Composer offering courses on composition/orchestration

Hello all,

For those who do not know me, my name is Nikolas Sideris and I currently live in Greece. I hold a PhD in composition from Royal Holloway, supervised by Brian Lock and Phillip Cashian (now head of composition in the Royal Academy of Music in London) and my other academic credentials include a diploma in piano and degrees in harmony and counterpoint.

I have taught composition and orchestration for quite a few years now online and face to face and I thought that it is time to advertise further, so here I am!

I'm taking in students interested in learning more about music, composition, analysis and orchestration with an emphasis (but not limited) to contemporary music. The courses are tailored for each individual and communication can be done with a number of different ways, either via skype voice chat (or MSN), through a webcamera, text chats, e-mail exchange or a combination of those.

Following are a few links with my music as well as a few examples of my scores, in PDF format (watermarked, sorry...)

Prices are very reasonable and payable either by bank translfer, or paypal, or any other secure ways we can agree on.

Finally, as already mentioned, I try to be as flexible as possible, which includes the lesson length, excersizes, frequency on a monthly bases, etc...

Thank you for your time,

Nikolas

I would be very interested in learning more on this. I am currently completing my Gen-eds in preparation for a transfer to a university here in Illinois for composition. Perhaps these would help me beef up my works a bit and make me more desirable. What are your rates?

J,

I've PMed you, since I'm also trying to be flexible with my pricing methods. If you feel that any of the info in the PM is public worthy, by all means post it here. I don't mind! :)
