Find a tutor John K
Great teacher! I am a beginner to composition, lack confidence, and I can be a little impatient at times if I'm not taking care. Anyway, John was just wonderful. With all his deep expertise, talent and experience, he was very present, and very encouraging, which put me instantly at ease, and made the lessons a joy from start to finish. Patient, kind, sensitive and considerate, his pointers and thoughtful ideas about steps to take were insightful and illuminating. His love of music and composition is palpably inspiring. Just awesome.
