What is Ableton Live?

Ableton Live is a digital audio workstation (DAW) designed for music creation, production, and live performance. Unlike traditional recording software, Ableton offers two distinct workflows: the Arrangement View for building full tracks, and the Session View for improvising and experimenting in real time.

With built-in sounds, instruments, effects, and powerful tools for recording and editing, Ableton Live makes it easy to go from a rough idea to a polished track. Our lessons help you unlock its potential and start creating music right away.

A Hands-On Approach to Learning

Our Ableton Live program emphasizes interactive, project-based learning. Students will create original tracks, remix songs, and experiment with effects as they go. From laying down beats and loops to arranging full compositions, each lesson is structured around real-world techniques used by professional producers.

We focus on building your skills step-by-step while giving you the space to explore your own musical style. Instructors provide ongoing feedback and guidance to help you refine your sound and gain confidence using the software. No matter what your musical interests are, your lessons will be tailored to it.

Personalized Instruction for All Levels

Just getting started? Or looking to deepen your production chops? Our one-on-one lessons are customized to meet your experience level and goals.

Beginners are introduced to the interface, instruments, and basic workflow of Ableton Live, while more advanced students can explore mixing, mastering, sound design, and even live performance setups.

We work at your pace and adapt the curriculum to fit your learning style. You’ll not only learn how to use the software, but how to think like a producer—developing your ear, organizing sessions, and making creative decisions that elevate your music.

What You'll Learn

Our Ableton Live lessons cover a broad range of topics, starting with the fundamentals of music production and moving into more specialized techniques. You'll learn how to program beats, layer synths, record vocals or instruments, and use automation and effects to shape your sound.

We also introduce students to sampling, MIDI editing, and creative sound manipulation. For those interested in live performance, we can cover controller mapping and setting up live sets. By the end of your sessions, you’ll feel confident navigating the software and producing music that reflects your own artistic vision.
