Composing - Arranging - Theory - Jazz Harmony lessons and more

I'm a bass player and composer, a graduate from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow (UK). I've got over fifteen years of experience in teaching music and I offer one-to-one lessons in:

• Composing
• Arranging
• Electric Bass (Jazz and other modern music - No Classical)
• Double Bass (Jazz and other modern music - No Classical)
• Music Theory
• Jazz Harmony
• Notation with Sibelius software
• Ensemble and Musicianship

Although my method is tailored to each student's needs, I structure it as follows:

• Establish a connection with the pupil by understanding their needs and musical objectives.
• Design a path tailored to the pupil's goals that uses and develops any pre-existing knowledge and skills.
• Guide the student in comprehending the theory behind the basic elements of music, such as scales and arpeggios.
• Introduction to the notions of tonality, harmony and harmonic analysis.
• Development of the notions of melody, form and structure.
• Guide the pupil in understanding the application of different techniques of approaching the composing process, in order to establish a personal method.
• Understanding the specific musical language of different genres such as Jazz, Blues, Rock, Funk, Pop y Folk through listening and transcriptions.
• Analysis of scores and arrangements of other composers.
• Practical composing exercises based upon the studied techniques.

I can teach either in English, Italian or Spanish and the lessons will take place via Zoom.
