Music production from home / Home studio setup & configuration

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
From connection to production through and configuration and until the final result is obtained on social networks or music platforms, you will learn all the intermediate steps to spread your creativity in the connected world.

With specific expertise on Apple Logic Proc X and Ableton Live, the same principles are valid on any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) as well as on the configuration that is specific to you.

I also advise you on the hardware (physical hardware / software) to buy according to your specific needs.

This applies to anyone without age barrier, as long as the will and passion is there ...

Using a computer and these applications can be complicated for some and I therefore offer training to those who need it. This training includes basic and advanced use of Windows computers and/or Mac OS (Apple) multiple applications such as the MS-Office suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel etc.), Teams, Outlook etc... Being a graduate with more than 20 years of experience at different levels in the field, it is possible to approach different levels of complexity from beginner to expert in Microsoft/Windows and/or Apple/MacOS/IOS environments. Do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to answer your questions. David

Cello class, composition, tango and folklore style
I have a degree in musical composition and a cellist. In this course we will be able to work on musical theory, composition tools for all instruments, the possibility of making arrangements and adaptations and creating new music. In addition, take instrument classes focused on the music you prefer. In addition, we can work on how to approach music such as Argentine tango and its styles, either from the instrument (which can be for any string instrument, since the techniques are adaptable) or directly from the composition, where we can work for instrument harmonic soloist, trios, quartets, typical orchestra or the organic one you want! I am very flexible in the content and we can make the classes very personalized! Any questions do not hesitate to write me!

Master the Score: Elevate Your Music Theory Skills with Online Lessons by Martin Levallois
I'm Martin! I've studied Guitar Performance major at Berklee College of Music. I have previously taught students ranging from children to elders, in various guitar styles including jazz, rock and pop. I worked as a Core Music Tutor at Berklee College of Music, where I provided individual, hourly tutoring sessions. During the class time I assisted the students in completing coursework and projects in subjects like Fundamentals of Ear Training, Music Fundamentals, Music Application and Theory, Harmony 2-4, Ear Training 1-4, Solfege 1-2, Arranging 1-2, Tonal Harmony and Composition 1-2, Art of Counterpoint, and Conducting 1. During this job I got certified by the College Reading and Learning Association through trainings offered in the program. I would describe my teaching philosophy as organic and holistic. I believe that with unlimited content at their fingertips, people today tend to be overwhelmed by the amount of information, whereas I consider it should be a mix between knowledge and perceptual approach. I understand the student needs its own time to digest knowledge and incorporate it.

I'm a classical pianist, but I am opened to other musical styles. What I want you to get from your lessons with me, is not only a huge knowledge of theorical stuff or a great technique, I would like to show you my musical world, the imagination and inner exploration that is required to understand and to love music in a whole new level. Once you have found them, it will be very hard to quit playing! The class duration: You can choose! 20 minutes (Great for the youngest : 3 years old) 30 minutes (Ideal for young beginners from 4 years old) 45 minutes (Intermediate+ adult beginners) 1 hour (Intermediate and combined with some Music Theory) I use different methods depending on: 1) The goals of my student 2) The language that we will use on class 3) Age and musical preferences: I start to teach children from 3 years old, we make games and they learn to play through musical stories that I have created throughout my pedagogical career.

Music production classes in Ableton/FL Studio/Bitwig Studio
The classes are adapted to the needs and interests of the student. There is nothing more rewarding than choosing what we want to learn and being able to discover the worlds that art and music have to offer. I have professional experience to teach in three different softwares (Ableton, Fl studio and Bitwig Studio) In addition to the knowledge so that we review all types of concepts associated with musical production, not just the technical. (Musical theory, analysis of references, creative composition techniques, mixing and mastering, etc.) The idea is that we can live a creative laboratory where you can experiment and explore music with all the tools that technology gives us to enhance that experience. Classes range from a completely basic level to an advanced level.

Music production/film music: are you tired of constantly watching YouTube videos just to get an insight into music production?
Are you tired of constantly watching YouTube videos just to gain insight into music production? Then your search is over. I offer you personalized private courses that show you which steps are necessary from the idea to the finished piece. Thanks to my studies in music production in Berlin (B.A) and years of experience as a musician and composer, I can show you in a professional but also very entertaining way which steps are necessary from the idea to the finished song. I would be happy to make all of my knowledge available to you. I invite you to my studio, where I mainly work with Logic. A large selection of well-known plugins and hardware complement my setup. We will be happy to see each other either via Zoom or, if you live near Torrevieja (Alicante), in my studio. Let's develop a piece of music for a short film scene. From the idea to the finished product and then we mix and master it too. However, if you are only interested in individual modules, we will create a study plan tailored to your needs. Students who speak English or German are well suited. But I also speak some Spanish and can therefore help you in Spanish as well.
