Music Production - Creating Music Using Ableton Live
In these private lessons I will cover a broad range of topics that you'd like to learn about using Ableton Live! With over a decade in teaching experience across a broad range of topics, I'm prepared to customize lessons to make sure you get the most out of your time. To do this, we'll spend about 5-10 minutes just going through your own music background and experience (don't worry, this won't count towards lesson time) so I can get a sense of how best to progress your skills.
Topics may include: beat-making, melody/harmony writing, arrangement, workflow tips, sound design, mixing and mastering, recording, live performance, sampling, and pretty much anything else you can think of to get your sounds off the ground. Any genre is okay!

About Me
I've been using Ableton Live since 2008. In that time I've gotten to create and play my music for a bunch of legendary venues, such as First Avenue, The Black Box, The Armory, and have become a resident performer at Infrasound Music Festival. Along the way I discovered my real passion is teaching, and helping my students achieve the music of their dreams has become my own dream come true. I'm now the in-person Ableton and Sound Design instructor for an Ableton certified training center, and I never get tired of spending time in class!Education

Music Production Masterclass: How To Be An Electronic Music ProducerBedroom producers form the bedrock that most of the electronic genres comprising today's musical landscape are built off of. With a desktop PC, laptop, tablet or phone and an internet connection, you have near-instant access to all the tools necessary to create sounds literally never heard before in human history. Never has it been easier for an aspiring artist to begin, master and hone their craft, be it a hobbyist looking for a cathartic outlet or a chart-topping, platinum-record-stacking industry giant.
The issue is; making music's tough. And Digital Audio Workstations are scary. And writer's block is terrible. And music theory makes my teeth itch.
With both a masters and bachelors degree in music technology, years of professional musical experience spanning a wide array of genres and applications and eyebrows that'll knock your socks off, I can walk you through everything you need to become an electronic music producer. I can show you advanced tips and tricks to make the most out of your DAW of choice, I can help you with grasping the musical theory necessary to take the stress out of composition, I can teach you how to eradicate the dread of writer's block, discover your own musical voice, and help you become one of the great composers of our modern era. The Beethoven's, the Mozart's, the Tchaikovsky's. Just a little more sleep-deprived, I imagine.
Or I can just help you throw a beat together, whatever suits you.
(As a seasoned mental health battler; I am available midday to midnight GMT for you night owls, and will happily cater to those uncomfortable with face-to-face online sessions. Neither a webcam nor a microphone is necessary, we can pretend it's a Twitch chat if you need. Don't stress yourself out of wanting to learn. Just be prepared for me to monologue about resampling until you interrupt me with an emote.)

Music Production, Audio Engineering and Songwriting ClassesI studied music production at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) under the mentorship of King James Britt, and at Abbey Road in London. I am well versed in most audio software (Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Logic Pro X), using all of these in a professional setting for over 5 years. Currently, I work as an audio engineer, mixing and mastering songs for clients as well as recording in major studios across the city, as well as working remotely for the studio that I started in Oxford (Lenka's Studios).
I would love to help you reach your specific goals in Audio production and pass on my knowledge. Students can bring their works in Progress for feedback and to be worked on, or they can ask in advance to learn more about a specific area of audio production (For example, recording techniques for drums or piano, mixing techniques for live recordings or for electronic music).
I have many years of experience in writing songs electronically, and for live instruments, for artists in the UK and the USA. If you want to learn more about songwriting, this is another area I would be happy to help with.
