Thomas Lorenzo — Head of Music, CGS
Do you ever feel the need to play a second verse with more power but you do not how to?
We all go through musical experiences that condition or limit our creativity. The only way to expand our creative output is through craft. Musical craft is the mastery of knowledge in a manner that produces emotional results.
Traditional learning methods are not efficient at helping us quickly achieve our desired craft. Most of the times they will limit our creativity.
My contemporary learning methods bridge the gap between theory and craft. You learn how to apply creatively a new musical tool because you are able to understand the when, feel the why, and consequently compose reflecting upon your mature emotional intelligence . In all my online courses you will work hard to understand ( feel), practice and create to achieve your desired goal of composing your song with your unique message.
