Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn our first lesson, I focus on getting to know the student — their personality, musical interests, and comfort level. We explore simple melody-building games and a basic lyric exercise so I can understand how they naturally create. I also introduce the core idea that songwriting should feel fun and relaxed, not pressured. By the end of the first lesson, the student will have created a small musical idea and will feel confident that they can write and express themselves.
Lesson 11+Beyond lesson eleven, students move into more advanced creative development. We refine their artistic style, explore storytelling techniques, improve vocal performance, and enhance musical arrangement or production. Depending on their goals, we may record polished versions of their songs, create a small project, or begin developing a personal songwriting portfolio. Each student continues at their own pace, with a focus on creative joy, skill-building, and long-term growth.
Lesson 4-10During lessons four through ten, students start developing full songs. We work on:
• writing stronger melodies
• expanding verses and choruses
• refining lyrics for clarity and emotion
• basic rhythm, phrasing, and delivery
• simple beatmaking or harmonic support if they’re interested
• recording early drafts of their work
By this stage, students gain confidence, understand the songwriting process, and can independently generate ideas. Most students complete 1–2 full original songs during this period.
Lesson 2-3In lessons two and three, we begin building foundational skills. Students learn:
• how to create simple, singable melodies
• how to use repetition and variation
• how to brainstorm lyric ideas without judgment
• how to shape their ideas into short song sections
We usually complete a short verse or chorus together. These lessons help students understand the structure of songs and begin developing their own creative voice.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonFor advanced students, the first lesson is an assessment and a collaboration. I listen to their existing work, learn their creative goals, and identify what skills they want to strengthen — melody writing, lyric depth, vocal performance, rhythm, arranging, or production. We break down one of their songs (or a new idea) to understand their artistic voice and discuss the direction they want to grow. From there, I design a personalized plan that challenges them while keeping the creative process enjoyable and inspiring.
Lesson 11+Beyond lesson eleven, we shift into artist development. Advanced students may:
• assemble a cohesive project or EP
• refine their signature sound
• learn professional studio workflow
• improve collaborative writing skills
• build performance confidence
• prepare songs for release, showcases, or auditions
These sessions are tailored to their long-term goals — whether they want to become performers, songwriters, producers, or simply master the craft for personal expression. My focus is to help them reach a level of artistry they’re proud of and understand how to sustain their growth independently.
Lesson 4-10During this stage, advanced learners start creating a polished body of work. We focus on:
• developing multiple original songs in different styles
• refining vocal performance and expression
• exploring more complex songwriting techniques
• learning arrangement strategy and production layering
• creating demo-quality recordings
• building artistic identity and consistency
Students typically complete several strong songs during this stretch and gain a level of creative control and confidence they’ve never had before.
Lesson 2-3Lessons two and three focus on technical refinement and elevating their writing or production quality. We may work on:
• improving melodic architecture and phrasing
• deepening lyric concepts, imagery, and storytelling
• strengthening rhythm, groove, and vocal delivery
• tightening song structure and transitions
• cleaning up arrangement ideas or early production
Advanced students can expect clear, honest feedback with actionable steps to take their work from “good” to “industry-ready.”**
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen I work with kids, I keep lessons fun, structured, and highly interactive. Younger students learn best through simple games, call-and-response melody activities, and playful lyric exercises that spark their imagination. I focus on building confidence first — helping them feel safe, supported, and excited to create. I break concepts into small, easy steps and celebrate their progress so they always leave feeling proud of what they made.
Working with teenagersWith teenagers, I provide a more collaborative and expressive environment. Teens often have stronger opinions, emotions, and musical tastes, so I help them shape those ideas into real songs. We explore deeper songwriting topics like storytelling, melody crafting, vocal delivery, and music production. I also give space for independence and creative leadership, while still guiding them with structure and technique. My goal is to help teens develop their artistic identity and feel confident using their voice.
What you need to bringStudents are welcome to bring a smartphone, tablet, or laptop if they want to save ideas or continue working between lessons. A simple notebook and pen are also helpful, though I can provide those as well. No special equipment is required — just bring your creativity and willingness to learn.
What I can bringI bring a full mobile recording studio equipped with near-professional gear, including high-quality microphones, headphones, speakers, and an iPad Pro running GarageBand and Logic Pro. I also provide notebooks, pens, and everything needed for songwriting, beatmaking, and vocal recording. Students do not need to own any equipment to get started — I supply everything required for a complete creative lesson.
