Songwriting -

My approach to songwriting is this - anyone can write a song! My goal is to show you some simple, fun, practical and effective methods of how you can write a song (you don't even need to be able to play an instrument!). Once you finish your song, you'll also have the opportunity to record it if you desire to do so (these lessons can tie in very well with the music production lessons). We will cover topics such as:

Lyrics
Chords
Melody
Structure
Co-writing

Music production -

After the initial stages of writing the song, you'll learn how to record it and turn it into a sonically awesome sounding piece of music. We'll cover topics such as:

Recording
Editing
Mixing
Mastering
MIDI Programming (drums and synthesized sounds)
Effects
Dynamics
Equalisation

Genres/Styles:

Rock and pop
Acoustic/singer-songwriter
Orchestral
Gospel
Soundtrack/instrumental

Releasing your music -

After developing your song to an excellent standard, you'll then have an opportunity to learn how to share it with the world on iTunes, Spotify and other digital music stores.

If you are interested in finding out more, please feel do free to get in touch, I'm always happy to help.

Digital audio work stations are powerful computer based software which process analogue signals and digital information in order to reproduce sound recordings. They can then be edited, manipulated and produced into music with manifold applications and an increasing variety of options.

As a sound producer I have over ten years of experience with different DAWs from Protools, to Studio One and am happy to guide students on how to effectively record their own music from home.

-Lesson are 1 hour. Can accommodate to students' requirements and additional support needs.
︎-Ages 12 to 65+.
-All contemporary styles are welcome (Pop, rock, folk, etc.)

I strongly believe students learn best when they are feeling inspired and challenged, so my priority is to support my students in meeting their individual goals - no matter how ambitious - while making every step enjoyable. Likewise, every lesson plan is personalised to fit my students' interests, support needs, level of commitment and time outside of our lessons, and any specific goals. I am patient, enthusiastic, encouraging, and passionate about teaching and that they have improved their singing from the first few lessons. I’m a professional singer-songwriter and multiple award-winning entrepreneurial independent artist. I am a freelance tutor and I deeply enjoy sharing with a range of students all the knowledge I acquired from Berklee College of Music and my career experience around the USA, Latin America and New Zealand.

Besides singing and vocal coaching, I offer my singing students songwriting, performance skills, and self-accompaniment lessons to complement their journey of becoming fully fleshed musicians.

Whether you've never written music before, or you're a seasoned professional looking to learn new skills, I want to help your music be the best it can.
I can teach how you how to write music using a computer, your instrument, or for other musicians to play. I can teach you how to record yourself and then prepare those recordings for release.
I have experience writing music in a range of styles, including film scores, EDM, ambient, and classical music. I have helped artists in folk, metal, EDM, hip hop, rock, pop, and many other genres.

Composition
I can help you to choose a digital audio workstation, which you can use to write and record music. I can help you install it and get it set up on your computer. I can then guide through sourcing and installing virtual instruments that will let you create music in any genre, and for any purpose. Once you're setup, I can guide you through creating your first musical ideas, and then developing them into cohesive musical pieces. I can teach you how to write music for others, and contribute to creative projects. Once you've been learning for a while, or if you already have experience, we can start to cover more advanced topics such as orchestration, synthesis, and more complex musical forms.

Production
Music production is the process of taking a basic musical piece, such as a song, and arranging and polishing it to prepare it for release. I can teach you to arrange parts for strings, synths, or choir, or write drum, bass, guitar, or keyboard parts. I have worked with artists in folk, metal, rock, pop, jazz, RnB, hip hop, and EDM. No matter your genre, I can help you polish your songs and prepare them for release.

Audio Engineering
Do you want to set up your own home recording studio? To learn how to record and mix your own songs? Or are you just curious to understand more about how the recording process works in studios? I can teach all you need to know about microphones, audio interfaces, and how to record your own instruments. I can give you advice on what equipment you need to get started on setting up your own studio at home. I can also teach you how to edit and mix recordings and songs so that every element is clear and serves the rest of the song well. Finally, I can teach you to master your song to prepare it for release, ensuring that it is loud and clear, no matter where you publish it.
