Music production lessons in a Los Angeles studio

A practical alternative to production school

Private lessons help you solve the exact problems in your songs without committing to a huge certificate program or generic curriculum.

What we work on

DAW workflow, recording, MIDI, arrangement, sound choice, editing, rough mixing, export settings, and how to move an idea toward release.

Who this is for

Songwriters, artists, producers, and beginners who have musical ideas but need the tech and decision-making process to make them real.

  • Start with music you can hear and use
  • Build technique around the goal
  • Leave each lesson with a clear next step
  • Use the intro lesson to choose the right path

Choose the path that matches your goal.

Common questions

Do you only teach Ableton?

No. Ableton is my main DAW, but I can help with Logic, FL Studio, GarageBand, and general DAW workflow.

Do I need expensive gear?

No. We can start with the gear you have and build a setup only when it is actually useful.

Can lessons happen in the studio?

Yes, local Los Angeles production lessons can happen in the studio when appropriate.
