About Me
Hello,

English below!

I am a musician, singer, producer and DJ based in Brussels. I use Ableton Live and Logic Pro to create, record and produce my tracks, which blend electronic, soul and experimental sounds.

My courses are aimed at beginners who want to learn how to compose their first beats, understand DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), or simply bring their musical ideas to life.
We work directly on your style and your world, at your pace, in a concrete and creative way.

Whether you want to learn how to use Ableton Live, record your voice, or structure a complete song, I'll guide you step by step with simple and effective tools.

🎶 Objective: to make you self-reliant in creating your own music, from the first sound to the final production.

SKILLS TEACHED:

1. Mastering your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)
Learn how to navigate the interface, create audio/MIDI tracks, record, edit, and organize your project. Understand the basic concepts: tempo, grid, metronome, loops. This is the essential foundation before anything else.

2. Understanding audio signals and routing
Knowing what gain, volume, and panning are. Understanding the signal path (input → effects → output), buses, and sends. This will prevent a lot of technical frustration later on.

3. Compose and arrange using MIDI tools
Use a MIDI keyboard or piano roll to create melodies, chords and rhythms. Know the basics of music theory (scales, simple chords) and learn how to structure a song (intro, verse, chorus).

4. Use virtual instruments and samples
Explore basic synthesizers, sound banks (drums, basses, pads) and learn how to import/edit audio samples. Understand the difference between MIDI and audio, and how to combine them creatively.

5. Mix the bases: balance and clean
Adjust the relative volumes between tracks, use EQ to clean up unwanted frequencies, and add simple compression and reverb. The goal isn't a professional mix, but to make the track pleasant to listen to.

Are you passionate about music?
Are you an accomplished musician or DJ and want to increase your production possibilities?
Or are you just new and creative and don't know where to start?
Are you stuck and often having trouble finalizing a song?
Do you want a clear and structured follow-up without stuffing yourself with daunting manuals, confused youtube tutorials or overpriced training?

If you recognize yourself in these questions, I suggest you accompany you in the vast world of audio-digital and music production in home studio.
Because yes, nowadays, you can do everything from home, from the idea of ​​a song to its distribution on streaming platforms.
But on the other hand, despite the increasingly efficient hardware and software innovations, it is very difficult to find your way around, especially when you are just starting out.
I know, I've been there too.

Typical course and examples of courses:

Each student has different expectations and desires.
The advantage of private lessons is that I can adapt to your profile, whatever your starting level or your age.
In general, the first free course will allow you to get to know each other better and identify precisely your objective and your blockages.
I can then better respond and identify the key steps to achieve.

The theory is good but the practice is a thousand times more important.
We quickly set foot in the stirrup.
You are in front of the machine ready to do battle, and I stay by your side to guide you.

The courses then take place according to various learning axes determined together according to your profile:

- Discussion on the best material for your project, according to your personal objectives and your budget: Hardware, DAW, plugins...
- Familiarize yourself with DAW (“Digital Audio Workstation”): I work mainly on Ableton Live or Protools.
I can possibly teach you the basics (synthesis, composition, audio processing, signal flow) on Logic Pro.
Because it is important to familiarize yourself with the tool as best as possible and not to lose motivation in the face of what can look like a "gas factory" all in all quite intimidating for a novice in the matter.
This revolves around the following themes:
- Quick handling of any virtual instrument (VST Synth, sampler)
- How to record: your voice, external sounds, any other instrument (choice of microphone and placements, stereo, what to consider, mistakes to avoid ...)
- Compose a first song quickly
- Musical composition (tone, rhythm, melody and chord construction)
- Audio processing adapted to sound design or mixing (EQ, Compression, Reverb, Distortion, Sidechain, layering, automations...)
- Post-production (Mixing & Mastering): depending on your level,
Introduction to these trades:
What sets it apart from production?
Awareness of studio acoustics
Know how to read and interpret a waveform and frequency spectrum
Learn critical listening
More advanced course: work methodology, level management, Loudness, Mid / side, referencing


The benefits of medium-term support:

- obtaining commercially viable professional quality music, whatever your initial background and musical style
- greater clarity and autonomy in your future choices: you will be able to ask yourself the right questions
- an organization in all circumstances to remain productive and without inspiration breakdown
- and, overall, a progression in your artistic journey.

