< Learning Piano is not merely about playing the piano >

Before starting to learn the piano, it’s essential to recognize that :

'' What we are actually learning is "Music", but not only "Piano". ''

The goal of learning any instrument is to acquire the language of music, enabling us to express ourselves and enjoy music with others. Playing the piano is for creating beautiful sounds, not really for developing finger speed or strength. That’s the function of gym.

< Music is like cooking >

When we cook, to make roast beef tender, of course, it’s nice to have a tender heart, but without knowing how to control the temperature, the roast beef won’t become tender merely by our tender heart.

By only adding salt, the dish won’t be sweet. Similarly, simply playing or writing a C major triad chord won’t convey a sorrowful feeling.

To create the feeling we want, no matter how much sentiment we have in our hearts, to convey it via music, it needs to be translated into the language which the piano can understand, which means, how we press and lift the keys and pedals. Similarly, when we compose, it needs to be transferred into chords, and notes we write.

< Difference between an audience and a musician >

There is a common belief that a musician can make music with sentiment or feeling. While it’s partially true, the most essential thing is knowing ‘’How’’ to create the sound that conveys the feeling we want, rather than merely knowing ‘’What’' feeling we want to convey.

The understanding of the mechanism behind music is essential, as cooking, and that is the difference between an audience and a musician. As an audience, one can simply feel the music. Like a chief who knows how to create a specific flavor to convey, a musician knows how to create the sound which can convey the feeling we want. While knowing which feeling we want is great, it’s merely the first step. Your emotions are not too different from Chopin, Beethoven, Adele or Taylor Swift, otherwise, they can’t resonate with you. But they know how to create the sound that conveys the feeling they want to their audience.

< Course Content >

I consider my course to be a form of "Music Consultation" because it contains a wide range of subjects that are essential to a professional musician. While we focus on piano playing, there are also music theory, music history, instrument construction, ergonomics for performers, analysis of composer styles, composition, arrangement, recording, MIDI, computer music, the physics of sound, and more.
In avoid of confusion, let’s still call my course as "Piano Course”.

< Duration >

For each course, I will reserve at least 70 minutes in my schedule for you, including 60 minutes of class time and an additional 10 minutes for discussion and any questions you may have. This will ensure that your courses are not rushed by the next student. This ensures that there is enough time for you to solve your piano and music problems.

< Recording >

I highly encourage my students to record their progress. This can provide an objective standard for comparison and help you analyze your playing precisely. In my nine years of experience teaching music, I've found many students, including those advanced, already play certain sections very well, while other sections may not be not well enough. But they still try to improving those fine sections, while not aware of those weak sections.
Without an objective reference, it’s hard to distribute our effort precisely. This can lead to not only unstable performance, but also practicing without a precise goal can easily reduce enthusiasm. Recording your results and comparing them with those recordings you like on YouTube or Spotify can be an effective way to analyze your playing and set precise goals.

If you have a digital piano, I can help you produce a video of your performance for each session. This can be a tangible record of your efforts and you can share it with your friends and family via YouTube or other platforms.

Would you like to learn how to make relaxed lo-fi beats, how to incorporate your own guitar or melody ideas into Ableton, or are you looking for someone to take a look at your projects in an approachable way? I would be happy to help you with this!

Under the artist name Vidalima, I have been making lofi and chill music in Ableton myself for a few years. I release my tracks on Spotify (with over 2 million streams in the past year) and through various lofi labels. I know how difficult it can be when you are just starting out, get stuck in the software, or don't quite know how to make a beat sound 'warm' and atmospheric.

We take a practical and relaxed approach. No complicated theory, just tinkering with your songs together.

What we can get started with:

Tinkering together in Ableton: Handy tips and clever tricks to develop your ideas faster and get that chill vibe in your projects.

From idea to complete track: How to turn a loose guitar riff, sample, or catchy beat into a full-fledged lo-fi song that flows nicely.

Making it sound warm & spacious: Listening to your track together and using simple basic steps (such as volume, EQ, and balance) to ensure your beat sounds clear and warm.

Sharing experiences with lofi releases: I enjoy sharing my own experiences as Vidalima regarding finishing tracks, uploading to Spotify, and contacting lofi playlist curators, other artists, and labels.

Whether you have just installed Ableton or already have a few sketches lying around that you are stuck on: we will look at what you need together, at your own pace!

Complete beginners are very welcome. You do not need previous production experience or music theory. Whether you are opening Ableton for the first time, struggling to finish tracks, or already producing and want to improve your sound, I tailor each lesson to your level, musical taste, and goals.

We can work on Ableton Live, MIDI, sampling and workflow; turning loops into finished tracks; arrangement and song structure; sound design, synthesizers and effects; mixing and mastering; developing your own sound; detailed feedback on your productions; and practical advice about releases, labels, DJing and the music industry.

The lessons are practical and centred on your own music. We can work directly on your projects or build a track together from scratch. I am Lars, an international DJ and music producer with more than 25 years of experience. I have released music on labels including Golden Recordings, Mobilee, Nervous, Katermukke, Stil Vor Talent and Kittball, worked with Boris Dlugosch and Phil Fuldner, and produced remixes for Purple Disco Machine and Claptone. I have performed at venues and festivals including Watergate Berlin, Pacha Ibiza, Printworks London, Tomorrowland and Fusion Festival. Lessons are available in English or German via Zoom with screen sharing and high-quality audio.

