Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I always do my best to get to know them personally, so as to cater the lesson to their needs and skills, rather than from a basic textbook scan from chapter 1 to the end.
Being able to get more knowledge across by learning what your student already knows or doesn't know helps speed up the process and allows for more discussion on subjects that need them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to Los Medanos College, and I completed the Recording Arts program. I am getting my associates degree soon, but I have my Certified Audio Engineer Credential.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I do, my standard rates are $100/hour for music production and workflow skills, teaching a DAW like Ableton is part of that lesson, and nessecary to my system.
How did you get started teaching?
I was teaching as a TA for German in highschool, and a Chess teacher recently as a job. I was teaching kids k-8, including skill ranges from beginners to more advanced students. this included full size classes, and individual lessons.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with students of all ages. Ranging from Kindergarten to senior adults.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently went to the Disciple Tour Show in San Francisco, and it was absolutely amazing! the soundsystem was great,and all the engineers and artists were using Ableton, Traktor, Serato, and Resolume. All things I am familiar with and how they link and interconnect, as well as teach.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Don't get overwhelmed to the point of quitting. There is too many things to know it all, and you will never bhe the best at everything. The best thing you can do for your improvement as an aspiring music production professional, is to take it slow and break it down. Get all the skills and knowledge you need BEFORE money is on the line, and before you need to make your best impression.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are you strengths? Your weaknesses? What are you looking to get out of this lesson, or lessons? How can you apply what you are going to/have learned to your music production? What is the next step after this?
