Nuno Torres Marques Music Theory Lessons in Den Haag

Private Lessons Music Theory - The Hague

If you want to know how a songwriter or composer works and what the tools are used when you write a piece of music, or if you want to produce your own music, music theory is super fun, interesting, indispensable and enlightening.

Composer and Musician

I am Nuno Torres Marques, composer and musician. I would like to tell you more about the background of the music. We discuss what your musical preferences are and which way we are going!

Musical Grammar

Insight and knowledge of music theory give you guidance in your interpretation of the music you play. Of course knowledge of music theory is indispensable when you compose music. Complicated and difficult? You can think of it as grammar, which helps you better understand the language (music).

Improvising and Melody

By learning chords and harmonic functions, you gain insight and guidance in building melodies and solos. So you learn a basis to improvise more interesting solos, if you want to play jazz for example.

Music Theory - Harmony at the Piano

It is ideal if you have a piano or keyboard, so that you can see and hear how things work in practice. We use the methods Microjazz (R & B / Pop) and / or Jazz Hanon (Chord-Melody) - Harmony (chords / scales, tonalities / progressions, modulations, rhythms, time signatures, circle of fifths, etc.)

CD - Online Audio option

These methods above also have a CD or online audio option (play along), so you can practice and play at home too.
