Apollonio Maiello: Composition Tutor
Classical Music Composition Teacher​ Online
Apollonio Maiello
"During my lessons, I help every single student to achieve their ideals in music. Whilst finding out where their passion in music composition lies, I mentor them in their creative journey by asking questions, analyzing their compositions, and, whenever necessary, diving deep into other composers' work. Together we discover the students' own individual voice. I encourage them to be proactive and engage in constructive and critical discussions about music composition and therefore getting closer to their goals one step at a time."
