Are you looking to prepare for classical composition exams?
Are you looking for a composition teacher to prepare you for the RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music) examinations? We can find you the right music educator for the job. If you are interested in the ABRSM or another examination system we can also help you. We can also help you if you want to learn to play composition in a less serious way.
What about online composition lessons?
Online composition lessons have proven to be very essential to urban families. Online music lessons via Zoom video conferencing actually offer many benefits.
The benefits include a greater variety of choice and schedule flexibility. In-person composition lessons are in high-demand when students are free from school. These times are weekends and also between school and dinner time. With online instruction you can pick a teacher in a different time zone and get a more flexible schedule option.
There are also benefits of enhanced concentration and attention span in many cases.
Private composition lessons over Zoom work very well and may surprise you if you have been disenchanted with online group learning.
This technology really is a revelation in music education technology. When picking an online instructor for reasons related to COVID we highly recommend that composition students select a teacher from their own area. This way in the future you can get together in person with your teacher if you would like to.

What kind of a composition do I need before starting my lessons?
This is an excellent question to discuss with your composition teacher when you first talk together on the phone. Even before your first composition lesson they will be able to provide excellent local information.
What should I have ready for my first composition lesson?
For your first lesson your composition teacher will most likely ask you to shop for a few resources from a local music store. These will most likely include sheet music and composition method books. Most teachers will ask you to bring a notebook and a pencil as well.
Some of our teachers have been using online tools for lesson content management and other ear training applications. Please try to have all these requested items ready for you and your teacher to make a great start.
If your first lesson is on Zoom it is important to try a test run with a friend or family member to ensure you are familiar with how the technology works. We don't want you to spend all your composition lesson time figuring out how to adjust the volume in Zoom. Zoom video conferencing is also a free and fun way of keeping in touch with friends and family.
