Ableton Lessons in Signal Mountain, TN. Amazing Teachers.

Professional drummer, composer, and sound engineer with 10+ years experience using Ableton. Ableton-certified and mix and mastering-certified from Dubspot. Ivy League degree in Music Theory (Columbia University). My work has appeared on Netflix, AMC, Discovery, and Showtime. I've toured using Ableton throughout Europe, Asia, and South America. I enjoy teaching electronic music as well as drums and guitar, and my goal is to meet students at all stages of their process and help them take their craft to the next level. Students have ranged in age from as young as 5 (drums) to as old as 75 (Ableton). It's never too early or too late to start making music!

The main goal of an Ableton class is to be able to effectively use all the tools that you are given to achieve your specific goal. Each student will have a different idea of what they want to create with this software, and its really important to be able to remove the technical obstacles and get straight to the creating. I will enable each student to be able to better visualize their projects, and I will train their ears to be able to better listen to sound such that they can understand the specifics behind creative decisions. As a producer you have to take both microscopic and macroscopic views when it comes to a piece of music, understanding how both a small sound can affect the progression of a story though music, and how the story itself unfolds over time. This can all be done through practical training in Ableton Live.

I will guide you towards finding your own voice as a producer, by teaching you all the basics and advanced skills needed to create your own compositions or remixes

In my lessons I go over all the most important parts of production - sound design, song structure, building energy, and transitions. Through taking the electronic music minor at UCSC and the Hyperbits Masterclass, I can teach you skills I learned for a fraction of the price I paid for those programs! Also, my style of production is for producers who want to DJ their music and share with crowds of people.
