ABOUT THE LESSON

In my lessons for drum kit, DJing, and Ableton production, you can expect a personalised approach tailored to your unique goals and skill level.

For drum kit lessons, we'll start with the fundamentals, focusing on technique, rhythm, and coordination. I emphasise practical exercises and fun play-along sessions, helping you build a solid foundation while exploring various styles, from rock to jazz.

In DJing, lessons will cover everything from equipment setup to mixing techniques. We’ll dive into beatmatching, transitions, and track selection, allowing you to develop your unique sound and style. Expect to work on real sets, honing your skills in a supportive environment.

For Ableton production, we'll explore the software and features through hands-on projects. I'll guide you through creating beats, arranging tracks, and using effects, ensuring you understand both the creative and technical aspects. Expect a mix of structured lessons and free experimentation, allowing your creativity to flourish.

Throughout all lessons, I prioritise a relaxed atmosphere that encourages questions and exploration. My goal is to empower you to express yourself musically, building confidence and skills that will last a lifetime.
