Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Do you have ideas in your head but you still haven't taken the plunge? Whether you are a novice or an experienced musician, I suggest you dive into production with a tailor-made course on Ableton Live software.

I have been a passionate musician and producer for over 10 years (trained guitarist), and I am here to help you discover and master all the subtleties of Ableton.

Who should attend :

- You are a beginner and you want to discover the interface while composing your first song.
- You are an intermediate or experienced user and would like to perfect your skills and learn more advanced techniques.

What you can expect:

For beginners :
> Discovery of the Ableton Live interface while creating your first composition
> Practical approach without theoretical overload
> Optimization of the course according to your objective and your musical desires

For Intermediate and Advanced Users:
> In-depth analysis of your compositions with personalized feedback
> Fixed weaknesses and improved existing songs
> Exploring new production techniques, sharing tips, shortcuts and templates
> Substantial section on mixing and sound design

Examples of topics covered:

- Interface: you will learn to navigate between Audio and MIDI, choose from the available tools, create templates and use essential shortcuts.
- Recording: I will explain to you how I go about properly recording voices or instruments while optimizing your room acoustically.
- Composition: learning to use virtual instruments, introduction to sound design and exploration of creative composition techniques (no music theory necessary).
- Arrangement: effectively structure a piece like the pros to avoid redundancy.
- Mixing: control of effects, integration of external plugins, mixing techniques.

Took his time to explain everything. Was a great introductory course.
Want to learn to play the guitar? Whether you're just starting out or want to refresh and perfect what you've already learned, I'm here to help you improve and motivate you. I'm passionate about music and have been playing guitar for over 10 years. I've been giving lessons since 2015 and have already met many very different profiles. My course is for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors). And it's never too late to start, unlike what you often hear! I can adapt to many styles, and my musical tastes are quite diverse (rock, pop, folk, variety, reggae, hip hop, classical, etc.). Here's an example of topics that can be covered while learning songs: - Positioning for comfortable practice with minimum fatigue. - Chords: discover the basic chords to play your first notes. - Rhythm: work on rhythm with simple, repeatable exercises. - Musical styles: explore different musical genres with songs suitable for beginners. My approach is all about practice, not theory. The aim is to have fun while learning new techniques as the songs increase in difficulty. And as not everyone starts out with the same level or the same objectives, I naturally adapt the course to suit each person's desires and progress. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them!

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.

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.

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.

Harmony and Classical Writing
This applied music theory course is for any passionate musician, regardless of level. It aims to broaden his musical knowledge and abilities by understanding music as a whole. The goal is to be able to decode and understand how a music (not only of classical style, but also pop, jazz, rock, electro, ...) was composed, and to be able to use interesting harmonies oneself. and solid in a personal composition / production. It is made up of two main topics: * Harmony (building chords, understanding chord diagrams, learning to Harmonize a given melody, the possibility or not of using these Harmonies in a given style, etc.). But also understand the key, how to build a scale, how to navigate between different keys, how to transform a classic chord suite into another style? Harmony is a course open to all and all levels, no prerequisites to have. Any passionate musician will find interest in it, that's guaranteed. * Writing is a much more targeted course, which is already an introduction to classical composition. In this branch, we will develop the rules of classical writing (parallel fifths and octaves, false relations etc, ...) within the framework of an exercise based on a given melody or bass (in the first case it will be necessary to invent harmonization and compose a bass, in the second, it will be necessary to invent the harmonization and the melody). This course can also be used by academy or conservatory students who wish to prepare for the writing exam, or simply to deepen their knowledge.

Private lessons Home studio, Ableton, Music production and Audio mixing
Are you passionate about music? Are you an accomplished musician or DJ and want to increase your production possibilities? Or are you just new and creative and don't know where to start? Are you stuck and often having trouble finalizing a song? Do you want a clear and structured follow-up without stuffing yourself with daunting manuals, confused youtube tutorials or overpriced training? If you recognize yourself in these questions, I suggest you accompany you in the vast world of audio-digital and music production in home studio. Because yes, nowadays, you can do everything from home, from the idea of ​​a song to its distribution on streaming platforms. But on the other hand, despite the increasingly efficient hardware and software innovations, it is very difficult to find your way around, especially when you are just starting out. I know, I've been there too. Typical course and examples of courses: Each student has different expectations and desires. The advantage of private lessons is that I can adapt to your profile, whatever your starting level or your age. In general, the first free course will allow you to get to know each other better and identify precisely your objective and your blockages. I can then better respond and identify the key steps to achieve. The theory is good but the practice is a thousand times more important. We quickly set foot in the stirrup. You are in front of the machine ready to do battle, and I stay by your side to guide you. The courses then take place according to various learning axes determined together according to your profile: - Discussion on the best material for your project, according to your personal objectives and your budget: Hardware, DAW, plugins... - Familiarize yourself with DAW (“Digital Audio Workstation”): I work mainly on Ableton Live or Protools. I can possibly teach you the basics (synthesis, composition, audio processing, signal flow) on Logic Pro. Because it is important to familiarize yourself with the tool as best as possible and not to lose motivation in the face of what can look like a "gas factory" all in all quite intimidating for a novice in the matter. This revolves around the following themes: - Quick handling of any virtual instrument (VST Synth, sampler) - How to record: your voice, external sounds, any other instrument (choice of microphone and placements, stereo, what to consider, mistakes to avoid ...) - Compose a first song quickly - Musical composition (tone, rhythm, melody and chord construction) - Audio processing adapted to sound design or mixing (EQ, Compression, Reverb, Distortion, Sidechain, layering, automations...) - Post-production (Mixing & Mastering): depending on your level, Introduction to these trades: What sets it apart from production? Awareness of studio acoustics Know how to read and interpret a waveform and frequency spectrum Learn critical listening More advanced course: work methodology, level management, Loudness, Mid / side, referencing The benefits of medium-term support: - obtaining commercially viable professional quality music, whatever your initial background and musical style - greater clarity and autonomy in your future choices: you will be able to ask yourself the right questions - an organization in all circumstances to remain productive and without inspiration breakdown - and, overall, a progression in your artistic journey.
