Recording studio owner with 10 years industry experience teaches Sound Engineering, Music Production and Mixing

I teach from a hands-on and practical standpoint. Lessons will (ideally) be at my own commercial recording studio in East London, where you will learn about different kinds of microphones, recording techniques, phase correlation principles, signal flow methodology and basic studio construction. These lessons can also include recordings for demonstration purposes, which you are encouraged to take home for further learning and analysis.

These lessons would be ideal for someone looking for practical studio experience which can lead to a better chance at getting work in a commercial studio as an Engineering Assistant. They would also compliment someone taking a theoretical course in Audio Engineering and Production, or someone just interested in learning more about the function of recording studios.

About Me

I am an energetic and passionate individual who has over 10 years experience in the music industry, primarily working in large format analogue recording studios. Having been trained for over 2 years at the world renowned RAK studios and then going freelance for many years, I built and started my own recording studio in East London in 2020.

Having recently taken on a trainee assistant, my interest in tuition and passing on the knowledge I have amassed over the years has been piqued, and I am therefore keen to take on some students!

Education

I have a 2 year Sound Engineering Apprenticeship at RAK Studios when the government was funding apprenticeships, as well as a Diploma in Music Production and Business from PointBlank College, London.

Experience / Qualifications

I have over 8 years freelance work at RAK studios as well as some other studios across London. I also built and now run my own commercial recording studio in East London, where the lessons will be based.
