Music Composition and Sound Design for Beginners in Logic Pro X and Ableton Live 11/12

69 £ /h

I am specialising in music composition, sound design, audio editing and mixing which are paramount areas of audio for today's modern sound. I strongly believe that anyone can be taught how to produce a compelling track or sound that could be usable for any media outlet.

In Logic Pro X and Ableton Live 11 or 12, I will walk you through the basics and necessary fundamentals to create high quality music production, I tackle overlooked topics and offer a 'over-the-shoulder-look' approach to my students where they can see why I do certain decisions and what tools I tend to choose for specific tasks in order to achieve the sound that I have in my head.

I give instrumental lessons in trombone, piano, cello and music theory lessons. I aim to provide a thorough grounding in fundamental technique, whilst allowing the student to explore the music that they are interested in. I can help pupils achieve grades but I do not focus extensively on moving through grades, in favour of exploring a broader range of music and styles.

Hello there, I am Jools, London based session musician and music tutor.
I have classical training on piano, having studied for 11 years. I was lucky enough to work for FunKeys For Kids: that gave the chance to do peripatetic teaching and work with kids. And definitely there is nothing better than trying to show the passion for music.
My classes are generally for beginners and whoever wants to step into learning piano.
I do as well one to one tuitions where I am focusing more on right and left hand technique, sight reading, harmony.

And of course if there is a song you would like to learn I will be happy to show you how.
If this is for you do not hesitate to get in touch.

I am looking forward to teaching you

Drum Lessons: the student will be guided through a program that will develop music theory , reading skills and technique in equal measure, including advice on how to practice effectively and apply the subjects learned to real life music making.

Music Production Lessons: the student will learn how to use free, professional software, such as Apple's Garage Band for macOS or BandLab's Cakewalk for Windows users, to create his/her own tracks, by learning about music synthesis as well as contemporary production and mixing techniques.

I'm a drummer & percussionist with a varied musical repertoire from Jazz, Funky and Latin music.
I studied drums, congas, timbales and other percussions with remarkable teachers with particular attention to Cuban techniques and developing my own style in jazz improvisation and I can pass on my skills with individual lessons or for little groups (max 3) by teaching drums, congas, latin percussions and jazz improvisation. I aim to teach in a joyful way with relaxing drum circle when in a group in order to create a team spirit instead of a competitive one within a no judgemental environment that can allow to make you feel at your ease and express the best of you.

After teaching at top Private and State schools in the UK, I've just expanded my teaching business with 8 new slots for online piano students.

My teaching methods have proven effective with all age groups, from ages 6 and upwards. I've also spend significant time teaching adults and those with special needs.

Lessons focus on the needs of the student individually, and can be tailored to match any goal. Most students do tend to focus on the standard ABRSM exam route. But, I've extensively taught Rock, Pop, Jazz and musical Theatre to especially interested students.

Please do reach out with any questions!

Music theory (and/or music composition) lessons for students of all ages and abilities.

Whether you're hoping to pass a music theory exam, or you need help with the composition or listening side of GCSE or A-Level Music, or if you're simply looking to learn some music theory to help with your playing, I can help you.

I have 13 years' experience teaching music theory and composition. I'm a pianist and composer, with a thorough understanding of all instruments. I can cater the lessons uniquely to your level and needs, whether you're an absolute beginner or you're an experienced musician looking to deepen your knowledge of music theory. I cover all sorts of styles, including Classical, Jazz and Pop/Rock.

My lessons are friendly and encouraging, using audio examples and helpful diagrams. My students feel better equipped to play music and reach their goals as a result.

I have been teaching music and guitar for decades, privately and in music schools, and my approach starts with the student and his needs. In my experience those needs, together with goals and expectations, change with time and I can help my students determine what they want to achieve and how to best get there. I also find that there isn’t one way that works for everybody and I enjoy creating space for students to explore what music and the instrument mean for them.
Please be aware that I am a working musician and in order to support my student while I do the profession, a degree of flexibility on times and schedule might be needed

Music composition is a powerful tool for expressing inner voice and individuality, discovering new music worlds, and boosting creativity.

With a student, we will start by forming intonations and rhythms and building beautiful musical landscapes using all opportunities for any musical instrument.
