About Me

I am a producer and composer for films and documentaries, with a master degree in Sonic Arts and a master degree in Music Composition and Sound Design for Cinema and Videogames.
I am a teacher of music composition and sound design for both underground music and music for films.
Thanks to my studies, my inherited and personal experience in the music industry, I developed a deep passion in teaching as a tool of connection with people and with their sensibility. I strongly believe in the need of a modern approach to music that can easily adapt to the market's trends of the moment but can also predict new horizons for composers and producers that want to find in music their life's path.

I’m Yaniv, a classical guitarist and guitar teacher with over 12 years of playing experience and 7 years of teaching experience.

In my lessons, we focus on enjoying the guitar — building skills, confidence, and a love for the music you play.
We can work together on proper technique, reading notation and tabs, playing songs or classical pieces, improvisation, ear training, rhythm, and music theory — all tailored to your personal goals and level.

I understand every student’s journey, because I’ve been there myself. I started learning on my own, and only when I found great teachers did I realize how much professional guidance can make a real difference.

That’s why I design a personalized learning plan for each student, helping them progress in the best and most enjoyable way possible.

I truly love teaching and guiding students through their musical journeys.
For me, it feels like a calling — a way to pass on the rich traditions and knowledge I’ve received from the great teachers I’ve studied with closely over the years.

Each student is a whole world to me. I believe that every person has a unique musical voice, and my goal is to help them discover and develop it.
Teaching is always a two-way process — I keep learning and growing from every student I work with.

This class introduces the core concepts of film scoring and how music shapes story, emotion, and narrative in film and television. Students will learn how to support and move images through music, exploring timing, mood, theme, and structure. Lessons are tailored to each student’s interests and level, from complete beginners to advanced composers, and can focus on electronic, orchestral, or hybrid approaches.

The course also includes analysis and deconstruction of existing film scores to understand compositional techniques and storytelling strategies. Students will learn how to set up and optimize their digital audio workstation for film scoring, define personal creative goals, and work with industry-standard orchestral sample libraries and synthesizers such as Spitfire Audio, Orchestral Tools, and Cinematic Studio Series. Films with sound design and no music can be provided for hands-on scoring exercises, enabling practical experience working directly to picture.

If you are one of these people, then you've come to the right place:

* Beginners, children or adults
* People with poor piano experience or “stuck” players
* Parents who want their children to learn music like a language and develop focus and calmness in the process
* Music lovers, musicians or fans of certain styles who want to play creatively themselves

Then you've come to the right place.

I have been a musician since childhood and play the piano.
I have been working as a piano teacher for 5 years. I am also an architect and multidisciplinary artist, exploring the connection between sound and visual art.

The lessons focus on piano practice, reading music and a better understanding of music – using methods such as Piano Adventures, Alfred and other modern textbooks.

After about 5 months, many of my students see a clear difference in their playing, understanding, and self-confidence.

✨ Suitable for children, beginners and anyone who wants to learn piano in a modern and enjoyable way.

For me, music is not a theory, but a language that one lives.
Music should be learned and treated like a language.

Listening, reading (music), writing and playing.
The goal is for you to eventually "speak" music naturally, without thinking too much.

Feel free to write to me if you want to know more about my teaching or how I teach music like a second language.

Other programs (feel free to ask for details at any time – I'll send you all the information):

• Program for musical culture and listening comprehension for children and adult artists
• Program: Piano lessons and music reading for all age groups
• Basic music theory program for beginners and musicians
• Program “Sight-reading” (direct reading and playing of music)

I will teach you all the basic stuff to start playing the piano and also some music theory, to give a better general understanding of the musical world.

The main goal of the course is to give you all the knowledge you need to play the piano and also understand music trough teory. My approach is focused on making the student understand as much as possible the things we do, in order to develop skills, rather than giving strict tecnique exercises.
