1-2-1 Music Production Courses__With D&B/Techno Artist COMMIX__(Metalheadz, Hospital Records, Dispatch, 31 Records)

From 56.73 € /h

Hi!

Thanks for showing an interest in my tuition!

I've spent my entire adult life passionately obsessed with music and sound and now i take great pleasure in sharing my skills and techniques with anyone willing to learn...

Nowadays its too easy to get a sample pack from here and a preset from there and effectively paint by numbers but what i teach is creative expression and how to make music your craft.
The end result doesn't come as quickly or easily, but when it does its unmistakably yours.

So!
I run two courses. One for complete beginners, or those looking to formalise their skill set from the bottom up and one for more experienced producers who are looking to build on their technical knowledge and/or improve in certain areas of production.

Below is some detailed information on both courses -

////
Beginner (10 x 2 hour lessons)

My beginner course has been carefully nurtured over the last 3 years to teach you the fundamental skills you’ll need to write unique, original and exciting electronic music. I don’t just teach you how to write D&B, or Techno. Instead i aim to teach the underlining language of music production and creativity. This will give you the freedom to evolve and grow as a producer in any direction you choose later on.
Drawing from my own musical education, I start by teaching you one of the simplest forms of electronic music production. A style pioneered by the early hip hop producers and one that yields instantly impressive results. From there i will introduce you to all of the key techniques you will need to be a highly adaptable producer.
Once completed, you will know how to make the music that is in your head and most importantly how to have loads of fun being creative with music and sound.

Some of the key subjects we will cover are:

* Ableton software training.
* Drum programming, working with breakbeats and percussion.
* How to dig for, and use samples from old records, film & tv
* The language of synthesis and how to design sounds from scratch
* Recording live sound and field recording FX (done using smartphon
* How to arrange, mix and master tracks
* Workflow, concept design and creative approaches.
* (and most importantly) How to bring unique flare and originality to your music.

////
Advanced (5 x 2 hour lessons)

This course is aimed at experienced producers who are looking to improve in certain areas and broaden their skillset. There is no set curriculum for this type of course. They are designed based on the needs of the individual. We work together to establish key areas to focus on.
I start by analysing your existing music to establish areas that can be improved on and i ask you to fill in a set of questions which outline your goals and things you would like to achieve. From there i devise a set of lesson that are as effective as possible and optimise our time together.

///
The lessons are always 1-2-1 with myself and are conducted over Zoom. This works really well. We can share our screens and the computer audio. I also record each lesson so you can go back and rewatch tricks and techniques in your own time which is something that has proved to be super helpful to my students.

///
All my students go away with roughly 10gb of samples from my own collection. I provide as and when they are relevant to a lesson or module. They are not commercially available sample packs. They are sounds i have designed or collected and many of them i have been using for 20 years!

///
Last (but far from least!)
Which is a place for my previous and existing students to give and receive track feedback, from myself and other members. And also where students can help each other with anything music related. I occasionally set fun production challenges and drop the odd useful set of sounds in there too. The group has nearly 200 members now and many of them collaborate together, meet for mixing sessions in London. And recently there has been talk of organising a record label and club night which is amazing!

There is fun to be had and music to be made! If you are interested to know more and would like to meet me and discuss things further, please book yourself in for a 1 hour session where we can go over everything in detail and in a way that is relevant to you. Once we have a clear idea of the best course of action we can look at booking a course for you.

///
Things you'll need for either course -
Ableton Suite (3 month free trial available from their website or google 'ableton trial')
A computer that is compatible with Ableton's system requirements (also found on their website)
Some decent headphones (i use Audio Technica ath-m50x and highly recommend them)
A decent internet connection.
A quiet environment where you can concentrate

Thanks and speak soon!

Unfortunately i do not offer one off lessons. I have done this in the past but feel they are not rewarding for either the student or myself and prefer to work with someone to develop their skills over time.

About Me

As a producer, I have been releasing music commercially for around 18 years, mainly on the major Drum and Bass record labels such as Metalheadz and Hospital Records. I have also written 3 well-received albums and been involved in many collaborative projects.

Over the years I have worked in countless different studios and practiced a wide variety of different production techniques which has put me in a great position to teach.

As a teacher, I have a wealth of experience behind me. My first position after completing my teaching diploma was at London's leading music production collage Point Blank where I was their 'Introduction To Ableton Live' course tutor. I am also a regular tutor at various different studios in London.

I am as passionate about teaching and sharing my expertise as I am about producing music. I find it deeply rewarding to watch young producers develop their identity and their sound. Music is such a personal thing, so it's always so interesting and often really surprised to listen to how each student adapts the knowledge you have taught them.

My students can expect to walk away with much more than just textbook music production skills. I take great pride in nurturing young producers and helping them find their feet in the music industry. I will provide help and advice to them with everything from what equipment to invest into what record labels they should approach and will continue to mentor them long after their course is finished...

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Turkish reed flute is an essential instrument of Turkish Classcial Music. It has a deep and dense culture dating from 13. century around. If you want to learn about how to perform it you first need a teacher educated by masters on this field. As of many teachers you can find online but you make sure that not every tutor meets with traditional style.
Solfege and method are inseperable parts of the lessons. So for beginners and intermediate students must follow a compotent tutor to learn about the way of classic form.

Hii,
I’m a professional vocal coach specializing in Hindustani classical and Bollywood singing with Thumri, Ghazal, etc. With a strong background in vocal training, I bring professional expertise and a love for Indian music to each of my lessons. I focus on building a strong foundation in the essential techniques of Hindustani classical music, helping students develop breath control, pitch accuracy, and voice modulation—all essential elements that also enhance Hindustani Classical Music with Bollywood singing.

