Introduction to Ableton Live Performance: Learning how to play live electronic music

A partir de 81 $ /h

Ableton Live is a powerful tool for live electronic performance, improvisation, and composition. In this introductory class, you'll learn how to build and organize a live performance session from scratch using clips, patterns, and scenes.
We'll explore workflows that make live performance intuitive and expressive — from launching clips and creating loops to building dynamic transitions and improvising with effects. You’ll also get tips on organizing your set, routing audio, and preparing for a performance setup, whether you’re playing solo or collaborating with others.

Perfect for musicians, sound artists, or producers curious about taking their tracks to the stage.

Información adicional

Please bring a laptop with Ableton Live (Intro, Standard, or Suite), headphones, and a MIDI controller (if you have one — optional).

Acerca de mí

I am a multidisciplinary shapeshifter exploring the potential of sound, video, and performance. My work is experimental, navigating the space between reality and imagination to explore identity, perception, and vulnerability through technology. As a musician, I compose, design sound, and improvise vocally; as a visual artist, I craft abstract video, projection-based installations, and text-based art. I create simulations and machines to reveal hidden, overlooked, and unexplored realities and relations. My artist persona, duality, reflects my manifesto: embracing both nature and technology as forces of true innovation. My work has been guided by personal experiences, philosophy, metaphysics, feminism, hybrid human-machine relationships, deep listening, traditional Turkish singing, mindfulness, and lucid dreaming.

I love learning as much as I love teaching! If you are looking for an alternative, experimental, friendly teacher I am here for you!

Sonic Alchemy: Designing Sounds from Field Recordings

75 $ /h

In this class, we’ll start by exploring your surroundings through field recording and use them as material for composition. Then we’ll bring those recordings into a digital audio environment and process them using experimental sound design techniques. We will explore the potential of sound together and learn how to listen for opportunities. By the end, you’ll have your own custom sound palette and the skills to create unique atmospheres that are unique to you. We will create textures, atmospheric sounds, instrument racks, and even drum racks!

This class is perfect for you if you want to have your own unique sound. Don't pay for samples, make your own.

Introduction to TouchDesigner: Understanding the Basics of Video Art

87 $ /h

TouchDesigner is a powerful visual programming environment used for creating real-time generative art, interactive installations, and audiovisual performances. In this beginner-level class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of the interface, how to use operators (TOPs), and how to build your first real-time visual system from scratch.

We’ll focus on an intuitive and creative workflow — learning by making. You’ll leave with a basic understanding of how to manipulate visuals, respond to sound input, and start experimenting with your own interactive environments. No coding experience required — just curiosity and creativity.

The most important matter that I could write here about is my passion to teach. I've been teaching already for more than 10 years, from kids to adults. I'm a classical pianist, but I am opened to other musical styles. What I want you to get from your lessons with me, is not only a huge knowledge of theorical stuff or a great technique, I would like to show you my musical world, the imagination and inner exploration that is required to understand and to love music in a whole new level. Once you have found them, it will be very hard to quit playing!

The class duration: You can choose!
20 minutes (Great for the youngest : 3 years old)
30 minutes (Ideal for young beginners from 4 years old)
45 minutes (Intermediate+ adult beginners)
1 hour (Intermediate and combined with some Music Theory)

I use different methods depending on:
1) The goals of my student
2) The language that we will use on class
3) Age and musical preferences: I start to teach children from 3 years old, we make games and they learn to play through musical stories that I have created throughout my pedagogical career.

At my studio my students will not only learn how to play the piano, but they will receive a complete musical education in order to achieve their musical dreams. I will give all my best so everybody will get the tools for developing their own voice, helping them to master the instrument and teaching them all the theoretical knowledge they’ll need to make their particular personality shine. Openness, joy, dedication, creativity and passion for music are some of the things that you will find in the international environment of my studio. I care about who my students are and what they have to say to the world, and I will help them to develop it from the very first lesson.

