About me

A pop artist, I've been composing on Ableton Live for over 12 years. After being a singer and guitarist in an indie rock band, I turned to more electronic and urban sounds. Four years ago, I launched my solo project professionally.

At the same time, I am also a coach and former entrepreneur, which allows me to offer a teaching method that is both creative and structured, always results-oriented.

About Me

An indie pop artist, I've been composing on Ableton Live for over 12 years. Formerly the lead singer and guitarist in an indie rock band, I gradually moved towards more urban and electronic worlds, always seeking to marry the spontaneity of real instruments with the infinite possibilities of digital production.

I've led several musical projects, performed numerous concerts, and launched my current solo project four years ago as a professional endeavor. At the same time, I'm a web coach and former entrepreneur.

This dual role allows me to offer an approach that is both creative and structured, with the aim of helping you truly achieve your goals.

I adapt my teaching methods to the students to allow them to learn and improve more intuitively the different music elements studied : ear, technique, theory, posture, touch, style, history, etc.

Connexions between music, fine arts, architecture, philosophy, literature, poetry will ba also approached.

I have been teaching piano for 15 years and have been practicing it for 30 years. My teachers and experiences made me discover multiple and rich approaches of music ( classical, contemporary, gospel, blues, jazz ), composition and pedagogy.

I am a professional jazz pianist with solid stage experience, have a CFEM Conservatory Degree, an Artificial Intelligence Masters Degree, I am also a sculptor and a kung-fu / qigong instructor.

I have French Canadian double citizenship and speak both English and French fluently.

Create your own programming environment for your performance.

Max (Cycling 74) is a reference for real-time musical programming, dedicated to performance and multimedia installations.
The flexibility of the environment allows the creation of a multitude of interfaces so that the computer can communicate with all types of external sensors (gesture, movement, light, etc.), in order to create interactive works.

Integration into Ableton Live software, thanks to Max for Live, allows you to design your own effects and devices, and then integrate them into a Live set.

I am a multi-instrumentalist (saxophone, transverse flute, keyboard), composer and arranger (SACEM member since 2012), excellent improviser. This course will allow you quickly, whatever your instrument and your technical level, to understand and master the chord sequences and the articulation of musical language according to these sequences. In addition, you will learn the most frequent or rare harmonic structures used by composers. And, theory notwithstanding, you will learn to develop your ear to identify harmonic structures. This course also includes an introduction to the history of jazz.

I lay the theoretical foundations and, very quickly, I bring the person to practice, because that's what I believe in the most and that's how I learned.

So I let the student experiment and I guide him with kindness. I teach him to develop his ear through different exercises and to listen to his feelings throughout the creative process.

I am calm and ready to answer all questions.

I will give many exercises to address all the dimensions of a successful musical project (mixing, mastering, composition, atmosphere, structure, synthesizers...). But we will gradually go deeper by addressing each element (saturation, compression, textures, notion of structure, intensity). Together we will raise and answer all the questions, taking the time to infuse knowledge through systematic application of theory. In particular, I will deconstruct some of my projects in front of the student as a basis for understanding and will produce music from A to Z once per period, explaining all my thought and feeling process in relation to each decision I make.

I am not rigid about the methodological approach: some students will prefer to reinforce themselves here and there, while others will prefer to spend more time on the basics, I know how to listen to my student's desires.

Hello !

I'm Etienne, I'm a professional electronic music producer and guitarist.
I have been practicing MAO (computer-assisted music) for more than ten years, notably within a Techno music group in which I was able to train in sound engineering with a qualified engineer. of INFA.
I was also able to perfect my approach to composition by training with a teacher at the American School of modern music Paris.

I'm part of a Techno duo Sana + Nasa (more recently renamed "AZA:ZEL").
We are in the artist catalog of the booking agency La Quarantaine, our music has been published on labels such as SCTR, Carcères Records, Jaelos and Afterhours and we have had the privilege of playing several times in Paris, Berlin and Zagreb. I also had the opportunity to do podcasts on The Techno Children and Eletronic Subculture and finally on television on Clubbing TV (international broadcast)

I started teaching music (electronic music and guitar) in 2019 and I regularly give lessons to around ten students, both girls and boys!

