Beginner training plan
Your first classI start by learning the student’s goals, favorite artists, current setup, and experience level. Then we make sure they understand the basics of their recording workflow, including how to set up a session, record an idea, organize tracks, and listen critically. The goal is to leave the first lesson with something simple recorded or planned so they feel immediate progress.
Class 2-3Lessons 2 and 3 focus on building comfort with the tools. We work on recording clean parts, using basic MIDI or audio tracks, arranging sections, and understanding simple production choices like levels, tone, timing, and song structure. I usually give small exercises between lessons so the student can build confidence without feeling overwhelmed.
Class 4-10Lessons 4 through 10 move into creating more complete productions. We work on arrangement, layering, editing, basic mixing concepts, reference tracks, effects, transitions, and making the song feel finished. I tailor this stage around the student’s style, whether they are making rock, pop, electronic, hip-hop, singer-songwriter, or instrumental music.
Class 11+After lesson 11, we focus on developing the student’s own sound and finishing real projects. This can include advanced arrangement, vocal or instrument production, mixing decisions, performance prep, live playback, release planning, and improving their personal workflow. The goal is for students to become more independent and confident producers.
