Music Production - Creating Music Using Ableton Live

Von 84 $ /Std

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!

Zusätzliche Informationen

Have Zoom installed for the lesson (I'll share my screen), and if you'd like to share your screen, make sure to have Ableton Live installed as well during the lesson.

Über mich

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!

Hello there,
I am a professional composer living in Berlin. I hold a Master's and a Bachelor's degree in Composition from the conservatory of Utrecht in the Netherlands. I write for orchestras, ensembles and theater and I have had commissions from the Athens State Orchestra, the International Ensemble Modern Academy and the Gaudeamus Festival among others.

Since 10 years I have been teaching students of any age (kids, adults) and level the following Subjects:
-Composition / Songwriting
-Music Theory
-Advanced Rhythm
-Music Production / Music Software (Sibelius, Logic)
I am open to any combination of the above subjects :-)

I always try to adapt to each student, his/her level and most importantly his/her needs. We can take the long road of music theory or focus on the project you are working on now, in a way that can help you now.

I can teach in English and German and the lesson can be at my place, your place, or via webcam.

Beatmaking is the art of putting the right drums with the right melodies : but it's deeper than that.
Music composition encompasses a lot of skills and requires a deep understanding of our own tastes, culture, and social skills in order to create the most authentic sound that we can think of.

This class introduces the core concepts of film scoring and how music shapes story, emotion, and narrative in film and television. Students will learn how to support and move images through music, exploring timing, mood, theme, and structure. Lessons are tailored to each student’s interests and level, from complete beginners to advanced composers, and can focus on electronic, orchestral, or hybrid approaches.

The course also includes analysis and deconstruction of existing film scores to understand compositional techniques and storytelling strategies. Students will learn how to set up and optimize their digital audio workstation for film scoring, define personal creative goals, and work with industry-standard orchestral sample libraries and synthesizers such as Spitfire Audio, Orchestral Tools, and Cinematic Studio Series. Films with sound design and no music can be provided for hands-on scoring exercises, enabling practical experience working directly to picture.
