Private lessons or groups of 2 and 3 Ableton Live / MAO / Synthesis or Mixdown-Mastering

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello, my name is Mathieu and I am a full-time computer music teacher in Montreal.
You can come and benefit from my studio already installed or I can come and join you at your home.
I have been teaching MAO full-time for several years via recognized schools in Montreal (SAT, Dj School) or via the school board.
I have been an electronic music producer since 1999 and graduated from Musitechnique since 2005.
I founded my own program that I can teach in person or remotely, but nothing like meeting in person to get results

Beginner and Intermediate...
I can help you improve your MAO knowledge and your musical productions, or guide you to take the first steps in this infinite world of knowledge.
Whether it's arrangement, mix down, synthesis, sampling or creative flow or simply the interface of ableton or VSTs that you want to tackle, I can help you.

I currently teach children between 9 and 17, adults of all ages as well as retirees in RPA.

To the pleasure.

Music Production / Songwriting / Electronic Music Individual Tutoring
Almost all music today is made using computers—whether it's composed, recorded, or edited with music software. It has never been easier to create music yourself, requiring very little equipment or prior experience. I offer classes for all skill levels, from beginners who want to learn the basics and get to grips with music-making software, to experienced artists and producers looking to refine their skill set and make their music sound unique and professional. I have worked with artists across a wide range of genres, backgrounds, and ages. Through this experience, I’ve found that the common goal and joy in music is honest self-expression, something I pride myself on encouraging and facilitating, no matter your level of experience or confidence. The structure and timeline of the classes are flexible and can be tailored to your needs. For beginners, I typically recommend starting with an hour-long session once a week for ten weeks. The goal would be to finish at least two songs or pieces of music by the end of the course. Classes can be conducted in person or online. I am a classically trained musician. I was a chorister at Cambridge's King's College Choir as a child and received a music scholarship to one of the UK’s top secondary schools, where I studied trumpet, piano, viola, singing, and composition. It was there that I discovered my passion for music production on computers. I also achieved top grades in Music Technology and offer tutoring for Music Technology exams at both GCSE and A-Level. I then went on to study at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, specializing in Electronic and Produced Music, where I graduated with a first-class degree. My studies included modules in popular music production, songwriting, film music composition, acousmatic music, and orchestration, among others. Since then, I have been working with the charity Key Changes, where I visit psychiatric hospitals and forensic wards to collaborate with patients on music production and songwriting. A large part of this work involves creating instrumentals for rappers, which allowed me to learn how to produce drill and trap music. I’ve also run music production workshops for children aged 8-16 and provided individual tutoring to many young learners. I have an enhanced DBS check and extensive experience working with children aged 4 and up, including students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I look forward to hearing from you!
