I believe in teaching by doing! In this course, you will be tasked with writing, recording, mixing and releasing your work! If you already have some basic ideas to start, that's perfect. Otherwise we'll work on that first idea together.
Based on your knowledge, whether you're a complete newbie or not, I will shape the course to equip you with everything you need to become a one-person music making machine! I produced some of my best work by diving right into the process, faced with deadlines and lots of stress!
In my course we will use one of the following DAWs of your choosing:
REAPER
Ableton Live
Logic Pro X
Pro Tools (only offered to students buying a pack of 10 hours)

If you wish for me to travel to you, that could be arranged, but I would charge extra for transportation based on your location.
If you wish to learn Pro Tools, I will only accept students who book lessons in packs of 10 hours or more.
I need to be notified of cancellations and rescheduling 24 hours in advance. Otherwise, it would count as a lesson. This is to help me manage my time, make extra time slot available to my other students, and hopefully will motivate you to keep practicing regularly!
