MAO class with a hyper-creative professional named Costals
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
After getting started with your music application (eg Ableton Live) you can experience a fun-oriented approach.I will teach you how to unleash your creative genius using different games. The rules of these games will act as restrictions. The idea is to encourage creativity by limiting the options. Options which are far too numerous and which destabilize beginners, and not only!
Over the weeks, and ideally through daily work on your part, you will develop your own unique style - music that only you can make, no one else.
My approach is based on quality through quantity. If you want to make good music, you have to be willing to make bad music. And a lot ! I will teach you how to strengthen your mindset to overcome all the psychological blockages that creators face.
Thanks to this methodology, you will progress very quickly while having fun.
I can guarantee you will finish your first track in 1 month - as long as you can spend at least 15 minutes a day, take one class a week, and accept the idea that you will never be 100% satisfied with it. your work (this is normal). It doesn't matter what you think about it at the moment - your opinion changes, and what is certain is that you will have learned a lot in no time.
I also help you get the right material depending on how you want to make music and your budget. However, you can make music simply with Ableton Live and headphones or speakers.

About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I mainly publish music.I was born near Gallipoli in southern Italy in 1987, and grew up in the canton of Geneva in Switzerland, where I am still based.
Active for ten years. DJ practicing since 2005 and performing since 2008, I have always shared my favorites through my mixes.
When I started in the trance scene, I was very influenced by Swiss DJs / producers Koris, Madwave, Dave Joy and above all, the prolific Marco Guardia who was behind the SHOKK and Flutlicht projects, as well as some Tatana productions , Energy and many others. Today Marco Guardia makes music for video games under the name of Monomirror. Hyper-creative who learns very quickly, he recently created almost by himself from A to Z the game Octahedron.
In 2019 my first series of ten years of existence with more than fifty episodes.
I launch my own label in 2020 and develop my online coaching business for people who want to live music.

Private course of Piano/Composition/Computer Music with AppMuse
< Learning Piano is not merely about playing the piano >
Before starting to learn the piano, it’s essential to recognize that :
'' What we are actually learning is "Music", but not only "Piano". ''
The goal of learning any instrument is to acquire the language of music, enabling us to express ourselves and enjoy music with others. Playing the piano is for creating beautiful sounds, not really for developing finger speed or strength. That’s the function of gym.
< Music is like cooking >
When we cook, to make roast beef tender, of course, it’s nice to have a tender heart, but without knowing how to control the temperature, the roast beef won’t become tender merely by our tender heart.
By only adding salt, the dish won’t be sweet. Similarly, simply playing or writing a C major triad chord won’t convey a sorrowful feeling.
To create the feeling we want, no matter how much sentiment we have in our hearts, to convey it via music, it needs to be translated into the language which the piano can understand, which means, how we press and lift the keys and pedals. Similarly, when we compose, it needs to be transferred into chords, and notes we write.
< Difference between an audience and a musician >
There is a common belief that a musician can make music with sentiment or feeling. While it’s partially true, the most essential thing is knowing ‘’How’’ to create the sound that conveys the feeling we want, rather than merely knowing ‘’What’' feeling we want to convey.
The understanding of the mechanism behind music is essential, as cooking, and that is the difference between an audience and a musician. As an audience, one can simply feel the music. Like a chief who knows how to create a specific flavor to convey, a musician knows how to create the sound which can convey the feeling we want. While knowing which feeling we want is great, it’s merely the first step. Your emotions are not too different from Chopin, Beethoven, Adele or Taylor Swift, otherwise, they can’t resonate with you. But they know how to create the sound that conveys the feeling they want to their audience.
< Course Content >
I consider my course to be a form of "Music Consultation" because it contains a wide range of subjects that are essential to a professional musician. While we focus on piano playing, there are also music theory, music history, instrument construction, ergonomics for performers, analysis of composer styles, composition, arrangement, recording, MIDI, computer music, the physics of sound, and more.
In avoid of confusion, let’s still call my course as "Piano Course”.
< Duration >
For each course, I will reserve at least 70 minutes in my schedule for you, including 60 minutes of class time and an additional 10 minutes for discussion and any questions you may have. This will ensure that your courses are not rushed by the next student. This ensures that there is enough time for you to solve your piano and music problems.
< Recording >
I highly encourage my students to record their progress. This can provide an objective standard for comparison and help you analyze your playing precisely. In my nine years of experience teaching music, I've found many students, including those advanced, already play certain sections very well, while other sections may not be not well enough. But they still try to improving those fine sections, while not aware of those weak sections.
Without an objective reference, it’s hard to distribute our effort precisely. This can lead to not only unstable performance, but also practicing without a precise goal can easily reduce enthusiasm. Recording your results and comparing them with those recordings you like on YouTube or Spotify can be an effective way to analyze your playing and set precise goals.
If you have a digital piano, I can help you produce a video of your performance for each session. This can be a tangible record of your efforts and you can share it with your friends and family via YouTube or other platforms.

Violin and Music Lessons with Mateusz
I offer individual violin and music lessons for children, teenagers, and adults — from beginners to advanced levels.
My teaching approach combines classical instrumental technique with a modern understanding of what it means to be a musician today. In each lesson, we work not only on playing the violin, but also on:
understanding the fundamentals of music theory and harmony,
learning how to record music using accessible technologies (home studio, apps, microphones),
developing a strong sense of artistic identity and stage presence.
These sessions are designed as creative and engaging encounters, where students develop both their musical skills and artistic imagination. I teach the way I would want to be taught — with passion, openness, and respect for each individual’s unique voice.

ABOUT ME
I am an experienced music educator and have taught hundreds of lessons ranging from beginners to the graduate level. I structure my lessons around students' goals while encouraging them to keep open minds (and ears).
I am a graduate of Yale University, the École Normale de Musique de Paris, the Fontainebleau Conservatory, and the Royal Carillon School of Belgium. I currently make music in Paris, where I am a 2023/24 lauréat of the Cité internationale des arts and a Mortimer Hays Traveling Fellow from Brandeis University. I was the 2021-2022 recipient of a Fulbright-Harriet Hale Woolley Award at the United States Foundation in France, and received the 2022 Rosalind Swenson Fulbright Enrichment Award. I am also a Fellow of the Belgian-American Educational Foundation. My most recent musicological article, "Overtones, Sonic and Politic: Octatonicism, Minor Thirds, and Bells," was published in Volume 71 of the scholarly journal of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America in April 2022. Although I studied classical composition in school, I write music in many genres including classical, rock, jazz, pop, and film scores. I played the guitar and the drums in several rock and folk bands in high school. My favorite band is the Beatles. Outside of music, I enjoy making watercolor paintings of trees.
