About
I believe you have come to the right space if you are looking for expertise in DJing, Music Production, Music Theory, Mixing & Mastering or any other electronic music related field.
Why ?
I say this because I come from a strong educational background in music as I have studied music theory from Trinity College, London, successfully finished a Music Industry Essential Course from NYU-TISCH, New York and have been teaching music production and djing from past 8 years and counting.
I also believe in learning everyday so that I stay to upto date with the everyday evolving electronic music industry so that I can impart the same knowledge to my peers.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is practical and is highly based on the student that I am dealing with. For young producers I always keep it very simple for them give them easy assignments to get them comfortable with the music production process whereas if I am dealing with students who have some prior knowledge then in that case we dive more deeply in all the concepts of sound along with intermediate/advanced level assignments.
