What to expect in my Song Writing Lessons

-

It all starts with the blues ! A I-IV-V progression. We will learn harmony and see how it functions in common music. From there we look at common song writing techniques and disect some of the students favorite songs. We will go over the many possibilities for composition and have the student hone in on some of those to start writing their own music !

    Would like to speak with you. I love doing gospel and funk. Javier Tarin wrote on Sun, 15 Aug 2021

      guitar

      I had electric guitar lessons with Joshua, what I really like is his attention to details, for instance he would tell me how to position my finger to have a more clear sound, so I can have a better foundation. And also he will record a video about what we learned that day so I can have a reference when I practice. Definitely recommend Luna Wan wrote on Tue, 31 Aug 2021
