Beatmaking: LoFi,
From 113 C$ /h
Learn how to make your own beats, from the first basics to developing your own unique sound. In these lessons, we dive into the world of LoFi, Hip-Hop, Soul, Funk & Jazz, with a focus on groove, rhythm, harmony, sampling, and sound design.
We start with the basics of beatmaking and music production. You will learn to work with Ableton Live or Logic Pro, program drums, build rhythms, find and edit samples, create bass lines, and use chords. Step by step, you will discover how to work from an initial musical idea to a complete track.
In addition to the technical foundation, we pay a lot of attention to creativity, musicality, and developing your own style. You learn not only how to make a beat, but also how to give it its own character and groove.
The lessons are suitable for both absolute beginners and advanced producers and are tailored to your level, musical taste, and personal goals. You work on your own tracks and receive practical feedback and personal guidance from an experienced producer and music teacher.

About Me
Hoi, mijn naam is Trian en ben professioneel muzikant, producer en songwriter met ruim 15 jaar ervaring als docent bij Albeda en de Rockacademie. Naast mijn werk in het onderwijs heb ik jarenlang samengewerkt met uiteenlopende artiesten en producers, zowel nationaal als internationaal.
Na jarenlang studenten en professionele muzikanten te hebben begeleid, vind ik het juist leuk om mijn kennis en ervaring te delen met mensen die helemaal aan het begin van hun muzikale ontwikkeling staan.
Mijn manier van lesgeven is persoonlijk, ontspannen en vooral praktisch. Ik geloof dat je muziek het beste leert maken door zelf te experimenteren, te ontdekken en vooral veel te doen. Daarbij staat niet alleen de techniek centraal, maar ook creativiteit, muzikaliteit en het ontwikkelen van een eigen sound.
Iedere leerling is anders. Daarom pas ik mijn lessen aan op jouw interesses, niveau en tempo. Of je nu je eerste beat wilt maken of een eigen track wilt produceren, ik help je stap voor stap op weg.
Voor mij draait muziek maken vooral om plezier, nieuwsgierigheid en creatieve vrijheid.

With over 15 years of experience as a teacher at Albeda and the Rockacademie, and my background as a professional musician, producer, and songwriter, I want to use my knowledge and experience specifically to help aspiring music makers on their way.
My lessons are intended for anyone who wants to learn to make music themselves, even without any prior knowledge. Together, we discover the basics of music production, including beatmaking, recording, arranging, sound design, and mixing, using programs such as Ableton Live and Logic Pro.
With my background in Hip-Hop, Soul, Funk, and Jazz, I combine technical knowledge with creativity and musicality.
The lessons are practical, relaxed, and tailored to your level, interests, and learning goals. My focus is not only on learning to work with music software, but primarily on developing your own sound and turning musical ideas into complete tracks.
You don't need any experience, just curiosity, creativity, and a love for making music!
