About the instructor:
I have been studying music for 10 years and using Ableton Live for almost 5 years. I have a Master's Degree in Music Technology and I have recently completed the online course "Advanced Music Production with Ableton Live" at the Berklee School of Music. I have been teaching Information Technology/Computer Science at the college level for 3 years and guitar lessons/music theory for 5 years. That being said, I am still learning new things about music and Ableton Live every day! So if you have experience producing, DJing, remixing, or using Live, please feel free to attend and contribute to the discussion. Hope to see you there!
