Rory Godson
About
My name is Rory. I have 9 years of experience producing electronic music and using Ableton Live, including creating and releasing my own tracks.
I am a graduate with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Production and DJ Practice from Point Blank Music School in London. I am also a Level 5 qualified teacher.
I have a huge passion for helping people and I know what it takes to create great electronic music.
I also have a background in multimedia, creative work, and teaching support roles.
Teaching Style
I help producers go from having ideas to finishing complete professional tracks in Ableton Live. Not only do I show you the practical side, I also focus on inspiration and what excites you, so you can create something you truly love.
If you’ve started before but felt stuck, overwhelmed, frustrated or unsure how to actually finish your song, I’ll guide you through a clear, structured process so you can build confidence and finish your music. I help electronic music producers improve arrangement, workflow, melodies, layering, and track structure inside Ableton Live.

We’ll work step-by-step so you always know what you’re doing and why, no confusion, no wasted time.

Final note:
If you’re serious about learning Ableton and want to actually finish great music, feel free to get in touch. We'll cover all of the buttons, tools and Ableton mechanics, and we'll also cover how to turn feelings, ideas, and inspiration into actual music.
You can do this, you just need the right support and system.
Curriculum
My teaching method focuses on learning through creating. Rather than overwhelming students with what each button does, I guide them through building real music from the beginning, starting with simple loops, beats and melodies, then gradually introducing arrangement, effects, mixing and workflow.
I also encourage students to draw inspiration from visuals, stories, emotions and the music they love, helping them develop their own creative identity alongside technical skills.
Lessons are taught interactively through Ableton Live itself.
