Music Lessons

Individualized lessons, remote or in person in Athens, GA at my home studio. $150 for a monthly slot, or $45 for single individual lessons.

  • Learn piano, bass, guitar, drums, saxophone, or ukulele.

  • Learn home recording and music production, including DAWs, sound design, gain staging, compression and saturation, EQs, mics and mic techniques, sample rates and bit depth, latency, MIDI, modulation effects, tracks and bussing, comping, delays and reverbs, data management, bouncing, mixing, mastering, and self-distribution via spotify, apple music, soundcloud, youtube, etc.

  • Learn the basics of hardware and software synthesis and sampling, sound design, and creating sampler instruments with Logic, Ableton, or Kontakt. Also, if you have a synthesizer you’d like to deepen your knowledge of, we can deep dive into synthesis on a specific instrument.

  • Basic, intermediate, and advanced western music theory, focusing on practical application with modern music. We work with the intention of simplifying complex ideas and connect these ideas with familiar music, so that it becomes easy and useful. Music lessons on an instrument will include some of this, but I am happy to hone in on demystifying music theory as a standalone focus.

  • Perhaps the most niche subject on this list, for keyboard players and electronic musicians, MIDI can seem intimidating and impenetrable at first glance.

    MIDI is arguably the most powerful tool at a musician’s disposal, and it can be understood and wielded effectively without undertaking a monumental effort.
