Looking for a composition teacher

Hi everyone!

I've been searching everywhere for a composition teacher, but without success. Any suggestions on where I can find one? I tried to find a composition teacher locally (I'm from Singapore) but sadly it seems that most of them are more interested in avant-garde modern music rather than classical music.

Also, if any of you are interested in teaching composition, I would love to learn from you! I've been listening to many pieces posted here and I'm really impressed by you guys' compositional skills and creativity.

Regarding myself, I am currently a secondary school student and I want to learn the classical/ early romantic style of composition. I've attempted to compose my own pieces without guidance, but they didn't turn out as I had hoped. I understand that composition is not easy to learn, but I am ready to learn from the basics. I play the piano and have some basic music theory, so learning composition won't be a completely fresh start for me.

If you are interested, please feel free to leave a comment here or drop me a message! Your recommendations or willingness to mentor would mean the world to me 😉

Best regards,

Edit: misread, now I see you wanted a private message.
Edit 2: double misread, I'm dumb, you wanted either. Well too late, I sent a message.
