Online Ableton Live Courses and Lessons
One to one Ableton Live tuition, online, built around the music you actually want to make. No fixed syllabus and no cookie-cutter course. We work out where you are, where you want to get to, and we build the path between the two. Whether that is house, techno, drum and bass, garage, ambient or something you have not put a name to yet.
Why Choose One-to-One Ableton Live Classes?
If you have spent months on YouTube and still cannot finish a track, that is not a you problem. It is a format problem.
Tutorials are made for nobody in particular. They cannot see your project, they do not know which bit you are stuck on, and they contradict each other constantly. Three videos on sidechain compression will give you three different answers, and none of them will tell you which one applies to the track open on your screen right now.
We don’t teach a syllabus. We teach you.
We look at your actual session. We hear what you are trying to make. Then we teach the thing you need next, in the order you need it, which is almost never the order a course syllabus would have picked. House, techno, drum and bass, garage, ambient, whatever you are actually making
Using Ableton since 2006. Over 11,000 hours of one to one lessons delivered.
Teaching since 2014, and releasing music professionally since 2010. You are learning from people who finish tracks, sign them and play them out, which is a different thing from knowing where the buttons are.

Really intuitive session and insight into workflow which I’ll be taking into my own projects moving forward. Would definitely recommend and I’ll be booking in more sessions as soon as I can.”
