Gethin - Cardiff, United Kingdom£20

£20Learn how to compose music and find your own sound. Focusing on methods for always finding inspiration.

Trusted teacher: Music production can be difficult at times. We often find ourselves repeating the same techniques, and develop a formulaic approach to creating music. My course is centred around finding inspiration using many techniques including sampling and synthesis, and a lot of post processing. The philosophy of the creative process is an important aspect of my course. We will learn to take inspiration not only from music, but from books, visual arts, nature and anything imaginable. Simplicity is key to making coherent and music. Music and art is about expressing not thinking that there a only certain ways of composing. Breaking rules is essential to making good music. I will be using Ableton Live, but navigating and using DAWS have universal methods and end results.

Josh - London, United Kingdom£60

£60Music Production / Songwriting / Electronic Music Individual Tutoring

Almost all music today is made using computers—whether it's composed, recorded, or edited with music software. It has never been easier to create music yourself, requiring very little equipment or prior experience. I offer classes for all skill levels, from beginners who want to learn the basics and get to grips with music-making software, to experienced artists and producers looking to refine their skill set and make their music sound unique and professional. I have worked with artists across a wide range of genres, backgrounds, and ages. Through this experience, I’ve found that the common goal and joy in music is honest self-expression, something I pride myself on encouraging and facilitating, no matter your level of experience or confidence. The structure and timeline of the classes are flexible and can be tailored to your needs. For beginners, I typically recommend starting with an hour-long session once a week for ten weeks. The goal would be to finish at least two songs or pieces of music by the end of the course. Classes can be conducted in person or online. I am a classically trained musician. I was a chorister at Cambridge's King's College Choir as a child and received a music scholarship to one of the UK’s top secondary schools, where I studied trumpet, piano, viola, singing, and composition. It was there that I discovered my passion for music production on computers. I also achieved top grades in Music Technology and offer tutoring for Music Technology exams at both GCSE and A-Level. I then went on to study at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, specializing in Electronic and Produced Music, where I graduated with a first-class degree. My studies included modules in popular music production, songwriting, film music composition, acousmatic music, and orchestration, among others. Since then, I have been working with the charity Key Changes, where I visit psychiatric hospitals and forensic wards to collaborate with patients on music production and songwriting. A large part of this work involves creating instrumentals for rappers, which allowed me to learn how to produce drill and trap music. I’ve also run music production workshops for children aged 8-16 and provided individual tutoring to many young learners. I have an enhanced DBS check and extensive experience working with children aged 4 and up, including students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I look forward to hearing from you!
