Music Production Beginner Course with Ableton Live - Facilitated by Stefano Sgarbi (Sun Anga)

Music production is becoming increasingly accessible (and enjoyable!) thanks to programs like Ableton Live. 

From studio productions to live sets. With synthesisers, drum machines, live instruments and vocals. We now have easy access to the tools to make any genre of music. Whether it's EDM, downtempo, uptempo, psychedelic music, organic and ethnic sonorities, medicine music, synth-pop or crazy avant-garde experimentations. All are possible and can be made from the comfort of your own home.

Through this 4-week course, Stefano Sgarbi, with his deep and diverse experience in the field of music (specifically electronic music) will introduce you to one of his best friends: Ableton Live.

Stefano encourages a lively and dynamic learning environment and will take you deep into notions and exercises through a friendly and fun exchange. As part of this offering, he will also be available outside of each lesson for questions and exchanges about music.

His goals for this course are to:

- Help you take the first steps into the learning the software and electronic music making

- Prepare you with the beginning tools and knowledge that you need in order to start making music and have fun with it

- Guide and support you in the process to become a self-standing music producer

For those who want to go further, Stefano also offers private lessons and may consider offering a further advanced course depending on the will and energy of the group to continue learning.