For me, lessons are not about rushing through theory or trying to sound “correct” as quickly as possible. They’re about finding what excites you, understanding the music you already love, and building the skills to play, create, and express yourself with confidence.

Lessons can focus on one area or combine things naturally — for example, learning guitar while writing your own songs, or using Ableton to develop an idea into a full arrangement. My goal is to keep music curious, practical, and enjoyable, and to help each student find their own way into it.

If you are interested in composition, music production, songwriting and performance but feel like you need some technical or creative motivation, this is the lesson for you. If you feel discouraged or overwhelmed by the technical aspects of a creative process, this is the lesson for you.

In these lessons, we will work on making the most of what we have through creative-problem solving and inspiration-hunting. You bring your ideas and we develop them together, have challenging conversations and explore alternative approaches to composition, production and songwriting to get you closer to your vision. We will also explore the many possibilities of working with a live band, ensemble or orchestra and how to encourage a healthy but focused work process.

Some more things covered in the process:

- Logic Pro X (mixing, producing, sampling, midi, audio recording)

- Composition (score writing / editing, notation software, orchestration / arrangement, music theory, composing for film / video)

- Songwriting (arranging, alternative score-writing, band communication, demo-making)

- Experimental production (eg. no-input mixing, prepared instruments, effect-pedals)

Do not let your ambition be hindered by limitations, but allow it to be inspired by them!

Learn Ableton Live and music production through practical, project-based one-on-one lessons built around the music you actually want to make.

We can work directly on your own tracks, recordings, arrangements or specific problems you want to solve. Depending on your level and goals, lessons can cover Ableton Live workflow, MIDI and audio editing, recording, synthesis, sampling, sound design, arrangement, mixing, effects, automation and developing a track from an initial idea to a finished piece of music.

As a professional composer with a Master's degree in Composition and seven years of teaching experience, I can also help with composition, harmony, melody, rhythm, orchestration and music theory whenever these are useful to your production.

I teach complete beginners as well as experienced producers who want to improve their workflow, develop their musical ideas, solve technical problems or receive detailed professional feedback on their work.

There is no rigid curriculum. We identify what you want to achieve and build the lessons around your projects and goals.

This workshop is designed for people who are intrigued by Electronic Music at beginner’s level.

The contents and approach of this Workshop are, overall, not too technical yet, and rather more directed to enlighten curious learners about the potential career opportunities in the music scene. If you are considering following your dream of becoming an electronic music artist, but are not sure how to start, this Workshop is for you!

Divided in 3 sessions, it proposes a raw and honest dive into the key factors
and tools to consider when contemplating an artistic career in the electronic music scene.

It starts by making a recap on Electronic music’s history, the main agents in the scene, and the importance of the various roles within this ecosystem.

Chapter 1 (first session) also oversees the main differences between a DJ, a Music Producer and a Live act performer, their distinct practices,
examples of the gear they use, and the unique daily dynamics they face.

In the second chapter (session 2), it zooms in on what is needed to get started in Music Production
(beginner level). Besides some tools and relevant concepts on this matter, session 2 will explore a DAW (music production software), and go through the basics of how to use it to start
the first song.

If the session is provided IRL, some electronic music machines will be available onsite to touch, to play and to
record using Ableton Live Suite 11.
The public will be invited to touch the mixer and get a feeling of what each button does; will have the chance to interact with the machines, eventually record their own composition, and
understand how to start a basic structure of a song on Ableton.

In case session 2 is provided URL, students may use their own gear at home in case they have it; if not, they can simply follow the flow as we do some exercises sharing the screen live.

We will not dive too deep into mixing techniques here yet, nor will we finish the workshop with everything figured out - which would be confusing for beginner level. We will rather explain, in a nutshel what it means to be an artist in this scene, how to start making music, and which tools exist.

The Workshop finishes on session 3 with a few exercises and practical tools, but also an uplifting reflection, meant to empower the visitor pursue their own path:
“Which one of these activities resonates more with my unique personality?"
"Now that I have a clue on the work that each one of them imply, which one is the best for me to step forward, and eventually kickstart my own career?"
"How can I positively contribute to this
ecosystem, and creatively feed into it?”
"What should I buy in order to start my own, personal music path?"

If you’re fond of electronic music, and willing to contribute to it - but not sure where to start from -, this Introduction to Electronic Music Workshop is for you.
Everyone is welcome.

Women (cis and non-cis), FLINTA and LGBTQA+ individuals are particularly encouraged to join.

Expect an informal, safe environment where playfulness and vulnerability are cherished, where community exchange and collective learning make space for
fun and growth.

The classes are tailored to each individual: we can start from scratch, delve deeper into a specific tool, or work directly on a project you're already developing. The idea is for you to be able to use these tools practically to develop your own musical and sound projects.

We can work on, among other things:

- Max MSP and Max for Live (from scratch, audio synthesis and processing, Max for Live, patch design and programming, Works and Sets Live Electronics, patch design and programming, communication between Max and other programs, etc.)

- Audio and production (Audio editing and processing, Pro Tools, Reaper, Logic Pro)

- Spatialization (Ambisonics, Specialization, multichannel diffusion, multichannel audio, spatialization system design in Max MSP, etc.)

- Musical language and theory (Musical language, harmony and analysis, rhythm and structure, and musical theory applied to electronic music)

The classes are primarily online and can be in Spanish or English.

No prior knowledge of programming or music theory is necessary. If you already have experience, we can start directly from your own projects and delve deeper into what you want to develop.
