Creative empowerment begins with individual and group sessions designed to unlock artistic potential through guided exploration, improvisation, and collaboration. These sessions lay the groundwork for a deeper connection with one’s creative essence, cultivating confidence and authentic self-expression.
Our sessions at School for Creators are designed for musicians, vocalists, and composers of all levels. Whether you are just beginning your journey or refining your artistry, we meet you where you are—with a focus on creativity, embodiment, and the joy of music-making.
Our piano sessions welcome students of all levels and musical backgrounds. Instruction integrates classical training, improvisation, and creative interpretation.
We approach music as a living language—one that is learned through immersion, conversation, and listening. Activities emphasize active listening, ear training, and intuitive musical response to help students develop fluency and confidence at the keyboard.
Students engage in a multi-dimensional practice that may include:
Technical skill-building and repertoire study
Harmonization and chord recognition
Playing by ear and transposition
Improvisation and expression
Rhythm development and musical phrasing
The goal is to help each student become not only a skilled player but also a creative communicator through the piano.
Voice sessions are guided by the principle that the voice is a natural and powerful instrument of the soul. We support students in cultivating a deeper relationship with breath as the source of sound, allowing the voice to resonate with ease and freedom.
Our holistic vocal approach includes:
Breathwork and vocal freedom techniques
Healthy vocal habits and sustainable practice routines
Emotional presence in performance
Expressive storytelling and interpretation of lyrics
Song structure and phrasing through narrative arcs
Students learn to connect more deeply to the emotional layers of music while building technical resilience and vocal clarity. Whether your goals are performance, self-expression, or healing through sound, voice work begins from within.
Composition sessions are offered to students with foundational experience in performance, ear training, and improvisation. These sessions are a gateway into creative authorship—an opportunity to shape original musical ideas and express inner worlds through sound.
We view composition as the natural extension of integrated musicianship—a synthesis of listening, improvising, arranging, and performing. Each student is guided through a structured yet open-ended process to develop their unique compositional voice.
Topics explored include:
Melody writing and harmonic exploration
Rhythmic design and phrasing
Form, development, and motif
Notation and arrangement for various instruments
Recording, production, and collaborative creation (as applicable)
All composition students are encouraged to bring their full creativity to the table while learning to shape and refine their ideas with clarity and purpose.
Creative Sessions are hosted in partnership with Sound Union, an independent artist studio in Redwood City, CA, offering a professional, welcoming space for learning, exploration, collaboration, and networking.
