One‑to‑One Tuition with a Grammy‑Winning Engineer

I offer a limited number of one-to-one lessons. Each two-hour session is tailored to your specific needs and can cover any area of music production. Whether you’re just starting out or already experienced, the focus is on moving your skills forward in a practical, results-driven way.

With 25 years of industry experience across multiple genres working with both major and independent artists, and five years teaching over 400 students at a leading audio school, I combine real-world practice with structured teaching. From beat-making and sound design through to recording, mixing, and mastering, you’ll learn how to achieve consistently professional results. Full bio available here.

Lessons take place at our Berlin studio, which is an acoustically treated environment with professional equipment and software for focused, hands-on work.
