Music Composition and Sound Design for Beginners in Logic Pro X and Ableton Live 11/12

A partir de 95.13 $ /h

I am specialising in music composition, sound design, audio editing and mixing which are paramount areas of audio for today's modern sound. I strongly believe that anyone can be taught how to produce a compelling track or sound that could be usable for any media outlet.

In Logic Pro X and Ableton Live 11 or 12, I will walk you through the basics and necessary fundamentals to create high quality music production, I tackle overlooked topics and offer a 'over-the-shoulder-look' approach to my students where they can see why I do certain decisions and what tools I tend to choose for specific tasks in order to achieve the sound that I have in my head.

Ableton Live is the new standard for electronic music. Its very easy to learn and with only a couple of lessons you will be able to start making your own music! Used by almost all EDM, House, Deep House and even Pop artists it is the must-have tool in the new decade. In our classes we will go over making beats, basic music theory, song-writing techniques and production techniques including advanced sound design with synthesizers. If requested, we can also move on to mixing to make your tracks sound just like what you hear on the radio.

I specialize in Ableton Live and have released albums on multiple record labels. I hold a degree in Music Production and Sound Engineering from Point Blank Music School and I am currently the Music Content Manager at Vochlea Music and the lead Ableton tutorial writer for Attack Magazine. I also own my own recording and production studio in East London.

My method is ... LEARN BY MAKING YOUR MUSIC!

The student will learn techniques, stylistic elements, tricks ... already by working on his first tracks: to keep motivation and satisfaction high, the result is always visible!
The lessons are face-to-face and personalised according to the level of experience and the musical style of the student. The presentation of the information is clear and accompanied by practical examples.

I'll show you how to:
- use Ableton Live,
- program and control synthesizers and virtual instruments,
- use microphone and sound card to record your voice and your instruments,
- process sound with effects (plugins) and optimize it for diffusion (mixing and mastering),
- make your songs, from start to the last details.

I also speak Spanish, French, German and Italian.

I have instructed students of different age groups in saxophone performance and music theory (including counterpoint, harmony and composition) up until university level, in Spain and the UK. After graduating from Cambridge with a double starred first, taking into consideration my academic results and teaching experience, I have also been selected for inclusion in the Supervisor Registry to teach counterpoint and harmony papers. My approach to lessons is very flexible, and I always try to adapt to the needs and qualities of each student. I believe that communication is essential, and at the beginning of each lesson I ask my students if they found my recommendations from the previous lesson helpful and how they see their progress. After this spoken introduction, we proceed to work on some warm-up and technical exercises. Then, we play some studies and pieces, or go over some music theory exercises, trying to apply the advice from the previous lesson and make further improvements. Finally, we conclude the lesson with a summary, listing the main key points and suggestions and comparing our experience to the previous lessons, trying to find a clear sense of progression and a coherent line of work towards a certain goal. This teleological mindset occupies a central position in my methodology, and I always encourage my students to look ahead and plan a series of stimulating events or challenges to look foward to, such as a concert, a recital, a presentation or an exam.

Music Producers and Sound Engineers, we use the expanded capabilities of studios to extend compositions into a device for arranging and composing (DAW: Logic Pro, ProTools, Ableton Live, OneStudio, Cubase, Reaper, Reason, etc). This has caused the recording studio to become a meta-instrument, to shape entire compositions. In my opinion, we are not any more composers of music, but we are composers of sound. As a music producer, not only the instrument played is decisive on the final result, but also the background elements, which can be heard or felt throughout the project, make such a big difference.

I'm a guitar student at ICMP London at the moment. For almost four years I've been dedicating myself completely to the guitar and all his surroundings, such as improvisation, tons of music theory, composing, producing, recording... I can give classes to anyone and any age. I have 2 years of experience giving music classes. Thanks a lot for reading!

Now a days the role of Music Producer has changed drastically. Not only do producers have to learn the business and build artists, they also are in charge of making the music themselves. This has made the demand for Producers way higher while the role has gotten even more interesting and challenging.

In the lessons I will be teaching the students how to make music (preferably with the software Fl Studio), navigate the music industry, build clients and push the boundaries of modern day sounds. I have found that teaching production ignites passion in students not just for music but in the arts as a whole. I will also be giving students access to emails and connections to artists I work with as rewards for dedication/practice to create more incentive to work harder.

This is a class intended for anyone looking to improve their musicianship and keyboard skills. Whether you're interested in playing classical music or popular tunes this class is meant to give you the technical guidance and musical knowledge required to achieve your goals.
The curriculum will be tailored to match the student's level and interests, with the possibility to focus more on performance, composition or theory. We will cover practice tips and students will get to pick their repertoire or bring forward pieces they'd like to work on.

When it comes to my teaching style, it's all about getting hands-on with lessons that are seriously dynamic. We dive into a world of visual examples and cool exercises, making learning electronic music production an absolute blast, all while keeping an eye on those crucial theoretical foundations.

I love whipping up a unique learning plan for each student, whether you're just starting out or already rocking some serious skills.

Mode:
- Online (via Zoom, where I can record the lesson so you can watch it on your own time)
- In-person (I'll grab a studio room to keep things comfy)

My story:
- Currently jamming with DNB ACADEMY, the go-to online school for mastering Drum & Bass music.
- Rolling with the big guns of Drum & Bass / Jungle labels in the UK like Dispatch Recordings, Sofa Sound, Flexout Audio & Rebel Music.
- Gigging in over 18 countries across Europe and South America, hitting up killer festivals like Outlook & Let it roll.
- I've been in the music production game for over 8 years back in Colombia, teaching at hotspots like DNA MUSIC, DJ ACADEMY & EL CLUB DE AUDIO. Plus, I've had loads of one-on-one sessions with awesome people from all around the world. Let's create some beats together!

This class is suitable for beginners, intermediate, or advanced musicians, as well as music lovers who want to delve deeper into the art of music-making. We will use Ableton as our main DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) because of its powerful tools for creating, playing, producing, and even performing your live set in front of an audience. The class will be tailored to your interests and the music genres you want to explore. The goal is that by the end of your training with me, you’ll have the tools you need to write, produce, and mix a song—and even perform it live, if that’s something you're aiming for.
