After getting started with your music application (eg Ableton Live) you can experience a fun-oriented approach.

I will teach you how to unleash your creative genius using different games. The rules of these games will act as restrictions. The idea is to encourage creativity by limiting the options. Options which are far too numerous and which destabilize beginners, and not only!

Over the weeks, and ideally through daily work on your part, you will develop your own unique style - music that only you can make, no one else.

My approach is based on quality through quantity. If you want to make good music, you have to be willing to make bad music. And a lot ! I will teach you how to strengthen your mindset to overcome all the psychological blockages that creators face.

Thanks to this methodology, you will progress very quickly while having fun.

I can guarantee you will finish your first track in 1 month - as long as you can spend at least 15 minutes a day, take one class a week, and accept the idea that you will never be 100% satisfied with it. your work (this is normal). It doesn't matter what you think about it at the moment - your opinion changes, and what is certain is that you will have learned a lot in no time.

I also help you get the right material depending on how you want to make music and your budget. However, you can make music simply with Ableton Live and headphones or speakers.
Extra information
It is possible to take 45-minute, 90 or 120-minute lessons.

The price indicated for home lessons is calculated for a maximum of one hour round trip. For approximately two hours of round trip travel, the total price for one hour of class is adjusted.

About Me
I mainly publish music.

I was born near Gallipoli in southern Italy in 1987, and grew up in the canton of Geneva in Switzerland, where I am still based.

Active for ten years. DJ practicing since 2005 and performing since 2008, I have always shared my favorites through my mixes.

When I started in the trance scene, I was very influenced by Swiss DJs / producers Koris, Madwave, Dave Joy and above all, the prolific Marco Guardia who was behind the SHOKK and Flutlicht projects, as well as some Tatana productions , Energy and many others. Today Marco Guardia makes music for video games under the name of Monomirror. Hyper-creative who learns very quickly, he recently created almost by himself from A to Z the game Octahedron.

In 2019 my first series of ten years of existence with more than fifty episodes.

I launch my own label in 2020 and develop my online coaching business for people who want to live music.

I do not have a degree in languages but I have a good command of English in particular written (I can give courses up to the Cycle Orientation level).

Concerning the MAO, I am currently in BTS Audiovisual option trades of the Sound and thus has solid knowledge in MAO, mixing and mastering, particularly on ProTools (in French or in English (English advised)) and Ableton Live; as well as good notions of acoustics. I also have extensive general knowledge about consumer and professional sound equipment.

About me, I am patient and I like to teach people. I also propose an individualized pedagogy according to the level and needs of my students. As far as possible (except for busy schedule) I also give personalized assignments after each lesson (including MAO / Sound Design) in order to better follow the progress of my students.

Some now perform as DJs and perform their own compositions during their shows.

During each session I discuss one of the following topics:

Composition of a song from A to Z
Decomposition and analysis of an existing song

MAO is a way of approaching music in a different way than through traditional musical instruments like the violin, guitar or piano. From the knowledge of music theory we create musical pieces on various software and machines.

In this course we will learn the principles of music such as harmony, rhythm and melody while developing basic concepts of music production such as recording, mixing and audio processing.

This course is a gateway for those considering a career in composition or music production.
