the Fundamentals of Music Production, Sound Recording, Audio Editing and Creating Your Own Music

From 78 C$ /h

In these lessons, you’ll learn the fundamentals of music production, including audio recording, editing, mixing and mastering. I’ll teach you how to work with different audio effects, plugins, microphones and recording techniques to achieve a professional sound.

We can also explore the creative side of music production: how to get started with making music, develop musical ideas, write songs, create arrangements and bring your own musical projects to life.

I’ll guide you through working with industry-standard DAWs such as Logic Pro and Ableton Live, helping you understand their tools and workflows, whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience.

The lessons are tailored to your interests, goals and current level. My aim is not only to teach you the technical skills but also to help you become more independent and confident in creating your own music.

About Me

Hello! My name is Mark, and I’m a professional pianist, music educator, and aspiring jazz musician.

Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I graduated from a professional music college with a degree in Classical Piano and have performed both as a solo pianist and with orchestras. Over the past year, I received scholarship offers from Berklee College of Music (USA) and Maastricht Conservatory (The Netherlands), where I continue my musical journey.

I enjoy working with students of all ages and experience levels—from complete beginners to advanced musicians preparing for auditions or looking to expand their skills.

My lessons are always tailored to each student’s goals. Whether you want to learn classical piano, explore jazz, improve your music theory, develop improvisation skills, write your own music, or simply play your favorite songs with confidence, I’ll create a personalized learning plan that works for you.

I believe that learning music should be both inspiring and enjoyable. My goal is not only to teach technique but also to help students understand music, express themselves creatively, and enjoy the learning process.

Lessons are available in English and Russian, both online and in person (depending on location).

I look forward to helping you achieve your musical goals!

My course is aimed at amateur and professional pianists wishing to deepen their technique in terms of improvisation, understanding of harmony and accompaniment; I also offer "coaching" sessions in the context of assistance with creation (composition, interpretation etc.), I insist on the fact that it is not essential to have an in-depth knowledge of music theory!
As long as the motivation and desire are there, the rest will follow!
Looking forward to meeting you!

Hello everyone.
My name is Maria and I love playing and teaching cello.
The nice, emotional, and depth sound of the cello attracted my interest from the age
of four and I decided from this young age to start learning how to play this beautiful
instrument. As the years were passing by I was getting more and more impressed
from the glory of music and of the cello. So my love and my passion became a
profession.
I am from Greece and I lived in the Netherlands for the last five years.
I finished my Bachelor studies in cello performance at The Royal Conservatory of The
Hague and I obtained a certificate in Music Education.
Now I am continuing my master studies at Conservatorium Maastricht and I work in
parallel as a freelance cellist and cello teacher.
Teaching is my passion. In the last 5 years, I teach regularly. Beginners, elder amateur
cellist, advanced teenagers, and kids of all ages are some of my students.
I have plenty of patience, and I am able to adapt my system to the needs and
capacities of each student. As a teacher, I focuse on developing the cello technique
and the musicality of my students. Basic music theory, rhythm, and ear training are
part of her lessons too. The focus of my teaching is to make my student love the
process of learning music and cello.
Playing music is fun, is unique is joyful.
Don’t hesitate to contact me.
Lets demystify together the incredible music world!!!

Hello! I am an English saxophonist, guitarist, pianist and composer / music theorist, currently based in Maastricht, NL. I've been playing saxophone, guitar and piano for 15 years and after building a life around music and creative expression, it's my passion to share that with anyone eager to learn; at any level. I believe music can bring so much value to our lives, it can excite us and move us, give us a sense of purpose and identity and ultimately enrich us in ways we would never otherwise grow.

Are you a musician already, but you haven’t opened the door to music theory and don’t know where to start? Perhaps you are preparing for upcoming exams, or you simply want to spark your curiosity further with the mechanics of music? At any level, I’m here to teach music theory for jazz and contemporary music.
I want to show my students the connection between music on a theoretical level and their instruments. And how understanding the building blocks of music can lead to new creative avenues through which to express themselves. It can be a struggle to know where to get started both technically and theoretically; understanding your instrument and what you are playing can help to facilitate real musical growth.
As a conservatory student, having followed advanced jazz music theory. I can help at any level to further your knowledge and understanding of music. Theory is such a powerful tool for composition, songwriting and improvisation, let’s learn together in an environment that puts you and your instrument first.
I offer classes from beginner musicians to conservatory / music school entrance exams and everything in between & beyond.
If you are interested, feel free to get in touch!
Looking forward to meeting you!
Francis
