Formed in 2008, Composition School has over 14 years of experience helping all levels of music-creators get their original music out into the world.
From total beginners to advanced composers, we have helped many music-writers learn more about a specific area such as modes, reharmonisation & modulation, or how to use MIDI or Sibelius music notation software.
Other music-writers who work at the piano have benefitted from keyboard skills and harmony sessions. Whatever it is you need to develop in your music, we are here to help you and we will offer you exactly the right teacher.
All styles of composition are covered, from album music to commercial projects, to art house, to concert hall music, to film and games music.
Whether you are writing simple piano pieces ,orchestral film music, songs or electronic music, we have exactly the right teacher for you: a teacher who will help you develop your strengths and address your weaknesses.
Our lessons are delivered via Zoom. All we ask is that you email your teacher your fresh work ahead of each session.
The teachers at Composition School were so encouraging from the start. They helped me work on my music and record an album which I'm very proud of, 'Amergin Fire'

Rory is an excellent teacher. I have learnt a great deal from him in a short period of time. My only wish is I had started earlier! He is an excellent communicator, and his deep knowledge, experience and love for music make the lessons both interesting and very useful. I have learnt more from him in a matter of months than years of other methods.

I always knew I had music inside of me, and you taught me the skills I needed to turn my melodies into full pieces of music. I loved learning about it all. Thank you Composition School!

Max is a great teacher who opened my eyes to many avenues of music I didn't know existed.
