"What impressed me most about Zavier was how much he cares about his students. He doesn’t just show you what buttons to press—he teaches you how to think like a producer. He’s patient, easy to talk to, and you can tell he has a real passion for music and helping others grow. I learned more in a few sessions with him than I had from months of watching YouTube videos.

I've spent the last 10+ years producing music, performing, engineering audio, and teaching students around the world, and I love helping people find a workflow that clicks for them. Whether you're brand new to Ableton Live, working on your first song, or preparing for a performance, I'd be happy to help.

"Violet is a good communicator and very responsive. She has the patience to teach the basics as I am new to music production. She provides additional resources that help me to practice what she covers in our sessions. She is attentive to my goals and tailors lessons that are in alignment with my preferences and skill level. I appreciate Violet's assistance on my journey and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking some guidance with music production.

Hi, my name is Giovanni Raimondo, and I'm a music producer with a love for spreading joy through art. I've worked with a variety of students in previous jobs teaching piano, drums, bass, vocals, etc. But now, I'd like to help those interested in creating their own music with production, as that's what I specialized in with my college degree. I like to work with those with a passion for art, but I also enjoy bringing that passion out of those who aren't sure what they're looking for.

I have been working as a touring, session guitarist, music producer, composer, and educator for over 30 years. Working with Carly Rae Jepsen, Sarah Mclachlan, Sophie B Hawkins, David Byrne, Rozzi Crane, among many others. I really enjoy teaching music production, whether you want to learn how to produce a song from beginning to end, record a simple demo, or just record a vocal at home for another producer, or a voiceover demo. I can show you how to get the most from your home set up!

"Joe's a wonderful teacher whose patience and energy really makes production easy and fun. I was amazed with how much I learned in just a few classes. He's super encouraging and taught me a lot of useful techniques and tricks that I use everyday!
