Learn To create Music Your Way
Curated Music Lessons for Kids and Adults
Manouk Roussyalian teaches the art of transforming ideas into masterpieces and encourages creativity across all ages.
Part 1: Play, Imagine, Create
These music lessons offer a unique approach to learning. The focus is on unlocking your creative spark with no rules or pressure, just pure exploration. Whether for children or adults, the goal is to help students discover and express their unique musical voice. Learning music becomes an inspiring and a personal journey, growing together every step of the way.
Part 2: Compose and Arrange
Learn how to take a simple melody and transform it into something extraordinary. You’ll explore adding harmonies, layers, and beats while experimenting with different instruments or electronic elements. Whether it’s a child discovering the joy of musical play or an adult refining an idea, students will learn to nurture that initial spark and grow it into a rich orchestration or an expressive electronic production. This journey is about turning creativity into something tangible, powerful, and uniquely yours.
Part 3: Your Journey
Your journey with music is entirely your own. Whether supporting a child as they explore their creativity or reconnecting with a personal passion, there is no right or wrong path—only the one that resonates. Music is not about chasing perfection; it’s about telling your story in your own way, no matter how unconventional it may be. It’s an exploration, a creative space where expression matters more than correctness.
Part 4: Produce and Perfect
Once a composition starts taking shape, modern technology can add even more depth. From digital audio workstations to MIDI programming, there’s an entire world of tools to help refine and enhance the work. This journey is for everyone—whether helping a child bring their ideas to life, or an adult ready to produce something meaningful through live instruments or digital production. It’s not about replacing creativity with technology—it’s about combining them to create something uniquely yours.
