Thank you John for sharing you passion for music and years of experience in an easy to digest, engaging, fun and hilarious 8 week beginner course. As someone who has always struggled in the classroom and was quite overwhelmed by the thought of music production, you delivered the course in a way that kept me engaged and gave me the confidence to carve my own path navigating the beast that is Ableton.
I really appreciate the follow up emails that gets sent out after each class with a recap + additional YouTube videos to watch (he picks really entertaining yet educational creators).
John has a very engaging persona in class and keeps the vibe very upbeat with his jokes and mannerisms!
The concepts and techniques he teaches gives you a basic understanding of the entire process involved in producing a track and he really draws out the inner creator in all of his students regardless of music making experience.
The way that John structured this course made learning Ableton super simple, tangible and FUN from the get go. Getting to create songs from the very first week and to continue working on music we had created each week, made it really fun and balanced out the learning new stuff component with a lot of creativity.
I learnt a lot from his course and could trust his decades of experience.
John’s technical knowledge of the electric bass and music theory is excellent and his teaching style is relaxed and friendly. I commenced as a beginner and John was very patient going over basic concepts multiple times until I understood. He is also happy to accommodate specific songs that I need assistance with. I thoroughly recommend John to anyone interested in improving their bass playing skills!
