The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

Vocal coaching develops a strong singing voice while boosting self-confidence, clarity, and inner harmony. A good coach helps you discover your unique voice, encouraging risk-taking and individuality, which enhances performance confidence. Clarity comes from understanding vocal mechanics, improving breath control and diction, allowing for better emotional expression in music and daily communication. Achieving harmony involves aligning vocal expression with emotions, fostering inner peace and fulfilment.

My method: Practice before theory. With 6 years of experience and productions accumulating millions of streams, I offer a teaching method based on the reality of the current music market.

Listening and analysis: We listen to your projects or reference pieces.

Targeted technique: Focus on a specific aspect (Composition, Sound Design, Vocal Mixing, Mastering...).

Debriefing: I give you exercises and tips to help you progress before the next lesson.

Who are these courses for?

For complete beginners who want to get to grips with FL Studio.

To intermediate beatmakers who feel their productions lack "punch" or clarity.

For artists who want to learn how to record and mix their own voices.

I help you develop your own sonic identity.