In my class you will not only be able to receive piano lessons but also will learn to understand how the music works as a language. If the interest and the profile of the student goes in the direction of the purely classical music performance, the lessons will be focused on a deep and conscious piano technique development, practicing techniques, musical interpretation, history of music, history of the piano, applied harmony on the keyboard, analysis, and score reading by a method that I have developed for over 15 years of experience. And if the students wish, I can help them to prepare for the ABRSM exams and competitions as well. All this is aiming to achieve in a very practical and exciting experience the best results in the fastest way possible. But if the profile and the interests of the students goes on another way, I will give them all the tools they need to understand the language of music in depth, so they can find their own voice on the instrument. In that case the lessons will include contents of piano technique, score reading, applied harmony on the keyboard, composition, improvisation, musical arrangement, music production, recording techniques, jazz and pop music analysis and performance. Both programs can be combined depending on the focus and the profile of the student, or in case the student would like to go deeper in one of the previously mentioned subjects there is the opportunity to take an independent course of specialization on the desired topic. At the end of the semester every student will perform at the winter and summer concerts held every year and will have the possibility of making a recording session with the material worked during the term. With this, the student will not only be able to see his progress and work, but also will give him a direct experience of performing and working on a live or studio recording session, which is a fundamental part of the developing process of every musician.

Hope you can join and if so, I’ll be very happy to teach you!

Hello! I've been teaching nonstop for over 10 years, and I'd love to tell you what a class with me offers:

100% personalized approach: The first step is to define your goals. Learning for pleasure? Preparing for entrance exams? Or taking the professional leap? I'll adapt the methodology, curriculum, and even the repertoire to your goals.

Dynamic environment (without losing rigor): Relaxed but demanding classes, where practical methods (and my irremediable sense of humor) prevail.

Hearing + Musicality + Analysis: We'll work on listening, understanding, and analyzing your musical references. The goal: for you to make artistic decisions with confidence and feel music as your own.

No stylistic biases: For me, all music is valid. We'll explore everything from classical to electronic, using each style to work on key aspects: melody, harmony, production... We'll even explore genres you're unfamiliar with together!

Important! I balance classes with concerts and projects. Although you're my priority, I appreciate the occasional flexibility to reschedule (only when strictly necessary).

If you like this approach, write to me! Learning music is an exciting journey, and I'd love to be your guide.

In my lessons, we work deeply on harmonic analysis, counterpoint, and musical structure across the full spectrum of academic music from all historical periods, as well as jazz and popular music. A central pillar of the classes is the analysis of composers, which we approach as an essential tool for understanding musical language and developing a personal creative voice. Depending on the student’s interests, analysis may range from Mozart to Debussy, or from Beethoven to Bartók, among many others.
A strong emphasis is placed on counterpoint from all historical periods. I assist students with conservatory-level exercises, and we study contrapuntal techniques through the analysis and practice of Bach’s inventions and fugues, Renaissance counterpoint, and 20th-century contrapuntal approaches.
In composition classes, the content is fully adapted to the student’s creative needs and goals. The focus is on developing practical creative tools that support original thinking, with the clear objective of composing original pieces of short, medium, and long duration, tailored to each student’s artistic direction.
For orchestration, we explore writing techniques for a wide range of ensembles, including chamber music, full orchestra, and popular music formations such as quartets, quintets, big band, and tango orchestras. Particular attention is given to instrumental color, balance, articulation, and idiomatic writing.
As an Argentinian composer and educator, I offer a specialized perspective on tango, including in-depth analysis of composers such as Astor Piazzolla, as well as composition and orchestration techniques related to tango. Due to the geographical and cultural proximity, I also offer classes focused on Bossa Nova, exploring its harmonic language, rhythmic structures, and stylistic characteristics.
Lessons are suitable for students at different levels, from beginners to advanced musicians, and are tailored to individual academic, professional, or creative goals.

Personalized bass lessons for all levels, focused on building a solid musical foundation from day one.

We work with fundamental exercises to develop technique, instrument control and rhythmic sense, integrating music theory, ear training and improvisation in a practical and applied way.

The technique is not approached mechanically, but from the real interpretation, the groove and improvisation, so that what you study translates directly into the music.

The classes are adapted to the styles, techniques and contexts in which you want to improve: jazz, popular music, funk, rock, folklore, accompaniment, reading, improvisation or music production.

Learn music through play and improvisation from the very first lesson

I offer music lessons open to all levels, from complete beginners to more experienced musicians.

My teaching approach is based on a simple idea: enjoyment is the driving force behind learning.
That is why instrumental technique and music theory are applied directly through playing, rather than through an accumulation of exercises disconnected from real musical practice.

A highly personalized and adaptable approach

I do not follow a rigid method or offer identical programs for everyone.

Each student’s individuality is highlighted and enhanced rather than suppressed to fit into a fixed framework.

Every student progresses through the music they love and want to play.

Rather than studying theoretical concepts in the abstract, we approach them only when they directly support the music currently being learned. The goal is to create a direct connection between what is learned and what is played.

My intention is for students to gradually discover and build their own way of learning and playing, leading toward independence in musical learning and exploration.

