Online Private Lessons

Today’s music production software brings virtual processors worth thousands of dollars of studio equipment to your fingertips. It’s like having a million-dollar music studio in your bedroom. But, it can get complicated…

Numerous windows, neverending menus, knob, buttons, faders, and sliders. It is not always easy to figure it out by trial and error. You can always surf YouTube videos trying to find a specific piece of information. Good luck with that. User manuals can sometimes be frustrating. Or, you might as well use a little help.

I like teaching private lessons. Besides my work in higher education as a professor and administrator, I have been a private instructor for more than 20 years. I use advanced tools and techniques for online lessons. We can see and hear each other as well as sharing screens and streaming the direct output of our music production software without significant quality loss. I am an Avid Certified Pro Tools Instructor and Steinberg Certified Cubase Trainer. I offer intensive training programs as well as one-off mentoring sessions or anything in between on the following topics.
