I will help students build music production skills! I can provide an introduction to making beats, soundscapes, field recording, and general listening recommendations or help aspiring producers with tracks. I'm experienced in Digital Audio Workstations such as Ableton Live (I run Ableton 11), Audacity, and Koala Sampler and have experience teaching beatmaking classes for beginners and intermediate students. For beginner students, we will start with inexpensive DAWS and talk about what kind of electronic music best suits their purpose. I will also provide listening and historical examples that can provide inspiration for production.

I am a PhD candidate at UC San Diego offering private lessons in music composition. I hold a Master's Degree in Music Composition from Rice University and a Bachelor's Degree in Music Composition from Eastman School of Music. I am experienced writing both acoustic and electronic music in classical and experimental styles and am happy to tutor students of any level. I work in Sibelius and can also help with engraving scores.
