1-2-1 Music Production Courses__With D&B/Techno Artist COMMIX__(Metalheadz, Hospital Records, Dispatch, 31 Records)

From 92 C$ /h

Hi!

Thanks for showing an interest in my tuition!

I've spent my entire adult life passionately obsessed with music and sound and now i take great pleasure in sharing my skills and techniques with anyone willing to learn...

Nowadays its too easy to get a sample pack from here and a preset from there and effectively paint by numbers but what i teach is creative expression and how to make music your craft.
The end result doesn't come as quickly or easily, but when it does its unmistakably yours.

So!
I run two courses. One for complete beginners, or those looking to formalise their skill set from the bottom up and one for more experienced producers who are looking to build on their technical knowledge and/or improve in certain areas of production.

Below is some detailed information on both courses -

////
Beginner (10 x 2 hour lessons)

My beginner course has been carefully nurtured over the last 3 years to teach you the fundamental skills you’ll need to write unique, original and exciting electronic music. I don’t just teach you how to write D&B, or Techno. Instead i aim to teach the underlining language of music production and creativity. This will give you the freedom to evolve and grow as a producer in any direction you choose later on.
Drawing from my own musical education, I start by teaching you one of the simplest forms of electronic music production. A style pioneered by the early hip hop producers and one that yields instantly impressive results. From there i will introduce you to all of the key techniques you will need to be a highly adaptable producer.
Once completed, you will know how to make the music that is in your head and most importantly how to have loads of fun being creative with music and sound.

Some of the key subjects we will cover are:

* Ableton software training.
* Drum programming, working with breakbeats and percussion.
* How to dig for, and use samples from old records, film & tv
* The language of synthesis and how to design sounds from scratch
* Recording live sound and field recording FX (done using smartphon
* How to arrange, mix and master tracks
* Workflow, concept design and creative approaches.
* (and most importantly) How to bring unique flare and originality to your music.

////
Advanced (5 x 2 hour lessons)

This course is aimed at experienced producers who are looking to improve in certain areas and broaden their skillset. There is no set curriculum for this type of course. They are designed based on the needs of the individual. We work together to establish key areas to focus on.
I start by analysing your existing music to establish areas that can be improved on and i ask you to fill in a set of questions which outline your goals and things you would like to achieve. From there i devise a set of lesson that are as effective as possible and optimise our time together.

///
The lessons are always 1-2-1 with myself and are conducted over Zoom. This works really well. We can share our screens and the computer audio. I also record each lesson so you can go back and rewatch tricks and techniques in your own time which is something that has proved to be super helpful to my students.

///
All my students go away with roughly 10gb of samples from my own collection. I provide as and when they are relevant to a lesson or module. They are not commercially available sample packs. They are sounds i have designed or collected and many of them i have been using for 20 years!

///
Last (but far from least!)
Which is a place for my previous and existing students to give and receive track feedback, from myself and other members. And also where students can help each other with anything music related. I occasionally set fun production challenges and drop the odd useful set of sounds in there too. The group has nearly 200 members now and many of them collaborate together, meet for mixing sessions in London. And recently there has been talk of organising a record label and club night which is amazing!

There is fun to be had and music to be made! If you are interested to know more and would like to meet me and discuss things further, please book yourself in for a 1 hour session where we can go over everything in detail and in a way that is relevant to you. Once we have a clear idea of the best course of action we can look at booking a course for you.

///
Things you'll need for either course -
Ableton Suite (3 month free trial available from their website or google 'ableton trial')
A computer that is compatible with Ableton's system requirements (also found on their website)
Some decent headphones (i use Audio Technica ath-m50x and highly recommend them)
A decent internet connection.
A quiet environment where you can concentrate

Thanks and speak soon!
George

Unfortunately i do not offer one off lessons. I have done this in the past but feel they are not rewarding for either the student or myself and prefer to work with someone to develop their skills over time.

About Me

As a producer, I have been releasing music commercially for around 18 years, mainly on the major Drum and Bass record labels such as Metalheadz and Hospital Records. I have also written 3 well-received albums and been involved in many collaborative projects.

Over the years I have worked in countless different studios and practiced a wide variety of different production techniques which has put me in a great position to teach.

As a teacher, I have a wealth of experience behind me. My first position after completing my teaching diploma was at London's leading music production collage Point Blank where I was their 'Introduction To Ableton Live' course tutor. I am also a regular tutor at various different studios in London.

I am as passionate about teaching and sharing my expertise as I am about producing music. I find it deeply rewarding to watch young producers develop their identity and their sound. Music is such a personal thing, so it's always so interesting and often really surprised to listen to how each student adapts the knowledge you have taught them.

