Recording Lessons

In addition to drum and percussion lessons, I also offer private “Introduction to Music Recording” lessons. These lessons are aimed at introducing students to their preferred music software and the possibilities it has for recording their music. Lessons are structured around the basics of the recording process, including basic set-up, mic techniques for different instruments, how to work with audio tracks, working with some basic effects plug-ins (e.g. EQ, Reverb, Compression, Delays), and an introduction to mixing. The end product of this process will be mp3 or CD ready music. These lessons are designed for those with little or no experience recording music.
