Volunteers for teaching/studenting

I studied classical piano (so teacher on paper) and composition for about 7 years. i wrote music (classical/orchestral style) since I started with music, must be 1985 or so. I love to talk about music composition, structure, orchestration etc. If i can be helpfull here, I volunteer! I especially like to teach music (did this by the way for real...) because it makes me more conscious about how music works. That is the great thing about talking about things.

I would like to be a teacher, focus in modern music, originality, non-functional harmony/atonal, etc., with a side focus in film and game scoring. And I use both Sibelius and Finale.

I'm glad this got off the ground.

with a side focus in film and game scoring

Dude.. can I like, yell "shotgun" for you or something?, I'd love me some of those kind of lessons, too bad I don't really know the basics enough to stray from them.

When will this get off the ground?

I would love to learn from Daniel or Lee =]

I'm considering volunteering, but since I don't do much educating (aside from my fugue crash-course), I'd like to see how others put this together first. It's at times like this I would especially miss my lack of a formal education.

This is exactly when you don't need that! It's about passing on what you have learnt for yourself - and your music is testament to your knowledge, so "formal" is clearly not a requirement.

@MeaningofLife, we're hoping to get it up and off the ground soon - just some things to be decided upon first.

I can't wait.

I'm volunteering to be a student, by the way, and depending on the ''curriculum'' I might teach as well.. Doubtfull though

Although it's pretty logic, the function "number of posts vrs. date" can only determine the activity of the member, not his/her knowledge or composing level (I asked about this long before). Anybody con be a teacher only if he/she consider their knowledge and/or wisdom is high enough to answer to the stundents in a very effective way.

^ I completely agree.

I don't have a teaching experience but If anybody will be interested, I don't mind giving some private lessons on composition.