In my classes, students can expect a mix of traditional and modern teaching methods. I incorporate voice exercises, rhythmic drills, and raga practice to strengthen your musical skills, whether you're just starting or looking to refine your style. I also enjoy making the lessons interactive and fun, using familiar Bollywood songs to illustrate classical techniques, so students can relate the skills they’re learning to their favorite music. Each lesson is tailored to fit the student’s unique goals, whether you aim to perform, deepen your musical knowledge, or simply enjoy singing with confidence.

My approach is relaxed and encouraging, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable with their vocal journey.

I’m here to help you find your voice—let’s make some music together!

For artists, songwriters, and creatives ready to shape their vision.

Are you working on your own songs and feeling stuck?
Do you have a head full of ideas but struggle to bring them together into one clear artistic story?
Or maybe you’ve already created something you're proud of, but you want to take it further — deeper, bolder, more you.

I'm here to help you connect the dots.

As a singer, songwriter, producer and creative director working on my own debut album, I know how overwhelming the creative process can feel. There’s so much more to being an artist than just making music. Your sound, your visuals, your story, your live performance — it’s all connected. That’s where I come in.

In our sessions, we can explore whatever part of your creative world needs support:

🎵 Songwriting – melody, lyrics, structure, harmony
🎧 Production Direction – from early sketches to refined ideas
🌙 Artistic Identity – visual storytelling, aesthetics, branding
🎤 Performance & Presence – connecting with your audience
💡 Creative Strategy – organizing ideas and unlocking new ones
🌀 Intuitive Guidance – sometimes you just need a sounding board

You don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you're a beginner or a more advanced artist, we’ll work with what’s already inside you — your instincts, your taste, your questions. Sessions are fully personalized and can be a one-time deep dive or part of a longer creative journey together.

I am a passionate violinist with experience in ensembles, orchestras, and solo performances. For me, music means expression, connection, and growth. In my lessons, I want to share this joy, address each student's individual needs, and help them develop their technique, sound, and musicality with enthusiasm.

My lessons are aimed at beginners and advanced students who want to deepen their technique, musicality, and expressiveness. I place great emphasis on sound quality, intonation, posture, and musical understanding. Each lesson is individually tailored – with patience, structure, and inspiration. The goal is to awaken a joy of making music and foster personal growth.

Unlock the music within you? I help you find your way around Ableton so that you can be making your own music in no time. I learned my craft by trial and error over many years. I can teach you what I learned in a handful of classes and get you ready to experiment on your own.

Online sessions are held using Muse Sessions, which allows us to listen, view, and interact with your music software in real time.

My approach is fully tailored to your goals. Sessions typically focus on finishing tracks, developing ideas, improving arrangement and mixdowns, sound design, and building a more confident and efficient creative workflow.

We’ll work directly with your own music wherever possible, using it as the basis for focused, practical progress. We can also analyse and deconstruct released tracks that inspire you, breaking down structure, sound choices, and production techniques so you can apply them to your own work.

Alongside this, I’m happy to share insight from my own projects and releases, offering perspective on creative decision-making, workflow, and long-term development as an artist. For those interested in sound design, sessions can cover synthesis, samplers, effects, routing, modular and practical ways to get the most out of the tools you already use, whether software or hardware.

I also offer guidance on the wider industry side of music, including preparing music for release, getting signed, developing an artistic identity, self-releasing, content creation, and composing for film and TV.

These sessions are best suited to committed beginners through to intermediate producers who want clear feedback, direction, and momentum in their work.

Do you have a song that you've written that you believe could be amazing? Do you already have some skills using a DAW like Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools or Garage band? Would you like a new set of 'arrangers/producers ears' to redefine your song, reimagine it or simply improve what you have to bring it up to the best possible level?

I have worked in these areas where the boundary between composition, production and arrangement becomes blurred. The truth is they are inseparable to the end result and imagination is everything. So is an extra set of ears! Thats were I can help.

Which instrument to use ? (bass guitar or bass synth), which keys sound and where to place it in the mix. Where to set that high pass filter on the vocal? How much saturation does the snare need?

Musical arrangement and instrumentation
Production techniques, in the context of mixing
How best to use harmony in string quartets, or choirs or horn sections
How to place the guitar? Does it even need one?

I can give creative input and advise having written and composed more than 150 songs and recorded approximately 100+. Having run a UK based record label for almost 20 years.

If using a studio DAW, my experience is mainly with LogicPro although most creative 'arrangement' decisions do not need to be technical knob twiddling.

My background as a musician is vocals and guitars but as an arranger I've worked with everything.

Each lesson is tailored to the pace and interest of the student. I am a classically trained singer and multi-instrumentalist. I take a holistic whole body-mind approach when training the voice. I like to reference neuroscience studies in vocal development and the mechanisms of effective learning. I will keep the lesson relaxed, fun and the right amount of challenging. I look forward to gently guiding you on your musical journey

Do you dream of making your own beats and sounds and compose them into your own electronic dance music track, but don't know where to start? Or maybe you already made your bangers but want to perform them live for your fans?Don't worry, I got you covered!

For the past 10 years I have been using Ableton Live for sound design and composition to pursue my own style.
For me the inspiration was in breakcore, dub, psytrance, hardcore, tekno, classical music, punk, metal, ... but for you it can be something completely different. Maybe you know exactly what you want to achieve. If not, we can explore together where the adventure of music production will take you.

It doesn't matter if you are just starting from scratch, or if you already learned some things but want to dive deeper into the software. For Advanced students, I also teach modular audio synthesis with the free software VCV Rack.
