I'm Andres, a music producer, new to this platform. I enjoy teaching and although my approach is more on the creative side, I will give you the necessary technical tools for you to develop an easy and fluent workflow. Logic Pro is one of the best and most complete Digital Audio Workstations out there. If your passion is creating music or sound, either as a career or a hobby, this is a course for you.
I offer one-on-one lessons where my goal is to show students of different ages and levels how to achieve their own, unique sound with the tools that the software provides. There will be different areas to focus depending on each student, but those include but are not limited to music theory for producers, audio engineering for producers, song structuring, beat-making and more.
I will accommodate to your level of experience/knowledge in order to deliver good and valuable information to you. I look forward to meeting you!
P.S: Contact me for schedule flexibility.

Instrument Tuition:

Very flexible approach, I will teach based on individual needs. Beginners will learn the basics of the guitar, basic chords, basic scales etc. And advanced players will learn more complex chords, intricate scales, harmonies and improvisation.

If you just want to learn how to play your favourite songs, then I will teach you how to do that. If you want to learn about song writing, I will teach you that. Anything and everything.

Logic Pro X:

Equally as flexible and I will adhere to individual needs, I may need to start from the very basics even for proficient users. I have many years of experience and I graduated from Manchester MIDI School as a specialist in Logic Pro X. I will explain, demonstrate and test students about each subject per lesson.

We will look at MIDI, editing, recording, compression, EQ, Mastering, mixing, time stretching, FX, plugins, remixing, audio design, sound manipulation and so on.

I currently offer teaching and mentoring in the following areas:

- Music/Audio Production

- Guitar Performance

- Music Theory

My methods are generally adapted to each individual’s needs and objectives, however, they do not include classical music training approaches, such as sight reading or formal classical music training. Instead, my approach focuses on developing an intuitive understanding of music, through understanding elements such as intervalic structures, mathematical permutations, analogies derived from other disciplines etc. The ultimate goal of my approach is to allow the individual to form a way of thinking, which will allow she/he to compose, produce or play ANY type of music.

Logic Pro X is the most used DAW right now. It can be challenging for musicians or aspiring music producers to get the hang of it as usually the basics of audio mixing and production are not understood well, and so it gets in the way of songwriting ending up being frustrating!
Whether you are using Logic Pro X, or any other DAW I can teach you the basics of recording vocals and other instruments, the essentials about understanding signal chains and how to use compressors equalisers as well as reverbs and delays, how to mix and master.
I teach in my home studio in Battersea in Logic Pro X, but if you use any other DAW you are welcome to bring your own laptop so you can learn how to use your own equipment in the most efficient way!
Alternatively I can teach via Zoom.

Do you want to make people dance when you play? Is there that crazy drum part you just can't get right? Do you wish to manage the dynamics, the space, the sound of a song? Do you need help to prepare exams? ..(....)

Well, there's no one way to do things, and everybody has strengths and weaknesses. So, I propose we see together what is it that doesn’t come out just like you’d want it, and let’s find the right solution for you!

My priority as a teacher is to nurture my student’s passion for music. It is essential that playing the drums remains, above all, a fun and stimulating experience, and that studying is a consequence of this passion. Therefore I am devoted to fostering one's desire to improve, and I do provide all the tools necessary to overcome the challenges that you may face along the way.

My study program is holistic and is always tailored to your needs, your inclinations and your objectives.
All ages, all levels and all music tastes are welcome!

Some of the topics I like to cover:

- ergonomics, balance, grip
- brute technique and the rudiments
- hands and feet coordination
- the styles; style-chorent fills and variations
- the groove, the timing and the slowness
- reading and memory, the mental map
- copy the greats, listen to the records
- finding the sound
- playing with others and musicianship

Everything you need to learn to in order to create your own music and express your creativity.

Lectures, workshops, 1:1 tutorials.

Specialisms include Popular Music Songwriting, Music Production, Aesthetic Framework, and Introduction to Mixing Techniques.

Lectures: 1)How to compose with samples using human and performative elements. 2)The producer as composer. From a technical to an artistic matter. 3) Acoustic music within the soundscape of electronics.

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.

Ableton Live is a powerful music production and performance tool. I use it for music composition, sound design for moving image, live band and voiceover recording, live electronic music performance, triggering sound for theatre and shows, and for sound for art installations.

With 10+ years of experience using Ableton professionally and teaching the software at MA level, I will be able to guide you on how to unlock your creativity with this amazing software - you will be able to create in ways you never realised were possible!

I’m a Music Producer with experience in sound design and composition for moving image.
I have been using Ableton as my main daw for 12 years for electronic music production, ranging from pop and experimental music to studio recording sessions.

In the last few years, I’ve been focusing on assisting producers and songwriters with developing and improving their live electronic performance workflow. I can also provide consultancy on this topic, whether you’re interested in performing or rearranging your material.

This course is recommended for anyone who wants to discover the basics of Ableton Live or learn new music production techniques to extend their practice.
The course is flexible and can be tailored to everybody’s needs.

You’re sincerely encouraged to contact me to share your ideas and tell me about your projects to find a way together to develop your work and extend your Ableton knowledge by doing so.

I studied music production at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) under the mentorship of King James Britt, and at Abbey Road in London. I am well versed in most audio software (Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Logic Pro X), using all of these in a professional setting for over 5 years. Currently, I work as an audio engineer, mixing and mastering songs for clients as well as recording in major studios across the city, as well as working remotely for the studio that I started in Oxford (Lenka's Studios).

I would love to help you reach your specific goals in Audio production and pass on my knowledge. Students can bring their works in Progress for feedback and to be worked on, or they can ask in advance to learn more about a specific area of audio production (For example, recording techniques for drums or piano, mixing techniques for live recordings or for electronic music).

I have many years of experience in writing songs electronically, and for live instruments, for artists in the UK and the USA. If you want to learn more about songwriting, this is another area I would be happy to help with.

This class is suitable for beginners, intermediate, or advanced musicians, as well as music lovers who want to delve deeper into the art of music-making. We will use Ableton as our main DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) because of its powerful tools for creating, playing, producing, and even performing your live set in front of an audience. The class will be tailored to your interests and the music genres you want to explore. The goal is that by the end of your training with me, you’ll have the tools you need to write, produce, and mix a song—and even perform it live, if that’s something you're aiming for.

Unlock the secrets of professional sound mixing from someone who’s worked on productions for Netflix, Amazon, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, and more.

• Work with stems and multi-track sessions to deliver a polished final mix
• Avoid the most common mistakes beginners make when mixing audio for film and streaming platforms

This class is hands-on and tailored to your level — whether you’re a beginner learning the basics of audio post-production, or an intermediate producer looking to refine your mixes for broadcast and streaming.
