First we must asses the students teaching needs and then we must asses the equipment and facilites available to learn on. This information gives a focused program of sessions that are tailored to each individuals wants, skill levels and technical ability / facility.
Sometimes technology doesn't always want to work with you and we can easily avoid lack of access to technolgy with a few freeware solutions or alternatives that may 'work' Often technology is a barrier to getting creative and we just a need a guide to steer us through. Generally we will be able assess how we will go forward effectively in the first session.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginners and advanced producers. I will help you learn a wide range of techniques and learn how to work with different styles.
Music is my 24/7. I have strong beliefs that as a musican it helps to be self-suffciant, so I believe music technology is paramount in reaching that aim. I have recorded and worked with musicians for over 30 years.
My experience comes from being a multi-instrumentalist, workshop leader, studio owner, commuiity worker, teacher, mentor, record label owner and a film production specialist. I have a 20 year working background in live sound, music technology retail, seo and marketing, music performance, and large scale project management.
These skills offer a unique set of experices to impart on my sessions. Previous guest lectures have been for Liverpool Hope University, University of Gloucestershire and Stephen is a frequent contributor to the L.M.A. media program.
