Music Production using the GarageBand app on an iPad
From 27 £ /h
Garageband is a powerful Digital Audio Workstation that allows musicians and beginner producers to record a whole album if they wish. I'll teach you how to remake a song/piece of your choosing from the ground up. You'll use the inbuilt virtual instruments, your own voice, and your guitar/keyboard to rebuild your chosen track or give it your own unique stamp.
Music production is a huge topic so I'll teach you the essential musical skills such as ear training, understanding rhythm and basic harmony. You'll learn basic recording skills using the iPad mic or an interface and we'll use virtual/real instruments to record the parts. You'll learn how to edit and I'll show you how to create an interesting song structure and how to layer multiple instruments so they don't clash! Finally, we'll look at mixing, effects, and EQ to give your track a professional polish!

About Me
I feel happiest when I’m teaching anything to do with music or Music Technology. My sister passed her love of music onto me when she played me Trick of the Tail by Genesis when I was 10 years old! I want my legacy to be passing that passion on to other people.
I have a firm belief in focussing on musical fundamentals such as ear training, counting and feeling rhythms and understanding theory rather than just following a method book. It is about fostering a deep love for music and teaching others how to realistically use musicianship in the real world. This could be having the confidence to play and sing at an open mic or to accompany someone on Piano or Guitar.
I particularly want to reach people who understand that it’s about so much more than getting through grades as quickly as possible. I specialise in Rock and Pop and can teach other styles if required. My suggestion for an ideal musical roadmap would be to learn drums, then keyboards then guitar as this would be the easiest and most engaging way to develop musicality.

Experience / Qualifications
I’m comfortable teaching guitar, keyboards, drums, theory and any aspect of Music Technology. I also offer group classes such as Rock band, iPad music making and music to picture.
I’ve taught privately for years and have experience in Primary schools including being a music peripatetic and a whole class PPA tutor. I was a Music Worker with young people at the YMCA and have taught guitar to adults at HMP Humber. I taught small group guitar online during lockdown then mixed age keyboard groups of 4 for the last 3 years but I also love teaching 1 to 1s.
I’ve tried a few different methods and approaches and have found lots of ways to engage different ages, abilities and needs. I use musical board games, singing, quizzes, youtube and iPad apps and I’m a fan of using gear like my Akai force and looper to make it fun! I love using cool online tools such as Solfeg.io and Piano Adventures.
I use various books including Rockschool and Hal Leonard and can teach up to grade 8. I’ve played all three instruments in various bands and currently host open mics.
