One 45-minute private lesson each month, four group sessions for feedback, and the same course access as the full lessons package.
Bring what you're writing. We work on your music, not exercises. Between lessons, the group sessions and courses keep the work moving.
Before you enroll, book a consultation so we can talk about your music and goals. If you have questions first, email me at kevin@uremusic.com.
Six short excerpts from my studio seminars: open and close position, the phrase model, authentic cadences, orchestration notes and more. It's free, so you can see how I teach before you sign up for anything.
