Free Online Consultation

Service Description

Please note: this service is just for initial discussions about commissioning or booking lessons etc. If you wish to receive technical advice, then please book one of the lesson slots. Tim's first love has always been composing and he enjoys nothing more than to get his teeth into a new work borne from a simple idea, photo, thought, memory or wish to bring it to life and feel the anticipation and the joy that presenting a new piece of music to a commissioner brings. Tim has written music for all manner of occasions, celebrations and events for choirs, orchestras, instrumentalists, musicians and non-musicians alike and had pieces performed all around the world ... indeed, the vast majority of the works in his catalogue are the result of commissions. Giving the gift of music, or receiving it for yourself, is very a special and personalised gift but where do you start? The answer is very simple: just settle down with a coffee and book in your online consultation! Tim has a vast wealth of experience and knowledge and will talk through your what your aspirations and goals are and whatever help you might need with composition - from the basics of writing harmonies and melodies, word-setting or counterpoint to the heady heights of orchestration, improvisation or arranging. The subject is a vast ocean and Tim loves nothing better than helping people navigate through its wonderful depths. He keeps his rates surprisingly low because he believes that new music should be available to all. More information about his rates are available on request by email to mail@timknightmusic.com. NOTE: You will need to download Zoom (https://us04web.zoom.us/) to be able to access the meeting via the link which should be contained in your confirmation booking email (please let us know if you do not receive a link). You will also need to enable your device's camera and microphone (or any alternatives you have plugged in). We are the hosts and will start the meeting at the designated time and you can join with audio and video via the link as an attendee. If these don't activate, click the icons to the bottom left-hand side of the Zoom screen where you can toggle them on and off. You do not need to 'share screen' to access the meeting. If Zoom does not prove to be a viable resource for both parties, we can offer alternative means of contact by agreement, eg, Skye, FB Messenger. If you have any queries about this service, please just email us via mail@timknightmusic.com.