Everything can take place in my studio as if by video. I give lessons for both advanced level students and beginners who have no experience.
I currently have a Techno project, a beatmaking project (selling pop, rap and electro instrumentals) and I am also part of a metal band... which means that I teach several styles of music !

Together we will be able to discover:

- composition (arrangement)
- Mixing and mastering
- DJing

I can also advise you on the equipment you will need (a computer and a good headset are more than enough at the start) and I will help you install everything you need, free installation ;)

There are 1000 training courses on YouTube, the only problem is that there is food and drink, a lot of training provided and not always in the right order. I first started learning computer music on my own and it was a long process! Especially because I had to unlearn a lot of things.
As a teacher, I will be able to support you in your learning and guide it so that you can ingest the right information in the right order and ensure that you have understood it perfectly.
In short, I will save you a lot of time, time which can be counted in years of learning.
One of my students started with me 5 months ago, he started with almost no knowledge of computer music, today he plays regularly for Darude and his latest creation will be released on a label.
I'm not going to lie to you, he worked a lot to get there, but what he achieved took me years to do and it very probably couldn't have been done without training. With a little work and rigor you could be the next to achieve this feat!
If you have any questions about the course, do not hesitate to send me a message.

See you soon, I hope,
Stephen

Electronic music, perhaps with its interdisciplinary nature, is a vast field to get into, a world of creativity and art, science and technology, and philosophy and thoughts. The course of electroacoustic composition (in other words computer-assisted composition) follows the interdisciplinary fundamentals of the topic. During these courses, we will speak and work on electronic music aesthetics and musical discourses, form and structure, and indeed the utils of using software such as Ableton, Max, Supercollider, VCV RACK, reaper et cetera, to be able to materialize the musical idea with electronic tools.
Students can create and compose electronic music, sound designs, multimedia art (music and ... ), installations and performances, etc during and after the courses.

Do you want to play Mozart, Debussy or Sofiane Pamart? Einaudi, Satie or Mendelsohn Bartholdy? Or improvise more freely?
It's the same! To become a musician, it's good to know some fundamental basics that will allow you to become independent and approach the music that interests you with awareness.

You have to work strategically, especially when you don't have hours a day to devote. The goal is for you to feel each week that you are better equipped than last week! And the body learns quickly if you feed it the right information.

My teaching adapts to each person's desires, but I like to instill what I consider to be important foundations for the musician's autonomy, technically (posture, flexibility of the arm and wrist) and theoretically (reading and rhythm).

I have a DEM in musical writing (writing in the style of so-called classical composers) from the CRR in Aubervilliers and I am currently studying towards a DEM in piano at the same conservatory.
I also study jazz on my own and regularly improvise in a more free manner.

Learning music can sometimes be laborious, which is why I like to insist on a clear work strategy by leaving the student with a clear and achievable mission each week.

Let's continue to love music and understand it better!

Hi! I’m Joseph (Jossy Dee) on Spotify, Apple music & all streaming platforms, I'm a music producer and professional artist with hands-on experience creating and releasing original music. I work with aspiring artists who want to turn their ideas into real, high-quality tracks — not just theory, but practical results.

In my lessons, we focus on music production from an artist’s perspective: building beats, arranging songs, improving sound quality, and developing a creative workflow that fits your style. I also help students understand songwriting, basic music theory, and how to use the piano as a tool for composition and production.

If you’re interested in releasing your own music, I can guide you through the fundamentals of music distribution and promotion so you understand how to prepare your tracks for streaming platforms and grow as an independent artist.

My lessons are practical, supportive, and tailored to your goals — whether you’re just starting out or already making music and want to level up with guidance from a working artist.
