OUR COMPOSITION SYLLABUS
We do know that any musical journey is full of milestones.
It takes time to learn the language and discipline to go all the way. Our approach is getting you into the place you want to be step by step without feeling overwhelmed.
Our strategy is building a plan tailored according to what you specifically need, no matter the style or type of Music you want to approach. The theory should serve the practice and not vice-versa.
At every step of the way, you will acquire the necessary concepts to help you in bringing it to life through your Music.
All the courses are divided into three modalities:
The first or “Self Directed” provides all the necessary information to achieve your goals but without any guidance from the instructor. It entails a self-directed experience.
The second or “guided by an instructor through final assessments” has the supervision of the instructor at the end of every module upon the presentation of written works by the student with the proper feedback of the instructor.
The third one, or “one-to-one lessons” modality will have the instructor guiding the student every step of the way, accommodating the concepts learned according to the student’s needs and expectations.
It is divided into eight areas of study:
-Composition for Music Producers
-Music Composition Devices for any Style and Genre
-Music Theory, Analysis and Composition Foundations Applied to Electronic Music
