Music Production & Sound Engineering

Learn to Write, Record, and Produce Your Own Music!

♫ With me, students can learn: » To write, record, and produce a song in your desired genre » To make original beats » Songwriting and composition » To use Logic Pro X to produce music » To record your voice and your instrument » Midi sequencing » Audio editing » To compose music using notation software » Music theory (scales, melodies, chords and advanced theory) » Instrumentation During our lessons the student sets the pace. I tailor each lesson to specifically fit my student's interest and abilities to ensure they are not only progressing, but also enjoying the process of making music. The lesson's focus is on the type of music the student wants to produce, whether it's EDM, pop, hip-hop, singer-songwriter, or another genre altogether. ⁍ If you're brand new to music production, we can start with learning the software and producing simple tracks using your favorite style of music as a reference point. ⁍ If you're a songwriter interested in recording and producing your originals, we can work on translating your ideas into Logic Pro X. ⁍ If you produce beats and want to transform them into complete songs, I can work with you on music theory, melodic ideas, and song direction as well as story-telling through lyrics. ⁍ If you're already producing music and want to broaden your expertise or just need a little guidance in some areas, we can go deeper in those specific areas so you can finish your tracks faster. ⁍ If you're a more advanced producer looking to expand your knowledge, we can deep dive into sound design, sound layering, VSTs, as well as musical analysis. Previous musical training is not required. My lessons are for all ages and levels of experience, so feel free to book me!

Welcome to my page! I'm a pianist, composer, and music producer from the US with more than 10 years of teaching experience. I have a deep passion for music education and extensive experience in the music industry as I worked for the Recording Academy, which is the organization that produces the GRAMMY awards. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Technology and Composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and am currently continuing my music studies at Abbey Road Institute. I am a patient, kind, and fun teacher who guides and motivates my students to reach their full musical potential. I can teach just about anything musical that the student wishes to learn!

Danielle is very patient and puts a lot of effort into her teaching to suit the student at the level they are at. She is amazing as a teacher and supports her student's learning as much as possible even after the class is over with materials that can help with self practice.

Danielle is a phenomenal instructor, I’m reading music in 2 classes already, something I thought I wouldn’t be able to do in nearly such a short time. I look forward to every class with her.
