MAO class with a hyper-creative professional named Costals
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
After getting started with your music application (eg Ableton Live) you can experience a fun-oriented approach.I will teach you how to unleash your creative genius using different games. The rules of these games will act as restrictions. The idea is to encourage creativity by limiting the options. Options which are far too numerous and which destabilize beginners, and not only!
Over the weeks, and ideally through daily work on your part, you will develop your own unique style - music that only you can make, no one else.
My approach is based on quality through quantity. If you want to make good music, you have to be willing to make bad music. And a lot ! I will teach you how to strengthen your mindset to overcome all the psychological blockages that creators face.
Thanks to this methodology, you will progress very quickly while having fun.
I can guarantee you will finish your first track in 1 month - as long as you can spend at least 15 minutes a day, take one class a week, and accept the idea that you will never be 100% satisfied with it. your work (this is normal). It doesn't matter what you think about it at the moment - your opinion changes, and what is certain is that you will have learned a lot in no time.
I also help you get the right material depending on how you want to make music and your budget. However, you can make music simply with Ableton Live and headphones or speakers.

About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I mainly publish music.I was born near Gallipoli in southern Italy in 1987, and grew up in the canton of Geneva in Switzerland, where I am still based.
Active for ten years. DJ practicing since 2005 and performing since 2008, I have always shared my favorites through my mixes.
When I started in the trance scene, I was very influenced by Swiss DJs / producers Koris, Madwave, Dave Joy and above all, the prolific Marco Guardia who was behind the SHOKK and Flutlicht projects, as well as some Tatana productions , Energy and many others. Today Marco Guardia makes music for video games under the name of Monomirror. Hyper-creative who learns very quickly, he recently created almost by himself from A to Z the game Octahedron.
In 2019 my first series of ten years of existence with more than fifty episodes.
I launch my own label in 2020 and develop my online coaching business for people who want to live music.

Music Production / Songwriting / Electronic Music Individual TutoringAlmost all music today is made using computers—whether it's composed, recorded, or edited with music software. It has never been easier to create music yourself, requiring very little equipment or prior experience.
I offer classes for all skill levels, from beginners who want to learn the basics and get to grips with music-making software, to experienced artists and producers looking to refine their skill set and make their music sound unique and professional.
I have worked with artists across a wide range of genres, backgrounds, and ages. Through this experience, I’ve found that the common goal and joy in music is honest self-expression, something I pride myself on encouraging and facilitating, no matter your level of experience or confidence.
The structure and timeline of the classes are flexible and can be tailored to your needs. For beginners, I typically recommend starting with an hour-long session once a week for ten weeks. The goal would be to finish at least two songs or pieces of music by the end of the course. Classes can be conducted in person or online.
I am a classically trained musician. I was a chorister at Cambridge's King's College Choir as a child and received a music scholarship to one of the UK’s top secondary schools, where I studied trumpet, piano, viola, singing, and composition. It was there that I discovered my passion for music production on computers. I also achieved top grades in Music Technology and offer tutoring for Music Technology exams at both GCSE and A-Level. I then went on to study at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, specializing in Electronic and Produced Music, where I graduated with a first-class degree. My studies included modules in popular music production, songwriting, film music composition, acousmatic music, and orchestration, among others.
Since then, I have been working with the charity Key Changes, where I visit psychiatric hospitals and forensic wards to collaborate with patients on music production and songwriting. A large part of this work involves creating instrumentals for rappers, which allowed me to learn how to produce drill and trap music. I’ve also run music production workshops for children aged 8-16 and provided individual tutoring to many young learners.
I have an enhanced DBS check and extensive experience working with children aged 4 and up, including students with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I look forward to hearing from you!
