HOME RECORDING & COMPOSITION LABORATORIES

What’s the difference between a “common” music School and Our guitar course?

The best target in the life of a musician (for hobby or work) is to make his own music and produce his own cd. Many school of music just teach to the students how to play an instrument and how to develop the technique, but if you are good just at that and you cannot write a song you are a “simple” good guitar player. If you want to be a “Musician” you need to develop your songwriting Skills and to write your songs, and above all it’s the most funny and wonderful thing in music...

That is the DIFFERENCE: You will write and record your music or other famous songs with your personal arrangements under my guide. You will be able to MAKE YOUR OWN CD!!!

During the recording and composition lessons we will:
- arrange together a song or build a song from an idea that the student has
- arrange a song of another artist in the style of the student (example: a country version of a Metallica's song)
- record the guitar using my equipment (amps, PC, audio intercard, mixer, speakers etc...)
- program the Drums Samples, keyboard samples, Vocals (if the student also sings for example...)

We mix and master the cd.

For example: you are a beginner or you start now with the guitar lessons, you have 5 lessons of guitar, 5 lessons on the song and 5 lessons on the recording, after that we go on with the regular guitar lessons.

If after the recording sessions the student is planning to make some other songs and to record them, we can have periodical recording laboratories every couple of months, every 3 months, etc..
Like this after 6 months or 1 year you have your complete cd!
