My composition and creative music lessons focus on developing each student’s individual musical voice through a combination of analysis, practical writing, and guided experimentation.
We study scores and explore music in detail to understand how different composers achieve particular effects, and to identify what works well in music and why. This analytical approach is used to inform and inspire students’ own creative work.
Students are given structured composition tasks to complete between lessons, designed to develop specific skills and encourage consistent creative progress. I provide formative feedback on this work to help refine ideas, strengthen technique, and develop more effective compositional writing.
I also offer targeted support for GCSE and A Level composition coursework, including guidance on developing ideas, improving structure, and refining final submissions to meet assessment criteria.
The aim is to build confidence in composing, arranging, or songwriting while developing a deeper understanding of musical language and structure.
