Looking to deepen composition, harmony & emotional arrangement

Hey everyone,

I’m based in Berlin and looking for recommendations for teachers, mentors, schools, or even remote 1-on-1 studies around composition, harmony, arrangement, and emotional movement in music.

When I was younger I played in an orchestra for a few years, but over time I moved more into the electronic world… producing in Ableton, sound design, rhythm, textures, atmospheres, etc. Music has always been a huge part of my life, but I honestly forgot a lot of the formal theory since I haven’t practiced it deeply in years.

Now I want to take it much more seriously and professionally. I’m especially interested in understanding things like:
- tension & release
- emotional storytelling through harmony
- building happy/sad/deep atmospheres
- sophisticated chord progressions
- arrangement & energy shifting
- melodic movement and composition
- why certain harmonies emotionally hit the way they do

I’m not really looking for a jazz-oriented path (which is what I mostly find online), but something broader and more connected to electronic, cinematic, ambient, experimental, downtempo, leftfield, or emotionally driven music.

Open both to in-person studies in Berlin and remote mentorship with someone anywhere in the world.

Would really appreciate recommendations for people, schools, courses, or even the right wording/discipline I should be searching for.

Thanks a lot :)