Trained at the Music Academy International, I propose private lessons of Guitar, Singing, and/or Audio Production centered on amplified music (funk, soul, jazz, rock, blues, etc.) and adapted to the requests of each student.

My classes are open to all, children and adults, beginners or advanced. I attach great importance to the understanding of the technical tools implemented in the interpretation of the pieces, a typical lesson is therefore divided between technical work with clear explanations and actual practice on songs to play or sing.

If the student is interested, I also teach the more theoretical aspects of music, such as harmony (scales, chords, modes, improvisation), music theory, rhythm, ear training, and deciphering.

I also offer coaching sessions. These are non-regular sessions to target work on specific aspects of the requested repertoire.
Each lesson is accompanied by work material (paper or audio) to practice at home.

For guitar lessons, an instrument can be made available, for singing lessons, I accompany the student on the piano or the guitar (it is also possible to use backing tracks when the key and tempo are right ) and for audio production, I can provide the software required to start on any operating system (Win, Mac, and Linux) (I don't work with pirated software).

Classes are given in my studio in Etterbeek, 5-minute walk from La Chasse.

I also teach group lessons for singing, do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
Flexible schedule (daytime or evening).

I also do a lot of sounddesign using my prophet 6 or record guitar and make it stand out in the mix.

I'm very happy to hear what you like to learn so I can adjust the lessons to exactly what you need!
Please tell me what the issues are you're having or what you would like to learn and I'll make sessions at your personal level.

For myself, I mainly use Ableton to make electronic (deep house) music with rock influences.

Are you passionate about music?
Are you an accomplished musician or DJ and want to increase your production possibilities?
Or are you just new and creative and don't know where to start?

If you recognize yourself in these questions, I suggest you accompany you in the vast world of audio-digital and music production in home studio.

But on the other hand, despite the increasingly efficient hardware and software innovations, it is very difficult to find your way around, especially when you are just starting out.
I know, I've been there too.

- Familiarize yourself with DAW (“Digital Audio Workstation”): I work mainly on Ableton Live or Protools.

This revolves around the following themes:
- Quick handling of any virtual instrument (VST Synth, sampler)

The benefits of medium-term support:

Trained at the Music Academy International, I propose private lessons of Guitar, Singing, and/or Audio Production centered on amplified music (funk, soul, jazz, rock, blues, etc.) and adapted to the requests of each student.

My classes are open to all, children and adults, beginners or advanced. I attach great importance to the understanding of the technical tools implemented in the interpretation of the pieces, a typical lesson is therefore divided between technical work with clear explanations and actual practice on songs to play or sing.

If the student is interested, I also teach the more theoretical aspects of music, such as harmony (scales, chords, modes, improvisation), music theory, rhythm, ear training, and deciphering.

I also offer coaching sessions. These are non-regular sessions to target work on specific aspects of the requested repertoire.
Each lesson is accompanied by work material (paper or audio) to practice at home.

For guitar lessons, an instrument can be made available, for singing lessons, I accompany the student on the piano or the guitar (it is also possible to use backing tracks when the key and tempo are right ) and for audio production, I can provide the software required to start on any operating system (Win, Mac, and Linux) (I don't work with pirated software).

Classes are given in my studio in Etterbeek, 5-minute walk from La Chasse.

I also teach group lessons for singing, do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
Flexible schedule (daytime or evening).

Hello, I'm Sam :)

As a music producer I've been working with Ableton live for both recording and making music as well as Live performances.

I'm comfortable using Ableton stock plugins but also 3th party plugins such as Fabfilter plugins (Q3, R, L2,...) and making percussive sounds with Serum (or Operator in Ableton).
I also do a lot of sounddesign using my prophet 6 or record guitar and make it stand out in the mix.

I'm very happy to hear what you like to learn so I can adjust the lessons to exactly what you need!
Please tell me what the issues are you're having or what you would like to learn and I'll make sessions at your personal level.

For myself, I mainly use Ableton to make electronic (deep house) music with rock influences.
