Ableton live is a must have software for computer music production. Both powerful and transversal, it allows both musical creation, mixing, mastering, live performances, sound design ... and much more.

I invite you on a journey where every click and every note will lead you to a deeper understanding of music production. I will be your guide in the abyss of MAO, you will explore the depths of your sonic imagination and learn to vibrate the strings of your musical soul. It's a journey that will leave no one indifferent, an experience that will allow you to reconnect with your musical creativity and give free rein to your talent.

This course will take place on ableton live 11. No hardware is required but it is recommended to have a version of ableton.

Trained at the Music Academy International, I propose private lessons of Guitar, Singing, and/or Audio Production centered on amplified music (funk, soul, jazz, rock, blues, etc.) and adapted to the requests of each student.

My classes are open to all, children and adults, beginners or advanced. I attach great importance to the understanding of the technical tools implemented in the interpretation of the pieces, a typical lesson is therefore divided between technical work with clear explanations and actual practice on songs to play or sing.

If the student is interested, I also teach the more theoretical aspects of music, such as harmony (scales, chords, modes, improvisation), music theory, rhythm, ear training, and deciphering.

I also offer coaching sessions. These are non-regular sessions to target work on specific aspects of the requested repertoire.
Each lesson is accompanied by work material (paper or audio) to practice at home.

For guitar lessons, an instrument can be made available, for singing lessons, I accompany the student on the piano or the guitar (it is also possible to use backing tracks when the key and tempo are right ) and for audio production, I can provide the software required to start on any operating system (Win, Mac, and Linux) (I don't work with pirated software).

Classes are given in my studio in Etterbeek, 5-minute walk from La Chasse.

I also teach group lessons for singing, do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
Flexible schedule (daytime or evening).

I offer introductory courses in music production using Ableton. VST, MIDI, LFO, Compressor, Automation... Are all these terms unclear to you and you don't know where to start with Ableton?
We will go step by step, without skipping any steps, to see all the important points to start with a solid foundation so that you can manage on your own as quickly as possible for your own compositions.
I work with 50% theory and 50% practice; we work on the basis of your own projects for maximum practical application.

Do you want to create your own tracks or learn to mix like a DJ?

I will guide you step by step, whether you are a beginner or already advanced;

I am an artist, producer and DJ, specializing solely in electronic music and groove creation.

I have been producing electronic music professionally since 2006 and have several releases on independent labels to my credit.

My NLH project, which started in 2023, was selected in 2025 as a finalist in a European music competition in the DJ Producer category (Tour Music Fest).

I have also collaborated with several internationally renowned artists, notably Samuel L. Session, who remixed one of my tracks in 2024.

With 15 years of experience in music production, I offer to help you master the many features of Ableton Live software (regardless of version) in order to either develop your skills or start your first project and even help you find your sonic identity.

Similarly for DJing, I can teach you how to train your ears so that they can beatmatch tracks without using modern tools (SYNC, LOOP etc.).

Being patient, extroverted and a good listener, I will be there to guide you step by step in your musical creations or to explain professional methods for quickly setting up your sounds.

You do not need to own Ableton Live software, or even Traktor Pro, nor even know music theory, but you must have at least a PC or a MAC.

See you very soon for more wonderful musical adventures.

Hi, I'm Ally. I don't just teach people how to play songs; I develop independent musicians who truly understand their instrument. With over 20 years of professional experience and a decade as a senior teacher, I’ve helped hundreds of beginners move past the "stuck" phase.

In this class, we move at your pace in a relaxed, supportive environment. You’ll learn technical development and fretboard visualization through a structured, outcome-driven approach. Every lesson comes with a clear, custom-engineered practice plan so you know exactly what to do between sessions. My goal is to give you the tools you need so that eventually, you won't need a teacher at all.
