    Private lessons in MAO and sound techniques.

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Hello and welcome :)

    If you are reading these lines it is because you are passionate, determined to learn, to improve your work, sharpen your mind and your ears.

    You are in the right place!!!

    The current era offers us the possibility of carrying out musical and audiovisual projects at home for a budget that represents only a fraction of what it would have cost us just fifteen years ago.

    The material offer is immense and the prices very competitive. Thus it is theoretically possible to produce quality productions, provided that one knows how to equip oneself in coherence with one's needs and that one applies the right principles.

    In theory yes...but the reality is a little less easy than it seems.

    Indeed, the current tools, if they are available on everyday objects such as a smartphone or an iPad, are nevertheless governed by rules from the world of professional audio.
    So, whether your project is musical, a YouTube channel or a podcast, if you want to realize the potential of your idea and achieve your goals, it is essential to have a minimum knowledge base.

    Otherwise, frustration takes over and your idea, however relevant, ends up in the closet...with all the good resolutions from previous years. Classic. Sad but true.

    So, as you are passionate, you dig into the subject on the internet, you watch YouTube channels... but alone it is difficult to filter the good from the bad, the true from the false, the useful from the superfluous...this is where I come in to guide you in your quest.

    Thanks to personalized courses, adapted to your project and your objectives, I propose to give you the keys to a professionalization of your practice. This does not necessarily mean that you want to make a career, but certainly that you have the will to do things according to the rules of the art, to produce quality by broadening the field of your knowledge.

    Bingo!

    I offer three categories of courses to choose from, the content of which is adapted to your needs and your level.
    Therefore, any new registration for a series of courses begins with a telephone or webcam interview in order to determine the educational content appropriate to your expectations.

    The theoretical part of the courses can be done remotely by the Zoom application, the practical part is done at my home, in a professional environment.

    With all that said, here is an overview of the different programs:

    Music Production for composers, musicians, producers
