Course Details
This is a beginner's course for musical composition designed for students who have already achieved a base level understanding of musical theory. However, a review of musical scales and other concepts will be provided if needed. Notes and chord progressions will be reviewed in-depth while instructor Chiara Lo Faro helps students incorporate rhythm and chord techniques to add musical ornamentation to their sound. When the student is ready to move forward, the instructor will guide them through the process of improvising for the first time. This will allow students to play music intuitively, without guidance. This is the first step of music composition.

The ipassio Edge
Students enrolling for this long term course on ipassio can be sure that they receive individual attention from the teacher, as the class strength is limited to 3 students. It also gives teachers the opportunity, to gauge their students progress in depth and make changes whenever and wherever required, to ensure the student gets the maximum out of this course. Since, long term courses are detailed, students get the advantage of learning intricate details about this art form. The limited strength of the class also ensures that there is a strong bond between the students and their teacher clearing out any inhibitions that the student might have. The sustained guidance available from the teacher ensures that the student does not deviate from set goals or targets. Learning from a revered, experienced exponent of this art form, through the long duration of this course, keeps the student inspired and motivated to achieve more.
