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.

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.

Ive learned more in the songwriting course in the last month than I could in a couple years of trolling around random youtube videos. Every video has a wealth of information and tips from Anthony!
