Is This Program Right for You?

Is This Program Right for You?

This program is for you if:

  • You’re serious about mastering composition and ready to invest significant time, discipline, and commitment.

  • You can read and notate music (or are committed to learning).

  • You’re willing to dedicate 15–21 focused hours per week to composing, revising, and refining your work.

  • You want a mentor with university-level experience and a proven track record.

Not for:

  • Hobbyists or those seeking casual instruction.

  • Musicians unwilling to work in traditional notation.

  • Producers/electronic musicians not interested in notation (even though I compose electronic music, notation is essential here).

Why Notation?

Notation is the foundation of compositional mastery. Every assignment, lesson, and feedback session is based on your notated music—so you can see, shape, and refine your ideas with clarity.

FAQ section

Frequently asked questions

You've got questions. We've got answers.

Do you accept all styles and levels?

Yes, but all students must have a basic ability to notate their musical ideas. No instruction is provided for computer/electronic music unless a notated score accompanies the music.

Do you accept all students?

No, we must have a paid consultation to demonstrate your commitment, suitability, and seriousness about lessons. If accepted, you'll receive a coupon toward the total tuition. Otherwise, consider this a mandatory application fee.

What is the time commitment?

Expect to spend 15–21+ hours per week on lessons, assignments, and personal composition work.

Why is notation required?

Notation is essential for developing, revising, and communicating your musical ideas. It’s the foundation of compositional thinking and professional growth.
