Currently a student in musical education at CEFEDEM Auvergne Rhône Alpes, I graduated from the Conservatory of Chalon-sur-Saône with a triple DEM of Amplified Current Music, Creation-Composition of contemporary music and concrete music. I also obtained a license in Musicology at the University of Dijon. The courses can take the form of project follow-up to anchor your learning at the heart of your personal practice and they can also take the form of more technical courses. They can take place in my own Home Studio or at home, of course for travel costs. The form of the courses is fully customizable and adaptable to all levels, so we can approach the basics, such as setting up your own home studio and learning the basic software. We can also discuss advanced software techniques, mixing and why not composition methods and harmony if you are tempted! Passionate about music and sound technique in the broadest sense, I will welcome you with great pleasure in my studio! Above all, it seems important to me to say that the courses are placed under the sign of good humor and fraternity, which is a prerequisite more than necessary for me to be able to share this passion that drives us all! ;)
