My lessons are a safe space for everyone and all kinds of music.
During the lessons I'll gradually provide you with lots of reliable information and additional resources about the subject you're interested in. Have your gear ready and be prepared for fun tasks which you'll receive feedback on! I strongly suggest considering a block of at least 2 hours for most of the subjects, because this way I can teach for an hour and then you'll have time to try a specific technique, and then we can discuss it. Each of the subjects listed below has multiple aspects we can talk about - imagine multiple building blocks that form a whole subject. The first hour will be dedicated to me explaining you in detail 1 building block. I'll also give you a fun task related to the information I provided you with so that you can gain hands-on experience right away. After telling you what's the task I'll answer your questions. In case we have an hour we'll finish with this and you're welcome to share with me your experience via email, and you'll receive feedback. In case we have a block of 2 or 3 hours you'll have time to do the task, then we'll discuss it. Maximum is 3 hours. 10-minute breaks after every 60 minutes. First 10 minutes of our first lesson are about safety in a music studio.
I'm experienced in Ableton, Pro Tools, and FL Studio - the latter one being my main choice, however I could teach in any DAW.
I have deep knowledge of rhythm, basics of acoustic instruments (guitar, bass, piano), production techniques such as sound design (from basic sampling, effects like chorus/flanger, etc. to synths, physical modelling, wave tables, modular synthesis, patching instruments using Reaktor and overall physics of sound), composition and arrangement, public presentation, creative mixing, and basics of mastering.
Subjects to choose:
Sound design I - 12 topics
Sound design II (advanced) - 12 topics
Composition and arrangement - 12 topics
Creative mixing - 8 topics
Public presentation - 6 topics
Basics of mastering - 6 topics
We study on a 1 topic per meeting basis.
I hold an academic degree B.A. (Hons) in electronic music production and performance.
I encourage you to explore and discover your artistic identity.
Please be as specific as possible in your text/email/call about what you're most interested in, your experience in music, your level/experience in the subject, and which DAW do you use. No need to lose time for things you already know, however I would like to know what are your sources of information (e.g. YouTube videos - which channel, or what book, or is it knowledge you gained through experience, or perhaps you already studied another aspect of music at a conservatory, or you took some courses - which ones, etc.)
