Private Lessons

Electronic Music Production • Sound Design • Microtonal Theory

1-on-1 Sessions
Personalized Curriculum
All Skill Levels

I teach electronic music production through a personalized, experimental approach. Rather than following a set curriculum, we explore whatever fascinates you most—whether that's psychedelic sound design, microtonal harmony, or the technical craft of mixing.

My background spans psychoacoustics research at Dolby, years of producing ambient and experimental electronic music, and a deep fascination with how sound affects consciousness. I work with curious students at any level who want to push beyond conventional approaches to music making.

What we explore

• Sound Design & Synthesis

Deep dives into synthesizers, sampling techniques, and creating unique textures. Learn to design sounds that stand out and express your artistic vision.

• Mixing & Mastering

Professional techniques for polishing your tracks. Learn to create depth, clarity, and impact in your mixes with both technical and creative approaches.

• Music Theory

Build a strong foundation in harmony, rhythm, arrangement, and compositional theory. Whether you're just starting out or filling in gaps, we cover the concepts that make your music more intentional and expressive.

• Microtonal & Xenharmonic Theory

Explore beyond 12-tone equal temperament. Learn alternative tuning systems and how to incorporate them into your electronic music.

• Workflow & Composition

Optimize your DAW workflow, session organization, and creative process. Develop arrangement and composition strategies that help you finish tracks and stay inspired.

We can work with your DAW of choice, analyze reference tracks, or focus on specific techniques you want to develop. Each lesson is structured around what will help you grow most as an artist.
