Ableton Live production and the DAW hidden tricks, and/or visual programming with Max/MSP/Jitter.

From 37.51 £ /h

Ableton Live is a great program, but it takes a while to get the hang of it. I have been working with it for 7 years and am starting to know it inside and out. It speeds up your creation process enormously if you know the software well. Otherwise it can take a long time and you get discouraged faster. In addition to Ableton Live, I am also starting to know Max. This is not a DAW but a visual programming language that is often used by artists because you do not have to learn to write code for it right away. You can use it to make music, but also for lights and video. It is a very deep program with many possibilities. I can give you the basics of this.

Extra information

Make sure you already have the programs on your computer.

About Me

I have been releasing electronic music for a few years now. If you want to listen you can find me by my artist name: BLAHMI. My background in classical music has a big influence on this, although the music is electronic. I like to mix all kinds of styles but attach great importance to classical music. For me it is the basis, the better you know the rules, the better you can break them. I have followed Harmony and Counterpoint at a high level and this has given me a lot of insights. However, I am a big supporter of contemporary music and know the "contemporary" styles and have written in them myself. I like to pass on all this knowledge because besides just composing myself, I love teaching.

Education

After graduating in classical piano at Muda, I continued my studies at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. However, I started with Composition instead of piano, because I prefer writing to playing. In my second bachelor Composition, I also started a second bachelor Music and Technology. This second direction mainly revolves around programming effects (in Max) and seeing the computer as an instrument within classical music. We develop new "instruments" and then compose for this instrument (the computer) ourselves. Solo or ensemble, mixed with acoustic instruments for example. I am starting to know my way around Max/msp/Jitter quite well and I have been using Ableton Live for 7 years. I have had lessons in mixing/mastering and often do this myself for my own music. I also still follow classical composition.

Experience / Qualifications

From the age of 15 I wanted to be a professional musician, and I have had lessons from all kinds of teachers, and have seen all kinds of things. I know what taking lessons is. I have been teaching classical piano for a few years myself, where I also like to teach some music theory and I enjoy it immensely.

Composition in all styles and/or music theory, harmony and counterpoint.

37.51 £ /h

When you are writing music, it is very important that you show your music to people. Someone with experience in composition, even better. It is sometimes difficult to take that step to show your pieces that you have worked hard on. But this is a very important step, it makes you more confident in your own piece. From then on, people can receive feedback and evolve further. In my lessons, I work mainly on structure and learning to compose. If necessary, I will also work on details, but first the idea and the form have to be right. Composing is an evolution and I myself am getting better every year.

To compose better, thorough music theory is also important. Just as you can express yourself better with more vocabulary, you can write better music and translate your idea into notes better with more music knowledge. The importance of this is often underestimated. For me, music theory (all the basic knowledge but especially harmony and counterpoint) go hand in hand.

I am Jess, a musician and producer from Ghent, graduated as a bachelor in music at PXL Hasselt. In the meantime I have been teaching guitar for 10 years at music studios and in the form of private lessons at home. Besides teaching I have my own project called Monagi and I write/produce for bands like Tout Va Bien and Patches. I also play guitar at TheShadow Machine. All my lessons take place in a relaxed atmosphere in my music studio in Ghent at your own pace.

For beginners: During our guitar lesson you can bring your own songs that you want to work on or together we will see what the best songs are for you and what you can learn the most from. This ranges from the basic chords that make up most pop / rock songs to playing along with the melody or accompanying yourself while singing. So you can play what you always dreamed of in no time!

For advanced users: Together we look at what you want to work on in terms of rhythm, soloing or improvisation. Which styles you are familiar with or which you would like to learn to play. These lessons are ideal for you if you want to broaden your knowledge of the guitar or if it feels like you've reached a plateau you can't get past.

I'm a certified sound engineer and I have prepared a course for beginners and early intermediates, who want to dive into the world of music production.

I got my bachelor's degree in Music Technology and Acoustics at the Hellenic Mediterranean University. I squeezed out the most useful and meaningful knowledge of a four year curriculum into a 3 month course to help young people save precious time.

Instead of roaming through reels and videos online, join my course and earn a solid foundation in recording techniques, editing, mixing, production techniques, MIDI theory, acoustics theory and the basics of mastering. By the end of the course, you'll be confident enough to produce your first single or EP.
