Cello and Music Composition Lessons with Brian in English and Mandarin

I have been playing and teaching music professionally for close to 20 years and love teaching! My experience ranges from playing in orchestra and chamber groups to playing in experimental rock bands. I have extensive experience in helping students prepare for exams and performances. Another one of my passions is teaching music composition and improvisation. If you think writing music and improvising is something you are interested in I am the teacher for you!

Acerca de mí

My name is Brian and I am a cellist and composer who has recently moved to Hong Kong from Singapore.

I have extensive experience teaching music at the highest level in the United States and Singapore. I also have a track record of collaborating with colleagues to improve student learning and engagement and creating tools and strategies that help my students to gain a depth of knowledge, skills, and confidence.

As a composer and arranger, I am very comfortable teaching orchestration. I advocate teaching with a hands-on approach where students can hear, see, and touch the actual instruments they are writing for.

Throughout my career, I have been a champion for modern music. I believe that it is essential for teachers to teach and promote new music at all times to students. Without constant new input, creativity becomes stagnant. New, exciting, and adventurous music inspires others to create instead of mimic. Music becomes so much more than playing what is written on the page, when a person learns how to compose it themselves.

I have worked in a variety of schools, both in location and student population. These experiences have helped me develop a cultural awareness and the pedagogical tools that enable me to work successfully with diverse populations of learners. I am equally energized by teaching beginners as teaching university level performers. I believe music education should have no boundaries regarding genre. I am as comfortable teaching classical music as I am teaching jazz or rock.

Piano Lessons (Classical Music and Non classical), Music Theory, Harmony, Musical Arrangement, Composition
At my studio my students will not only learn how to play the piano, but they will receive a complete musical education in order to achieve their musical dreams. I will give all my best so everybody will get the tools for developing their own voice, helping them to master the instrument and teaching them all the theoretical knowledge they’ll need to make their particular personality shine. Openness, joy, dedication, creativity and passion for music are some of the things that you will find in the international environment of my studio. I care about who my students are and what they have to say to the world, and I will help them to develop it from the very first lesson. In my class you will not only be able to receive piano lessons but also will learn to understand how the music works as a language. If the interest and the profile of the student goes in the direction of the purely classical music performance, the lessons will be focused on a deep and conscious piano technique development, practicing techniques, musical interpretation, history of music, history of the piano, applied harmony on the keyboard, analysis, and score reading by a method that I have developed for over 15 years of experience. And if the students wish, I can help them to prepare for the ABRSM exams and competitions as well. All this is aiming to achieve in a very practical and exciting experience the best results in the fastest way possible. But if the profile and the interests of the students goes on another way, I will give them all the tools they need to understand the language of music in depth, so they can find their own voice on the instrument. In that case the lessons will include contents of piano technique, score reading, applied harmony on the keyboard, composition, improvisation, musical arrangement, music production, recording techniques, jazz and pop music analysis and performance. Both programs can be combined depending on the focus and the profile of the student, or in case the student would like to go deeper in one of the previously mentioned subjects there is the opportunity to take an independent course of specialization on the desired topic. At the end of the semester every student will perform at the winter and summer concerts held every year and will have the possibility of making a recording session with the material worked during the term. With this, the student will not only be able to see his progress and work, but also will give him a direct experience of performing and working on a live or studio recording session, which is a fundamental part of the developing process of every musician. Hope you can join and if so, I’ll be very happy to teach you!

Learn Guitar from a Certified Musician and Teacher
I incorporate technical methods and practices to help students overcome the technical challenges that musical pieces may present, including arpeggios, scales, tremolos, and rhythms, among others. I can also assist them in improving their speed in executing these techniques for both the right and left hands. I customize lesson plans based on factors like age, prior experience, learning style, and personal goals. My aim is to make music enjoyable and stress-free, fostering an atmosphere that promotes confidence in their abilities. After each session, I provide personalized notes that outline key areas for improvement, helping students stay organized and focused on their practice with clear objectives. As a patient and encouraging instructor, I continuously refine my own skills through lessons, seminars, and collaboration with other music educators, ensuring that I provide the best possible education for my students.

Let's talk about music! Musical language, harmony, composition, various analyses, music in its sociocultural context or commented readings
(Important! The schedules are now closing with the students I already have, so it is difficult to specify a definitive schedule for September) Hello! I have been teaching uninterruptedly for more than 10 years and I would like to explain to you what you can find in a class with me: - To begin, the most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I would like to focus the classes according to what you need or want, from learning for pure pleasure from scratch to preparing for entrance tests or focusing professionally. The needs of each student may vary the methodology, the way of organizing the study sessions, etc. - Once we know what we want to achieve and by when, classes will begin in a relaxed atmosphere. Important! Relaxed does not equal lax! only that we will try to resort to dynamic and as practical methods as possible, especially given my character and sense of humor ;). - Something important to highlight is that I always place special emphasis on the development of hearing, musicality and the analysis of your references. Above all so that you can then make your own aesthetic decisions and feel like owner of your music. - Last but not least, my tendency will be to give equal importance to different music. We will adapt to your tastes and needs, but here there is no room to say which music is better or worse. Each one will help us work on different aspects of the music and, if we don't know something, we will analyze it side by side until we unravel all its mysteries. The only thing I will do is work on themes and styles that can help us in each section of musical development (melody, harmony, rhythm, orchestration, production, lyrics, semiotics, etc.) If you like what you've read, don't hesitate to contact me. Learning music is a pleasure and I would love to share it with you! IMPORTANT!!! Due to the volume of concerts and other assignments I have, I will need to agree on a little flexibility. You will always be my priority and there will only be changes if I really can't find an alternative. I appreciate the understanding.
