Music Production/Composition/Mixing etc:

Hi,

If you are working a home or project studio, and wish to develop a deeper knowledge of recording/mixing techniques and production/programming/music technology/composition etc then you might consider some tuition and guidance.

There's only so much one can learn from reading a book (or seven!) on the subject - music production is about LISTENING.... and then nurturing your skills to carve the music into your vision of how YOU want it to sound...

Working with Logic Pro and most major DAWs/plugins/hardware.

I am a professional teacher - not a producer who decided to turn his hand teaching just to even out the freelancers' income roller-coaster!

It's true, someone who 'knows their stuff' does not necessarily a good teacher make!

I can teach at my studio, but you may prefer to work at yours on your own set-up (call-out fee applies). Alternatively, you can bring in your projects to my studio. Call for a chat about system/plugin compatibility etc...

I am adept across most genres, with a particular specialism in electronic/dance music. I have been producing tracks for commercial release for over 10 years. I am also a writer/producer for the KPM Library Music House (the library music division of EMI), composing music for TV/Film use. Other credits include Sony, Sky, Sainsbury's and Channel 4 TV, plus many releases on labels such as Armada, Data, Positiva etc.

Because I have multi-disciplinary skills. knowledge and experience, I can teach a 'layered' lesson combining whatever areas the student wishes to develop - be it production, music-theory, keyboard skills, composition and arrangement, mixing, programming etc..

The rates for tuition are:

£45/hr plus call-out fee (which is £10 or more depending on time/distance to travel). Block booking discounts for courses of lessons. 2 hour sessions are priced at £80 plus call-out if required.

These rates represent great value compared with institutions like SAE, Alchemea, Point Blank etc, and the sessions have the major advantage of being one-to-one and are not constricted by syllabus/mixed ability big group situations.

I am also available for:

Recording studio and mixing/songwriting/programming and production sessions.

Apple Mac Tuition/Service/Troubleshooting/Maintenance etc - Coming over from Windows? Not getting the most out of OS X - need some tips/guidance?

Professional Guitar/Piano/Song-writing/Music Theory Tuition - from time to time I have vacancies.See my website for details below.

Professional 'troubleshooting' service to help resolve problems with your set-up. Full studio installations/set-ups are also taken on - small bedroom set-ups up to larger studios.

Thanks,

Kevin Edge

You can see a profile and listen to examples of my compositions/productions by searching for "Edge Music Terrafunka" on Soundcloud - it should be the first result. You can also see a link to my website there, on the profile page on SC.
