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.

About Me
I have expanded my knowledge and skills teaching private lessons based in drums and music production, performing live as well as recording in studio on drums, composing music for ads and short films, audio mix engineering – these skills helped me to engage with variety of students, develop a good sense about instruments, audio equipment and the most efficient ways to approach teaching.

Pablo
Pablo is an experienced, award-winner music teacher, performer and composer based in London. He has earned a diploma in Contemporary Music from Newpark Music Centre, furthered his studies at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree with honours of the first class in composition, and is currently completing a Masters Degree at the Royal Academy of Music.

Whether you are studying for a music test, taking the grade exams for piano, or music theory, writing and recording your own music, or just want to play for fun, he can help you achieve your goals through his holistic approach to music, covering all that is relevant for you to succeed.

Pablo has been tutoring piano, music theory and composition both in schools and privately since 2016 in Ireland and Scotland, having experience teaching children and adults as they prepare for the ABRSM, Trinity, School of Rock and RIAM theory and piano performance exams across all grades, although he does not confine his teaching solely to the content of the exams and his students often find that preparing for them is a natural consequence of their studies. He has extensive experience as a music tutor, composer, accompanist and director having worked at Gordonstoun School as a musician in residence, and at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland as a musicianship tutor.

The lessons encompass a range of diverse methodologies and learning outcomes, always tailored to the specific pupil's needs. You will work together to build an appropriate path to your musical development, always considering performance as an important part of it. As an example, lessons could focus on performing Classical, Pop, Film, or Jazz music, or have a blended approach to reportoire covering a range of styles. They could also be more directed towards musicianship and theory, while he can offer guidance on composition and songwriting. For the younger pupils, he uses methods that will effectively elicit their best results by making the lessons enjoyable and fun, while nurturing their independent study habits.

Pablo has a high level of proficiency on music notation and production softwares such as Finale, Sibelius, Dorico, Cubase, and protools and he often uses them as part of his teaching, as well as offering specific advice on learning to navigate them.
