What Students Are Saying

Jeffrey Y. (Batterfingers)

Tony's private lessons have really helped me to take my orchestration skills to the next level. Tony has played a huge role in my growth as a composer, with improvements in instrumentation, counterpoint, and production quality. The gap between my vision/inspirations and my own orchestrations has narrowed tremendously over the course of my lessons with Tony, and I would highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to move forward in their musical journey.

I highly recommend Tony Manfredonia as a private tutor/consultant for orchestrating. He was very affirming, encouraging and easy to converse with yet able to zero in on areas that could be improved. His teaching style in person is as clear as his videos and his knowledge is impressive. I had a wide array of questions to which he always had informed comprehensive answers.

I highly recommend studying with Tony to take your music to the next level. Not only is he a fabulous composer, but also a phenomenal educator. I took 4 lessons with him over the course of 8 weeks and in that short time my orchestrations improved dramatically. He was always well prepared, clear with his critique, and was quickly able to address some specific concerns I had about my writing. He also covered some MIDI programming techniques and mixing tips to help my music sound more realistic when using samples.
