I offer one-to-one composition tutoring for GCSE and A-level Music students, and also for those preparing conservatoire applications.
I know composition can sometimes feel a bit unclear or overwhelming, so my aim is to help you break things down and feel more confident in what you’re writing. I’m happy to help whether you’re just starting a piece or trying to refine something for submission.
I received full marks for my A level composition aswell as an A* and while I can't write your composition for you, I would be more than happy to support your composition abilities and ensure that your final piece is the best it can be. Here are somethings we could focus on in the lesson:
Developing coursework from early ideas through to final pieces
Making your ideas clearer and more focused
Improving harmony, melody, and structure
Giving detailed but practical feedback on your work
Preparing your final submissions
I am currently studying composition at the Royal Academy and I fully understand how daunting the composition application process can be, especially with many schools lacking the resources to fully support a conservatoire application. I am here to ease that process to make sure you stand out amongst the crowd in your composition portfolio and your interview. Here are some topics we could cover in lessons:
Feedback on portfolio work
Application on UCAS conservatoire
Helping you choose and improve pieces
Developing a stronger musical identity
Preparing for interviews and discussions
