My name is Michalis Kailis and I am coming from the island of Cyprus. I am a professional music composer.

I started playing the guitar at the age of 6 and then at the age of 13, I began writing songs. My composition education started four years later when I started taking composition classes under the guidance of Cypriot composer Tasos Stylianou. Later, I moved on to Rotterdam where I began my studies as a classical composer. Six years later, I managed to finish both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the aforementioned conservatory.

I mainly compose chamber music. However, I have composed music for a short film I have made and orchestral works.

My goal for these classes is to develop each of my student’s talents. Every person is different so a slightly different approach will be taken for every student in hopes I can assist everyone in achieving their goals to the best of my abilities.
