Teaching

I teach music making across the following disciplines, many of which are interrelated.

• Music composition:
  • Notated music;
  • Semi-notated/structural improvisation;
  • Electronic music;
  • Hybrid acoustic/electronic music;
  • Experimental music practices;
  • Acousmatic/electroacoustic music;
• Music theory*:
  • 20th/21st Century Music theory:
    • 12-tone technique;
    • total serialism;
    • set theory;
  • Counterpoint;
• Electronic music tools:
  • MaxMSP;
  • PureData;
  • Ableton Live;
• Improvisation;
• Academic writing:
  • Essays;
  • Editing;
  • Structural logic.
• NB: Music theory is taught through composition activities.

Within reason I will come to you in the following parts of Melbourne:

• Brunswick/Brunswick East/Brunswick West/Coburg;
• Northcote/Thornbury;
• Heidelberg/Rosanna/Ivanhoe;
• Melbourne CBD and surrounds.

You can read about my work, and my qualifications and experiences elsewhere on my website, but in short I hold a PhD from the University of Melbourne, in sonic practice across music and installation, along with a Bachelor of Music with first class Honours from Monash University. I am an internationally-performed composer and former professional bassist.

These music lessons are a minimum of one hour in duration, charged in 15-minute blocks after the first hour.
