Do you compose—or would you love to start? If you’re looking to develop your technique, write longer pieces, or understand the language of contemporary music - this is your opportunity to study with an internationally performed composer with over 20 years of experience in elite level composition coaching who can help you to grow and excel as a composer, and to greatly expand your appreciation and love for music.

Elite level composition coaching can provide you with what you are looking for - someone to guide you on your journey, to share their experience with you, to bounce ideas off, to activate your thinking, to help you shape your thoughts into something more satisfying and complete; someone to learn with, to ask questions and discuss the ideas whirling round your mind.

Our composition coaching can provide you with what you need - the new ideas, new perspectives, new techniques, new ways of understanding the notes and of hearing the sounds around you so that you can fashion them into music to play and to be played, and to share with the people in your life.

It will bring you clarity, and provide simple steps designed to take you towards your goal of writing the music that is inside you.

As a composer, you love to create your own sounds, to write them down, hear them for the first time, and to share them with the people around you.

But, you may be finding that getting beyond the initial idea to develop a piece can be difficult, and knowing how to make the sounds you long to hear can be unfathomable.

There is a lot of information around - but how do you know what to use to help yourself write the music that is in your imagination, but not yet out in the World?

I am Gavin Wayte and I have 20 years experience coaching in composition at some of the highest ranking music institutions in the UK. Let’s talk about how elite level composition coaching can assist you on your compositional journey. Read my music resumé.

How our coaching works

The coaching sessions take place online meaning wherever you are in the World, I can work with you.

The sessions are designed to fit with your life. We’ll work at a pace and schedule that suits you.

Your coaching is completely tailored: we start with your interests and goals, then build a clear path forward discovering the new ideas and techniques which lie behind the music you love. You’ll learn how to use them in your own compositions to produce your own music.

We’ll follow a positive method of coaching, accentuating the positives and identifying areas for improvement and how we can go about it. Sessions will be enjoyable and enlightening. We’ll go forward in the areas where you are strongest and explore and learn about areas where there are gaps.

You can also request special focus sessions to go into extra depth on specific pieces, composers and techniques.

So that your development is well supported you will receive resources such as:

  • Bespoke tasks individually tailored to your needs, helping you to to develop specific skills

  • Listening recommendations to inspire and expand your ear

  • Signposting towards Score study and video resources to deepen your understanding

All these elements typically result in:

  • Step-by-step integration of new ideas into your own compositions

  • You’ll feel the improvement and recognise how and where you have improved

  • You’ll be producing more music in a more confident, coherent way.

“The result is not just theoretical knowledge—but practical, embodied know-how you can draw on in every piece you write.”

Throughout my 20 years of experience I have worked with composers writing in a vast range of styles. Whatever music you are wanting to compose, we’ll explore the compositional approaches and ideas that are relevant to you so that you can develop the creative outlooks and technical skills to compose music that is personal, thoughtful, and compelling.

What would you like to learn about?

…and there’s an added benefit…

An area that is very important to me is wellbeing and mental health. Engaging with music and creativity is proven to support and increase wellbeing and mental health, leading to enhanced personal satisfaction, meaning and enthusiasm. Our increased happiness benefits not only us but the people we interact with on a daily basis - our families, friends and work colleagues, everyone we come into contact with.

By developing your creative side you’ll feel a sense of achievement and personal growth, and your music will allow you to express yourself in a deeply personal way. You will connect with the great world of music that means so much to you, and make your own personal contribution to that world.
