Podcast & Music Production

My passion for technology and creativity led me to podcasting and music production. With no set curriculum, I meet you where you are—whether it’s recording your first episode, mixing a track, or producing a full project, lessons focus on the tools and skills you need now.

Testimonials

Barbara L.

"As an older adult beginner, I appreciated Andrew's infinite patience in teaching me, not only the bass from scratch, but aspects of theory that applied to the music I was playing. He always suggested alternative approaches, if I couldn't manage to master a riff in the beginning. And, jamming together with him was great fun!"

Rohit S.

"I worked with Andrew for over a year and had no musical background. While I came to him for bass instructions, we evolved to doing both bass and drum instruction. I learned a lot from him as he was patient and adaptable throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a musical instructor."

What Software should I download?

We teach primarily with Presonus Studio One. We recommend Studio One for beginners because it is the most affordable full-featured digital audio workstation (DAW) at $20/month. This is a great opportunity for new producers to try it out.

If you are already familiar with a DAW, we teach Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic, and Reaper as well.
