then I can help you further!
Music production and recording technology may seem complicated at first glance, but in our 1-on-1 private lessons we can discuss the creative and technical tools you need to unleash your own creativity.
Whether it's songwriting, recording techniques or beat making, we can do it all together. All genres are welcome.
During the lessons we can learn to work with different programs, such as Logic, Pro Tools or Ableton.
The lessons are for students of all ages and levels. Knowledge of solfège is not required.
I studied guitar and music production at the Conservatory in Ghent and have been active as a professional musician for several years. I have 12 years of experience as a private teacher.
Lessons take place in Gentbrugge near the Keizerpark.
We can determine the exact time of the lesson together. All very flexible.
Does this seem like something for you?
Don't hesitate to send me a message.
Hope to see you soon!

Let's talk about music! Musical language, harmony, composition, various analyses, music in its sociocultural context or commented readings(Important! The schedules are now closing with the students I already have, so it is difficult to specify a definitive schedule for September)
Hello! I have been teaching uninterruptedly for more than 10 years and I would like to explain to you what you can find in a class with me:
- To begin, the most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I would like to focus the classes according to what you need or want, from learning for pure pleasure from scratch to preparing for entrance tests or focusing professionally. The needs of each student may vary the methodology, the way of organizing the study sessions, etc.
- Once we know what we want to achieve and by when, classes will begin in a relaxed atmosphere. Important! Relaxed does not equal lax! only that we will try to resort to dynamic and as practical methods as possible, especially given my character and sense of humor ;).
- Something important to highlight is that I always place special emphasis on the development of hearing, musicality and the analysis of your references. Above all so that you can then make your own aesthetic decisions and feel like owner of your music.
- Last but not least, my tendency will be to give equal importance to different music. We will adapt to your tastes and needs, but here there is no room to say which music is better or worse. Each one will help us work on different aspects of the music and, if we don't know something, we will analyze it side by side until we unravel all its mysteries. The only thing I will do is work on themes and styles that can help us in each section of musical development (melody, harmony, rhythm, orchestration, production, lyrics, semiotics, etc.)
If you like what you've read, don't hesitate to contact me. Learning music is a pleasure and I would love to share it with you!
IMPORTANT!!! Due to the volume of concerts and other assignments I have, I will need to agree on a little flexibility. You will always be my priority and there will only be changes if I really can't find an alternative. I appreciate the understanding.
