I'm a lifelong musician and music lover who started playing cello in 1977. My background includes classical training and performances, as well as rock bands, arranging popular songs for solo and band shows, and writing my own parts for original music. I also write and produce music in Reaper, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools. I enjoy helping students learn to arrange and play music that inspires them, and I include appropriate music theory, ear training, and analysis in the lessons.


As a dedicated Music Production Coach with over 14 years of experience, I empower aspiring artists and producers to transform their ideas into polished tracks. My passion lies in demystifying the world of sound, making complex concepts accessible, fun, and deeply engaging. My journey includes managing a studio at the Best Buy Teen Tech Center in North Minneapolis, where I had the privilege of teaching music production to inner-city youth, an experience that deepened my commitment to fostering creativity and providing hands-on skills to the next generation of music makers. Additionally, I bring extensive real-world expertise from the nightlife scene, having served as a Sound and Lighting Manager and Resident DJ at prominent Minneapolis venues. This background honed my understanding of audio optimization, live sound engineering, and the art of curating immersive sonic experiences, providing me with invaluable skills for teaching students how to produce, mix, and master their unique sound.
"This music production class is a hidden gem! Whether you're just starting or looking to refine advanced techniques, the instruction is top-notch. The option to learn on BandLab for beginners, or dive deep into Ableton Live, shows great flexibility. The coffee shop location creates a comfortable, inspiring atmosphere that fosters creativity. Rickey and is incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about teaching. I always leave feeling more confident and creatively charged. Highly recommend!"
Hi! I’m a classically trained musician with over 15 years of piano experience and a doctoral student in clarinet performance at the university.

I focus on building strong foundations, developing good practice habits, and exploring classical repertoire in a fun, goal-oriented way. Let’s enjoy the music-making journey together!
I have a Bachelor in Music Education where I was trained to play and teach guitar. I have a couple of experience in teaching piano privately especially with kids. I also perform around cities by doing gigs and open mics. I know that I have so much to offer to my students from my past experiences and skills that I develop.

Music is my passion, and sharing that passion with others through cello is incredibly rewarding. With 22 years of experience, I provide personalized guidance to help students of all levels unlock their musical potential and find joy in the beauty of the cello.

Seasoned guitarist with a history of 25 years performing and recording in rock, metal, post-metal, and post-rock. A Berklee College of Music alumnus, I've studied guitar, composition, film scoring, audio engineering, and sound design. In 2002, my college band won the Earnie Ball contest for the Vans Warped Tour, and in 2015, my band Legendary Skies achieved global acclaim in post-rock. As a teacher, my mission is to demystify music theory, empowering students to grasp the guitar in a way that fuels their creativity. Let's embark on a musical journey where theory meets expression!
"Paul White has been a tremendous teacher for me in better understanding music theory. It was always a part of music I couldn't get my head around until I got help from Paul. He made it easy for me to get different music theory concepts and gave me exercises to do on my own to better imprint in my mind. He is patient, challenges you, and makes learning fun. I definitely recommend Paul to anyone who wants to become a better guitar player, theory knowledge, and recording as well. He has a great attitude and competent in the language of music.


I've been serenading the strings of acoustic guitars for an incredible 30 years. As a self-taught troubadour, I understand the journey's ups and downs and the occasional frustration that comes with it. Fear not; my teaching style is as chill as a breezy jam session, aimed at putting my students at ease and infusing them with the confidence to keep strumming. In each session, I ensure my students leave with a smile, armed with the "I can do this" attitude. There is no overwhelming music theory here – just the joy of playing!
