I offer personalised guidance to intermediate and advanced musicians, producers, and performers looking to refine their techniques, complete projects, and explore new creative possibilities.

Project-Focused Outcomes

While each lesson is tailored to your individual goals, I encourage students to work toward completing a project by the end of a series of sessions. This could include:

  • Finishing a track or EP.
  • Creating a new live performance setup.
  • Preparing a polished mix or mastering a release.

Between sessions, I provide tasks and resources to help you stay on track and make steady progress.
