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

From 60 C$ /h

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.

Extra information

Bringing your own computer is an asset, but I provide computers and control if you ever have a tower at home.

Offers guitar lessons, general music theory, jazz theory and / or audio production (use of various audio recording, mixing and mastering software).
I can move if there is a metro near the destination.
For audio production courses, you must have your own hardware (if you do not have one I can make free software recommendations).

Who is this workshop for?
For anyone curious about sound, all music, music in general,
who wants to manufacture, build, examine ... (from 12 or 13 years old).

Do you need to know music theory?
No. But familiarity with music of various styles can be of great help.

DJ? "Electro" music?
No ! We will not learn here to be a DJ or to compose “dance-music”,
“electro” music in the commonly understood sense, not even songs.

Do you need to know the computer?
It is better if it is, but learning can be done at the same time as musical research.

Is this course a software learning course?
No. I give the basics (only on Logic Pro X or Garageband) to be able to compose but I do not teach the deep use of software.

Is it necessary to have a computer?
Yes !

A "workshop" rather than a class?
The course takes the form of a practical workshop, listening sessions, criticism of works.

By computer?
Everything happens on a computer once sound elements of all kinds have been recorded. Editing, transformation, mixing on software designed for this.
No software required. The proposed route can be adapted to any multitrack sequencing software. The computer is only a tool, it is the composer who makes the music.

Practically what do we do?
The composer works “from the sounds” that he has most often recorded himself.
He chooses them, assembles them, deforms them, mixes them according to his project, at will.
of his intuition, his ideas and desires, gradually builds a music.
For those who wish and need it, exercises are offered which allow to approach at the same time techniques of realization
and precise musical proposals.

Composition / Invention
It is not a question of declaring themselves all composers, but of affirming that we can all ask ourselves composers' questions, with both seriousness and imagination.
To confront the game of a free invention.

What musical orientation? What style ?
This is a “musical research” process:
seek to invent a music beyond traditional values - note pitches, regular pulsations, instrumental timbres - without forbidding all that.
A “music of sounds”, in the broadest possible sense, a “music of
all sounds “as opposed to what one could obviously call too simplified“ a music of notes ”.
This choice, which apparently seems to shake up musical uses, is nevertheless part of a tradition of more than a century and rich in a repertoire that is too little known and which has had various names:

- Electroacoustic music
- Concrete music
- Acousmatic music
- Contemporary music

Finally, we each have a precious tool to never forget: our ear, and a fascinating and rewarding job to lead, questioning about oneself.

I am a composer of music, image and sound designer, mainly for video games.
I teach music production lessons on Logic Pro X and Cubase.

The courses can be oriented according to the needs:

- how to produce a song?
. mix and mastering
. recording, editing

. basic principles of synthesis

- how to build a song?
. What instruments?
. How to choose your chords / melody / rhythm?

My diplomas :
A graduate of the DESS film music from UQAM, I also validated a license in music at the University of Burgundy (France) and studied bass guitar at the Dijon conservatory (Fr).
I also have a DEC in electronics, audiovisual option.

Hello! I use different learning methods depending on the profile of each student. In all cases, I transmit a real working method that will be useful for your entire life as a musician! I usually divide the course into 2 parts, with a more technical part (warming up the hand and working on left hand agility, small exercises on the problems you might encounter), and a more musical part with the pieces. If you don't know how to read scores, I can also teach music theory or use an auditory learning method! I also often suggest playing in a duet, because music is above all a sharing :)

My teaching experience is varied: I have taught very young beginners (4 years old) and less young, and I also take care of the improvement of more advanced students! I also offer support in addition to courses at conservatories for example. I have been offering courses for 4 years now and I have always had excellent feedback from long-time students! :)

If you are interested in composing, don't hesitate! I work for film music and I was assistant to a composer in Hollywood. I also won many international awards for my projects.

Do you or your child want to broaden your musical horizons?
Learn how to integrate technology into your music learning?
Want to know how to turn a song idea into an audio file professionally?
Maybe just introduce you to music in general?
Or deepen your knowledge of computer composition?

YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! ☺♫

What I offer:
→ Complete training in DAW software (Ableton Live and others!)
→ In-depth exploration of electronic instruments (synthesizers, MIDI controllers)
→ Instrumental recording techniques and construction of audio models
→ Hearing training and awareness of the different characteristics of sound (timbre, pitch, audio effects)
→ Experimental sound creation and sound design (eg: reproducing the roar of the T-REX)
→ Introduction to music theory and composition
→ Support and coaching for your musical project
→ What you think is relevant to your journey!

The course will be adapted to your needs and all subjects are adaptable to your level!
Simple, fun and enriching!

But why learn all this?
→ Computers today have an essential and central role in music in general. No matter what musical style you listen to, it is necessary that these artists have used DAW technologies to deliver their piece to you. Also, the accessibility of software today allows anyone with an artistic intention to be able to exploit it and offer it to the general public.

¤ Computer access is ideal for taking classes, but I am open to discussing alternative options! ¤
