WHAT OUR MEMbERS ARE SAYING

Keith Pimmel

Anthony’s succinct yet substantive teaching style has proven to be a boon in helping digest a litany of topics across all the material he has released. I’m a big fan & can readily endorse the courses.

VegardHa

Both [the Live Performance & Pigments courses] are very thorough & go into great detail, covering basically anything you need to know. The information is well presented, & the videos don't get boring.

Kokula

I started with the Ableton Live performance course and got hooked. Anthonys way of teaching totally resonates with how i understand things.

Watch the free one and see what you think. I am glad I bought it. Also, once you are a student, you get a pretty deep discount on Ableton and Arturia stuff which was nice to grab.

Dominick Antonelli

I purchased the full series of lessons and my gosh it is so packed! I've only made it through a small portion so far, and have lots more to learn and apply to my own music creations.

Not only does [the songwriting course] provide an extensive & thorough understanding of Ableton, but also includes music theory and numerous other musical concepts akin to a classical music training.

Hunter Wiley

Anthony's teaching approach gave me a sense of autonomy, creativity and confidence in my music making -- instead of the typical dogmatic approach of blindly following tutorials step-by-step.

July, 2023

neoport

Really in-depth, structured very well, absolutely professional content along with Anthony's great voice :D, humor are the best way for me to learn what I was always dreaming of.

Anthony is a great teacher who breaks down complex technical material into digestible and well organized modules. I’ve took the mixing and mastering course and it has leveled up my production game!

If you want to learn Ableton Live, you've reached your place of zen.

The courses gave me the fundamental understanding of how a Ableton Live works, and how I can utilize that in my own production, and in my own career, Seed To Stage gave me that opportunity.
