Music Production lessons (Ableton) for all levels!!

From 41 € /h

Music production is one of the most exciting ways to create and express yourself musically. In my Ableton classes, I focus on helping students turn their ideas into finished tracks, while learning both the technical and creative sides of production.

I am a Sound Engineer and Music Producer, with a BA (Hons) in Creative Audio Production & Sound Engineering from Catalyst. I have professional experience working in recording studios and composing music for media projects, which I bring directly into my teaching.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already producing music, my lessons are fully personalised to your level and goals. We can work on:

• Ableton Live fundamentals
• Sound design and synthesis
• Beat making and arrangement
• Recording and editing audio
• Mixing basics and workflow
• Creative composition techniques

My aim is to make music production clear, practical, and enjoyable, helping you develop your own sound and complete your own tracks with confidence :)

About Me

I am a violinist, Sound Engineer, and Music Producer with a background in classical music and a passion for helping others discover and enjoy music as much as I do :)

I graduated from a Professional Conservatory and have performed with various orchestras and string quartets. Alongside my classical training, I work in sound engineering and music production (under the name Alba.), which has given me experience across a wide range of musical styles and creative projects.

I enjoy adapting my teaching to each student’s interests and goals, whether they are looking for a structured learning path, exam preparation, or simply a fun and rewarding musical experience. My aim is to create a positive and supportive environment where students can develop confidence, creativity, and a genuine love for music.

Education

I hold a Professional Conservatory Degree and a BA (Hons) in Creative Audio Production & Sound Engineering from Catalyst. Throughout my musical career, I have performed as a violinist in orchestras and string quartets, travelling and performing in a variety of concerts and events. Combining my background in classical performance with my work in sound engineering and music production allows me to approach music from both an artistic and technical perspective.

Experience / Qualifications

I have experience teaching Music Theory, Violin, Composition, and Electronic Music Production (Ableton), working with students of different ages and levels. In addition to teaching, I have worked in professional recording studios as a Sound Engineer and have composed music for media projects, gaining experience in music production, recording, mixing, and creative composition. This professional background allows me to bring both technical expertise and real-world industry experience into my lessons.

46 € /h

Music is fun! My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, level, and interests, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment where learning and creativity go hand in hand.

I am a Professional Conservatory graduate with experience performing in string quartets and orchestras. I am also a Sound Engineer and Music Producer, which allows me to offer a broad musical perspective beyond instrumental training.

Whether you want to start from scratch, prepare for exams, improve your technique, develop your ear, or deepen your understanding of music theory, I can help you achieve your goals.

Lessons may include:

• Technique and posture
• Intonation and ear training
• Music reading and rhythm
• Musical expression and interpretation
• Music theory

Every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching approach, repertoire, and lesson structure to suit individual needs and objectives. My aim is to help you build strong musical skills, gain confidence, and most importantly, enjoy the process of learning and making music.

Drums, as with bass guitar are the backbone of any good song, and the foundation upon which the music is built. Despite not being as famous as lead vocals or lead guitar. Drums in my opinion is much more fun, at all levels of performance.

I will teach you how to play the drums, how to fit the style to the genre and we will learn by practice by breaking down the famous classics, and explain what part drums played to make these classics so good.

We will use my electronic drumset, which is not as good as the real thing but is definitely good for starters. There are ways you can practice at home without a drumset as well. And we can expand later and rent a studio room, where I can jam with you on the guitar even!

My method is based on each student in particular. It doesn't matter what your level is, I enjoy teaching people who have a commitment to music and art. The main topics we'll work on are: Recognizing the guitar fingerboard, technique, sound, ear training, transcribing, harmony and harmony applied to the instrument, and reading and studying the instrument through the music you like and chose.

Drum teacher with over 20 years of experience, 2 degrees in conservatories including the prestigious Codarts in Rotterdam. It offers personalized lessons through its "Lock The Time" method.

In my career I have moved in different musical styles and I have played with different artists of international level such as : Junior F. Dixie, Sri Hanuraga (Ingenious jazz pianist-composer from Indonesia Grammy Award winner), Alessandro Mannarino (The most important songwriter of the modern Italian music scene), Nathaniel Peterson (The American Blues Man candidate to the Grammy Awards “Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Iggy Pop, Keith Richards” and many other), Dani Robinson (Experience Hendrix Tour Billy Cox), GrooveX original Indietronic project with a strong musical identity and many others, and the last Teapø project.

I have developed a drum manual using progressively harder exercises in dynamics, technique, coordination,polyrhythm, and balance-control, connected to the importance of sound,rhythms of different musical genres, the groove and the jazz music.
This manual arose from a need for a complete drum manual that includes the most
important aspects of modern drumming, but also sticking to classic drumming rhythms and techniques. It is partly inspired by various musical authors who have helped shape
me musically over the years, and partly by my various teachers and studies, but also by my own teaching experience, my concerts and my recordings. It’s therefore also
modelled on my own personal drumming style.
My method is aimed both at those who have just started and for those who already play in an advanced way.
Exam preparation in academies and conservatories is also possible.

Let me teach you to write your own songs, learn any song by ear, create your own style or begin your journey into the world of music and playing the piano. My method is based on learning music from listening, perception and creativity. My classes are extremely practical and adaptable to the needs and interests of the student, from piano applied to songwriting or the understanding of musical language and harmony, to the preparation of different repertoires and the writing of your own songs.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Are you stuck? I can help!

In our composition lessons, we’ll both learn how to get more from basic elements, like pitch and rhythm, and also the things we can do to help make a composition more poetic. We can work on how to get more music from fewer ideas to create a consistent musical language, and also explore the idea of opposites in your compositions, blending and smearing contrasting elements to add depth and complexity to your work.

Through the analysis of great music, the composition of miniatures, and feedback on your current projects, you’ll both increase your technical fluency and simultaneously learn to love and develop your unique voice. This class is for any level of composer, whether you're a beginner or an experienced composer seeking to enhance your creative skills. Don't wait any longer :)

I’m Yaniv, a classical guitarist and guitar teacher with over 12 years of playing experience and 7 years of teaching experience.

In my lessons, we focus on enjoying the guitar — building skills, confidence, and a love for the music you play.
We can work together on proper technique, reading notation and tabs, playing songs or classical pieces, improvisation, ear training, rhythm, and music theory — all tailored to your personal goals and level.

I understand every student’s journey, because I’ve been there myself. I started learning on my own, and only when I found great teachers did I realize how much professional guidance can make a real difference.

That’s why I design a personalized learning plan for each student, helping them progress in the best and most enjoyable way possible.

I truly love teaching and guiding students through their musical journeys.
For me, it feels like a calling — a way to pass on the rich traditions and knowledge I’ve received from the great teachers I’ve studied with closely over the years.

Each student is a whole world to me. I believe that every person has a unique musical voice, and my goal is to help them discover and develop it.
Teaching is always a two-way process — I keep learning and growing from every student I work with.

I will be offering singing lessons across multiple genres, tailored to each student’s individual goals, experience level, and learning style and will also take an approach that allows students to really express themselves and their voice.

I believe great music tuition is about far more than technique; it is about building a student’s confidence, nurturing their curiosity, and making every lesson something they genuinely look forward to. In my singing lessons, I can adapt my approach to everyone’s goals and learning style, whether that means preparing a student for an examination, developing performance confidence, or simply helping a beginner fall in love with their instrument.
