Over the past 12 years, we've given over 3,000,000 lessons to happy customers around the world.
As a student/client of over 15 years, I have experienced the instructor to always be exceptional. He listens to his clients/students and works to ensure that their needs are being met and that they are satisfied with the services they receive.
Distance isn't a barrier and never has been one! Kenneth has been able to accommodate my recording and instructional needs while I've traveled all over the country! Having a dependable instructor/service provider has been the key to our long standing business relationship and I would recommend Kenneth to anyone needing the awesome services his company provides."
My son has been taking guitar lessons from Tim for over a year now. I have been very pleased with the progress my son is making. Tim makes my son feel very comfortable, and is more than willing to work with him in any area where he shows an interest. Tim is personable and patient.
Tim is quite flexible with time. He has kindly worked around our schedule whenever necessary. His fees are quite reasonable, and he always errs in our favor in regard to time.
Tim is a great guitar player himself with a true love for the instrument, which shows in his teaching. He was invaluable in helping us pick a reasonably priced, yet quality guitar for our son.
He has taught our son any song my son hears on the radio note for note a real gem.We are quite pleased with Tim's teaching, and highly recommend him."
Private Music Recording Lessons Near You
No matter the software you use to learn how to record music — Ableton, Logic Pro X, Ignite, Pro Tools, or another — it's easy to get overwhelmed fast, once you discover the sheer number of features and tools included in these behemoth digital audio workstations (DAW). In addition to selecting and learning software, you'll also be faced with setting up your home studio and choosing hardware and recording equipment.
When your musically creative mind's bursting at the seams, you shouldn't have to worry about wasting money on the wrong DAW or equipment. You shouldn't have to muck through the trial and error of perfecting your processes. With a private music recording teacher, you'll be able to make all the right choices, from the start, as you procure beginner or professional-grade
recording equipment and learn to engineer your unique sound design inside your new DAW.
Why Learn How to Record Music?
Aside from learning for the sheer pleasure of making your own audio artwork, you'll find a plethora of professional opportunities available for composers, songwriters, sound engineers, audio designers, producers, and more across a variety of industries. Whether you want to record your own music or team up with an artist as a producer, knowing the ins and outs of recording music will open the doors. If pure songwriting and recording aren't your thing, you'll also find opportunities available for working in film, television, marketing, and in other positions within the music business.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount there is to learn, take heart. It's important to remember that there are loads of reasons why learning how to record music is a worthwhile pursuit. Plus, learning with private lessons will give you a head start.
