Anthony has put a huge amount of time and energy into his courseware, and it shows. He’s a fantastic teacher, in addition to his obvious skills with Ableton and as a working musician and producer.

I was never able to learn any music production skills before taking Anthony’s courses. I did 8% of his songwriting course so far and I can’t believe what I learned already!

The Seed to Stage courses are one of the best investments I have ever made in music. The step up in knowledge and skill I have gained from the courses is immense. Anthony has a great teaching style...

This is a never ending process which usually begins whenever Ableton launches a Beta for a new version. It then takes some time to digest those new changes and features to ensure that all content lives up to the standards I set for myself. You can also vote on which features to prioritize in the Private Student Discord, available to all students of my Four Main Courses!

You will need a working version of Ableton Live.
