Sound Engineering & Audio Production: Learn to record and produce music at my professional studio in West Athens, or get step-by-step guidance on building your own home recording studio from the ground up. I teach recording, mixing, midi and midi sequencing, microphone placement, acoustics, overdubbing, Pro Tools certified, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Native Instruments Komplete, and much more.
Music Theory: Learn the tricks to understanding the structure of music, through a Western lens and beyond.
