About
Harry, also known by his artist name Typho, is an independent songwriter from Leeds, UK. With a musical journey spanning over seven years, he has cultivated a deep passion for writing and producing music. In addition to helping online students navigate Ableton Live , Harry has found fulfillment in sharing his expertise with others as a piano and guitar teacher in schools. He specializes in in teaching complete beginners, ensuring they receive a solid foundation and are empowered to pursue their musical aspirations.
In 2015, he earned a BSc (Hons) degree in Music Technology. Following graduation, Harry ventured to Auckland, New Zealand, where he worked as a studio recording engineer, honing his skills in the realm of sound production. During this time he has adeptly utilized various music production and sound editing software, among which he finds Ableton Live to be the most versatile and user-friendly for writing, editing, recording, mixing, and mastering music. It is an excellent tool for beginners to learn.
I tailor my lessons to meet the unique needs of each student. I strongly believe that music should be a source of joy and free from unnecessary stress. My primary goal is to create a learning environment where students feel comfortable and at ease, enabling them to develop confidence in their abilities.
I offer practical lessons for Ableton Live 11 (or previous versions) using screen share on zoom. Using this software I will teach you songwriting, recording, production, editing and mixing/ mastering at the beginner - intermediate - advanced levels.
You will learn how to navigate the software and learn the techniques that will enable you to start making your own finished pieces of music. You will have the opportunity to create records from scratch, develop your skills and release your inner creativity. Through these lessons, you will be able to create your own professional-sounding music all the way from an idea to a fully finished production. I'm happy to teach students of any level and age, in any style. For those of you who record real instruments / vocals I will also teach you about proper microphone placement and acoustic room treatment so you can get the best sound possible in your home studio.
I specialize in providing piano and guitar lessons that cater specifically to individuals who are completely new to these instruments. What sets me apart is my unwavering commitment to patience, enthusiasm, and the creation of engaging lesson plans. My ultimate goal is to empower students by equipping them with the necessary tools to become self-taught musicians and accomplish their unique musical aspirations. By immersing myself in the perspective of my students, I am able to wholeheartedly focus on and adapt to their personal interests and learning preferences. I firmly believe that embracing mistakes is the key to effective learning and growth.
