Music Studio Recording and Production Basics (Through English)

From 59.55 C$ /h

Hi!
My name is Finlay.
I am 26 years old from Ireland and have moved to Vienna to become a professional musician.
I have been playing music for 20 years and recording music myself for 7 years. Music is my passion, and i know now what it is that a beginning musician needs to know, and what i wish i knew when i was starting out!
I offer music production and recording lessons. This includes recording and production techniques, microphone placement and techniques, studio gear knowledge, how to use a professional production software, as well as broader music technology lessons.
I am happy to create personalised lessons based on whatever it is that you wish to know the most. We can discuss what it is that you want from this and we can go from there :)
All lessons are done at my home and I provide the tools needed to learn the basics.
I also offer guitar lessons if this is not exactly what you're looking for!

All lessons are done through English, so if you also want to work on that too then we could match perfectly!

Personalised Electric and Acoustic Guitar Lessons for Beginners and Intermediates with Music Theory! (Through English)

56.24 C$ /h

Hi! My name is Finlay.
I'm a 26 year old musician from Ireland.
I have been playing guitar for 12 years.
I offer classes for beginner and intermediate guitar players personalized to your tastes. I want to get people who are new or improving excited to play music and give them the skills to play the way they wish they could. The way I teach my class is by breaking down your favourite songs and helping you master the techniques used so you can use them yourself. The key to learning guitar is learning to play what you love.
I love playing music and helping others to enjoy it as well. I will design my classes to suit your tastes and goals.
I offer classes in English. I speak German but not enough to provide the best lessons I can.
So if you would also like to practice your English, then we could be a perfect fit!

Hello! My name is Theresa and I am a cellist from Vienna. I've been playing the cello for over 16 years and am currently studying here at the mdw.

I offer personal harmonica lessons in a variety of genres.
The content is entirely based on your interests and is very much oriented towards actual playing and improvising.
With me you can learn everything you need for the blues harp. From the first notes, replaying your favorite songs and special techniques to fluid improvisation and playing together with other musicians.
I'm also happy to convey a solid understanding of the music theory behind the harmonica, but if you don't feel like learning theory, that's no problem for me.
I welcome adults and young people over 12 years of age.

❓Do you already play the cello and feel like you’re still missing some of the basics?
❓Have you never played an instrument before and would now like to learn the cello?

🙋🏻‍♂️ My name is Gustav, and I’m happy to offer cello lessons in Vienna (in person) or online—for all ages and all skill levels!

🎻 To be able to make music on the cello, you first need a solid technical foundation—just like the framework of a house, which must be in place before construction can even begin.

💎 With a systematic and logically structured method, anyone can learn to play the cello with joy and ease!

🎓 In addition to my training as an instrumental pedagogue, I am also a trained concert cellist. I work as principal cellist with the Sinfonieorchester Liechtenstein and regularly perform on stage with my piano trio (Trio Souvenirs).

I look forward to meeting you!

Hello, my name is Pia and I'm a flautist. :) I started learning the flute at the age of 8. I loved it right away, so after music school, I continued my studies at the conservatory in Maribor (Slovenia). I then studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz. In 2024, I completed my bachelor's degree at the Gustav Mahler Private University in Klagenfurt. There, I earned a degree in concert performance and a degree in instrumental pedagogy.
During my studies, I also completed a specialization course in early music, majoring in transverse flute. Therefore, I also offer lessons for beginners on this beautiful baroque instrument.
During my studies, I had several private students with whom I explored the sounds of the flute and various genres (classical, pop, jazz, folk music, improvisation, etc.). My lessons are relaxed and communicative, full of collaborative music-making.
Classes can also take place online.

Beginners are just as welcome as those who want to deepen their knowledge or start playing the flute again after some time! :)

My lessons are available in Russian and English, I teach everything from an idea and arrangement to mastering and releasing your own track. I teach Ableton, basic music theory and how to create and release music in any genre.

Recommendation: In-person is preferred for studio practice. Online only if in-person isn’t possible.

I offer individually tailored lessons in composition, improvisation, and piano for students of all levels — from beginners to advanced musicians.

Composition
Lessons focus on developing a personal musical language through both creative work and analytical study. We analyze scores from various periods, including the 20th and 21st centuries. We explore contemporary compositional techniques, form, harmony, texture, and extended instrumental techniques (including their notation). Students are guided in building original works while strengthening their artistic identity.

Free Improvisation
This course combines practical exercises with the analysis of selected works and recordings in experimental and improvised music. The aim is to liberate musical expression while consciously shaping an individual musical language. The course is suitable not only for beginners, but also for advanced musicians seeking to expand their vocabulary and deepen their artistic practice.
Lessons can take place both individually and in small groups.
This format is also highly suitable for children, as improvisation encourages imagination, confidence, and a playful exploration of sound.

Piano
Piano lessons integrate technique, sound awareness, and interpretative work. Repertoire may include classical, contemporary, or experimental music, depending on the student’s interests and goals.

Learning the harp is a unique and rewarding experience that combines musical expression, technique, and creativity. Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some musical background, my lessons are tailored to help you progress at your own pace in a supportive and inspiring environment.

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of harp playing, including proper posture, hand technique, and sound production. We will gradually explore repertoire always adapted to your level and interests, from classical to modern. I also focus on developing musicality, rhythm, and confidence while playing.

Lessons are available in English, Italian, and Spanish, and I welcome students of all ages.