My students can expect to walk away with much more than just textbook music production skills. I take great pride in nurturing young producers and helping them find their feet in the music industry. I will provide help and advice to them with everything from what equipment to invest into what record labels they should approach and will continue to mentor them long after their course is finished...

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Hello!

Being a singer and a singing teacher, many many times I have found myself in the situation of having to work on ear training, or solfège, or music theory... or all the above listed!
Approaching music and having no clue of these elements can totally be intimidating and off-putting, but with the right guidance and the correct practice, I’m sure you will learn in no time! I want to prove to you that building this basic knowledge can be easy, accessible, and not heavy at all.
My program is not fixed: I’ll build it on your specific needs, whether they are preparing an exam, curiosity, or getting better at pitch matching... we will discuss it together. I have many books and materials, and I honestly prefer to draw blackboards by myself a lot of times. Unless you want to, I won’t ask you to buy any material, so the only cost that you will have to sustain is for the time of the class.

If you've been eager to get better in drums and therefore studying all its different styles and genres, I definitely can help you with that!
Particularly, I've studied in deep Tony Williams' and Elvin Jones' playing and the main drummers of the jazz era from the 50s to the 70s , so if you really want to improve that kind of vision and sound I can give you some great hints such as transcriptions, analysis, sound strategies and many video materials.
Also, I am specialized in Funk/Hip-Hop music and that kind of groovy world. So, I've been mastering a specific approach to this genre as well.

About me:
I've been playing drums since I was 6. I got my Master Degree in 2022 at Salerno Music Conservatory (Italy) in Jazz Drums and Percussion.
I've been doing the role of Assistant Professor at KCB with Stéphane Galland since 2023.

Since I moved to Belgium I had to chance to collaborate and sharing the stage at the moment with Manou Gallo, Zap MAMA, Stephane Mercier, David Linx and various others.

In piano lessons, we use the book method of Notus or Hal Leonard.
Everything is explained step by step and you gradually learn to read music and know the piano.

At the start of our lessons we'll take a look at what is important to you. What goals do you want to set, and what feels achievable and comfortable?
We set long-term goals of, for example, a year. Completely tailored to where you are at, right now.

During the lessons I am patient, motivating, encouraging, and complimenting. I'll point out what could be better, and also pay attention to how you can play more easily. And much more. Tailored to your needs and wishes.

For artists, songwriters, and creatives ready to shape their vision.

Are you working on your own songs and feeling stuck?
Do you have a head full of ideas but struggle to bring them together into one clear artistic story?
Or maybe you’ve already created something you're proud of, but you want to take it further — deeper, bolder, more you.

I'm here to help you connect the dots.

As a singer, songwriter, producer and creative director working on my own debut album, I know how overwhelming the creative process can feel. There’s so much more to being an artist than just making music. Your sound, your visuals, your story, your live performance — it’s all connected. That’s where I come in.

In our sessions, we can explore whatever part of your creative world needs support:

🎵 Songwriting – melody, lyrics, structure, harmony
🎧 Production Direction – from early sketches to refined ideas
🌙 Artistic Identity – visual storytelling, aesthetics, branding
🎤 Performance & Presence – connecting with your audience
💡 Creative Strategy – organizing ideas and unlocking new ones
🌀 Intuitive Guidance – sometimes you just need a sounding board

You don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you're a beginner or a more advanced artist, we’ll work with what’s already inside you — your instincts, your taste, your questions. Sessions are fully personalized and can be a one-time deep dive or part of a longer creative journey together.

Sound Healing, Sound Bath, Chakra Healing & Reiki

Sound Healing is a holistic wellbeing practice that uses intentional sound, vibration and mindful listening to create a deeply relaxing and meditative experience.

My sessions use instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, gongs and other therapeutic sound instruments, combined with guided relaxation and mindfulness-based practices. The intention is to help you slow down, release everyday tension, become more aware of your body and mind, and create a deeper sense of relaxation and inner balance.

What I Offer

Sound Bath

A deeply immersive relaxation experience using Tibetan singing bowls, gongs and other sound instruments. You simply relax, listen and allow the sounds and vibrations to become the focus of your awareness.

A Sound Bath may be particularly suitable if you are looking for:

• Deep relaxation
• Stress reduction
• Mental quietness
• Meditation support
• Emotional relaxation
• A peaceful break from a busy lifestyle

Chakra Healing

A holistic practice incorporating sound, meditation, intention and awareness of the traditional chakra system.

