Songwriting and composition lessons

San Francisco CA

Description

Are you looking to find your authentic voice as a songwriter? Want to get some new writing ideas, chord progressions, song structures to better capture your ideas? I've been a professional musician, songwriter, and performer for over twenty years, with over 10 albums I've written, arranged, and co-produced in both singer/songwriter and electronic music genres. I recently completed my master's degree in composition and music theory, and looking forward to applying that work to my songwriting and composition students. I can provide instruction on music theory, harmony, writing techniques, and can develop your musicianship with piano, guitar, and ukulele. My specialty is really finding and developing my student's voices so that they feel they accomplished what they want with each individual song! I have my own home studio space in the mission or can travel locally in SF, and am able to do online lessons as well. Let's get your ideas together, and start leveling your songwriting up! https://derekschmidtmusic.com/music-educator
