About

Thijs Hoekstra
I have taught harmony and counterpoint at a conservatoire in Utrecht for forty years. Most of my students could already play. What they had not been shown was why one chord follows another.
So I now teach singers, guitarists and composers who never had those lessons, at the piano in Utrecht and online. I play three notes, and we talk about what they do.
He explained in ten minutes what three books had not.
The letter
A short letter on harmony
One chord, one idea and one exercise, once a month, written at the piano. Free, and short enough to read over coffee.