Chakra Balancing

A guided sound-based practice focused on relaxation, awareness and the traditional concept of balancing the body's energy centres.

Full-Body Sound Healing

A personalized session using multiple sound instruments and guided relaxation to create an immersive full-body relaxation experience.

The session may help you disconnect from everyday mental activity, become more aware of bodily sensations and enter a deeply restful state.

Reiki with Sound Healing

A complementary session combining Reiki practice with Sound Healing for people interested in a holistic relaxation and wellbeing experience.

The session focuses on relaxation, mindfulness, energetic awareness and creating a calm environment for self-reflection.

Sessions can be conducted online or in person, depending on the requirement.

A Personalized Approach

I don't use exactly the same session for everyone.

Before a session, I take into consideration your intention, experience, comfort level and any relevant sensitivities. The instruments, intensity and structure of the session can then be adapted accordingly.

My objective is to create a safe, peaceful and deeply immersive sound experience where you can relax, turn your attention inward and reconnect with yourself.

These courses are primarily aimed at beginners or false beginners wishing to learn the violin on a solid foundation, in a progressive and motivating way.

Trained in classical and chamber music by a conservatory professor, I have developed an approach to the violin that is both rigorous and accessible, always keeping the pleasure of playing as the objective.

We work on the essential fundamentals: posture, bow hold, intonation, tone, and basic musicality. Emphasis is placed on a clear progression adapted to each student.

Each lesson is personalized according to your pace and objectives, whether it's to discover the instrument, consolidate the basics or evolve towards a more expressive style of playing.

Courses are available in French or English.

Would you like to play your favorite artists' songs on the guitar? 🎸🎶

In these classes, you'll learn in a practical, dynamic way, perfectly tailored to your musical tastes. You choose the songs, artists, or styles you love, and we'll work together so you can learn to play and accompany them on the guitar.

You'll learn chords, chord changes, rhythms, strumming patterns, and different accompaniment techniques, always applied to real songs. The goal isn't simply to memorize songs, but to gradually understand how they work so you can learn new songs on your own.

The classes are adapted to all levels. If you're starting from scratch, we'll go step by step so you can begin playing your first songs from the beginning. If you already have some guitar experience, we'll work on improving your rhythm, technique, and accompaniment skills.

We can work on pop, rock, rumba, flamenco, singer-songwriter songs, and many other styles. From artists like Estopa, Melendi, Pablo Alborán, Manuel Carrasco, or Fito y Fitipaldis, to any group or singer that's part of your favorite music.

If you also like to sing, we can also work on how to accompany you on the guitar.

🎵 You choose the music.
🎸 I'll help you learn to play it.
📈 And little by little you will acquire the tools to learn many more songs on your own.

Tell me what song or artist you'd like to play and we'll get started!

Sax to Songs: The Beginner’s Jumpstart

Get over the technique hurdle, bridge your favorite pop and rap hooks to the horn, and start playing real music from day one!

Class Overview

Sax to Songs is designed for absolute beginners and rusty starters who want to skip the tedious technical drills and focus on what actually matters: playing songs you love.

In this supportive and fun class, we demystify the basics just enough to get you making great sounds, and then immediately apply them to real-world tunes. Whether your favorite music is chart-topping pop, heavy-hitting rap beats, smooth R&B, or classic soul, you’ll learn the shortcuts to sounding great without getting bogged down in theory.

The Secret Melody: From Beats to Ballads

Love rap and modern pop? Your favorite tracks are already built on incredible hooks and vocal lines. In this class, we show you that a saxophone doesn't play "old-fashioned" music—it functions just like a vocal lead or a catchy synth drop in your favorite modern songs.

The way I see it: If you can hum it, you can play it.

I’ll teach you how to translate the infectious energy of pop and hip-hop phrasing, to name a few genres, into smooth, expressive melodic playing that commands the room.

What You Will Learn

The 5-Minute Setup: Quick tricks for putting your horn together, managing your reed, and getting a confident tone instantly.

Essential Finger Shortcuts: Master the core notes you actually need to play hundreds of popular songs and catchy hooks.

Rhythm & Groove: How to play with feel and make the notes swing, rock, or lock into a modern beat rather than sound like a robot.

Play-Along Mastery: Build confidence by playing right along with backing tracks, modern loops, and your favorite recordings.

Who This Is For:

Anyone who wants a low-stress, high-reward musical community.

No boring sheet music drills allowed!

Bring your saxophone, an open mind, and get ready to turn your favorite hooks and favorite songs into real music on week one!
