Group sessions, masterclasses and short residencies.
For academies, conservatories, festivals, music schools and talent-development programmes — workshops, masterclasses, group composition sessions and short residencies can be arranged. Work can centre on composition, theory, analysis, orchestration, notation or score feedback, depending on what your group is working on.
Sessions are tailored to the group’s level and the institution’s aim. Online formats are often the easiest to arrange across distance; in-person sessions are possible in Denmark and, where the logistics allow, abroad.
I am lucky to have Daniel as a teacher — he is a teacher by vocation. Always giving the right tip, very supportive. So just bring your ideas to him, and he is the right person to give you the tools to make it real.

OpenTell me about the group and the context.
A few sentences about the institution, the group’s level and what you would like the session to do is enough to begin. We can then decide together on format, duration and approach.
