Computer-assisted music (MAO)Since the 2000s, digital technology has offered us infinite possibilities in the creation of varied sound universes from real and virtual instruments, samples, sound synthesis and various tools allowing us to shape, sculpt and color sound.
Although music theory is sometimes useful, learning MAO can be done intuitively without theoretical knowledge of music theory or an instrument. However, sound creation on DAW (Ableton Live, Cubase, FL, etc.) is a vast and complex universe. It requires great perseverance to understand how the DAW works as well as a good knowledge of the tools and the composition of a sound.
Many people stop along the way, discouraged by the mass of information they must integrate before they can make a “good sound”. But professional quality sound can now be produced at home with minimal equipment!
To begin with, a computer, a DAW and a good monitoring system are enough to develop very rich and complex pieces. The possibilities for creating different combinations with additional hardware are very varied: synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, real/virtual instruments, turntables, sound banks, midi controllers, inexpensive effects, etc.
The tools that certain computer programs (plugins) provide us with are sophisticated and, for the most part, inexpensive, allow us to learn different sound sculpting techniques in a very personal form. Learning computer music is therefore enriching in a multitude of aspects, which we discover throughout our projects and allow us to make our ideas real!

About Me
Fascinated since my childhood by this abstract mystery that is sound, I have accumulated knowledge for more than 10 years on the creation of immersive sound worlds and the embellishment of multiple sound projects. This knowledge was consolidated by a professional approach during a Bachelor at the SAE in Brussels.Passing on my knowledge has become a new passion, accompanying beginners and more advanced to fulfill their dream: get out of their mind their creativity and develop their musical identity.
I participated in projects like those of Nathan Bonjour ("Niggas in Paris remix"), Juldem (EP "On our own"), YNK (Prod, compo, arrangement) 13 mini (Prod, compo, arrangement), etc...
I continue to develop my own universe of composition. Favorite styles: reggae, hip hop, trap, psy, cinematic.
In parallel, I mix and I also accompany the artists to help them develop their musical project, guiding them towards their own arrangements and a clear structure.
My work on computer is also accompanied by real instruments such as guitar or various instruments: harp, melodica, maracas,... .

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!