⸻

Instruments and areas taught

I offer:

• Improvisation for all instruments and all styles
• Instrumental technique for clarinet, guitar, and ukulele
• Composition guidance
• Foundations of harmony applied to practical playing

⸻

Typical lesson structure

Each lesson is based on a piece of music or a concrete musical support.

The work may include:

• Simple analysis of the piece to guide the learning process
• Work on phrasing, rhythm, harmony, tone, and musical expression
• Immediate application through playing and improvisation

The goal is to improve while staying connected to real music and the pleasure of playing.

⸻

Who are these lessons for?

These lessons are suitable for:

• Beginners who want to start playing quickly
• Amateur musicians who want to learn improvisation
• People looking for a freer and more creative approach
• Musicians who want to progress without a strictly academic teaching style

⸻

My goal

To help you develop your musical expression and find your own way of playing and learning.

Si de verdad quieres aprender, aprenderás 💪
No importa si al principio sientes que no entiendes, ni cuántas veces haya que repetir algo: siempre existe una forma clara de aprenderlo.
No necesitas saber informática ni tener experiencia previa. Empezamos desde cero, paso a paso y a tu ritmo 🧩
Aprenderás audio como se trabaja en la vida real, no solo teoría. Porque en la práctica:
• 🎙️ casi nunca se graba una sola toma
• ✂️ una locución se edita
• 🎤 una voz se construye con varias tomas
• 🎸 un instrumento se corrige, se limpia y se organiza antes de mezclar
Te enseño edición de audio profesional 🛠️: selección de tomas, limpieza, cortes, fades, organización de sesiones y preparación correcta del material antes de entrar a mezcla.
Además aprenderás:
• 🎚️ Mezcla profesional
• 🔊 Masterización
• 🧠 Flujo de trabajo real de un ingeniero de audio
• 💻 Herramientas y técnicas usadas en la industria
• ✨ Truquitos prácticos que no siempre enseñan en la universidad
Roma no se hizo en dos días... ⏳
pero con la guía correcta, el camino es mucho más corto 🚀
👉 Si no sabes por dónde empezar, escríbeme y lo definimos juntos.

This is not a technical DJ lecture. It is a creative lab.

In this workshop, we explore DJing as storytelling, cultural curation, and emotional architecture. Whether you are a beginner curious about mixing or a creative looking to refine your artistic identity.

We cover:

Software and hardware essentials

Track selection

How to build a narrative through sound

Reading the room and shaping energy

Developing your sonic identity

The relationship between DJing and community

Participants engage in listening exercises, mini curation challenges, and real-time feedback. Instead of rigid rules, we experiment. Instead of copying trends, we discover what we love.

This class is for DJs, music lovers, cultural organizers, and anyone who wants to understand how music moves people and spaces.

You will leave with practical tools, sharper ears, and a clearer sense of your creative voice behind the decks.

I have more than 6 years mixing in clubs, private parties and festivals. I have played in important stages in Mexico and Europe with names such as Solomun, Maceo Plex and Adriatique.

I am Santiago, with 10 years of experience in the world of vinyl, mixing, and several tours around South America and Europe as a DJ.
I have a Higher Technical Degree in Electronic Music from EMBA (Buenos Aires School of Music), and multiple specialized courses such as Mixing/Mastering at Arjaus, and other Argentine academies.
I have a platform for disseminating content from the world of electronic music, four record labels, three in vinyl format and one digital, and with this, I work around the entire process of creating a song and its distribution.
I am part of more than 10 productions in both digital and vinyl formats, with the support of renowned artists from the underground scene.

I'm here to help you take your sets to the next level, develop new skills for your performances, and learn specific techniques for mixing vinyl records.
These classes are designed for people with zero knowledge of the subject, as well as for those who want to perfect their mixing or music selection technique.
We will go through a process of discovering timbres, sounds and intentions to incorporate into our sets to tell a more complete story in each performance.
In addition, I have a music production studio in Poblenou, from where I work on projects daily for my own labels as well as for third-party work. I would also love to help you better understand the world of the producer, or directly start from scratch with the adventure.
I look forward to your message to get started, whether it's in person with me as a DJ/Producer, or virtually as a producer. I can show you my studio and the work of some of my students so you can learn more about my work!
Regards

This course is designed as a practical guide to music theory specifically for musicians. You will learn the fundamentals that will allow you to better understand musical structures and apply them directly to your performance and composition. We will explore scales, chords, harmonic progressions, and rhythm, always with a focus on practical musical application. The goal is for you not only to understand the theory but also to use it as a creative tool to enhance your artistry.
