    I truly had an impactful experience learning how to make beats and navigating the platform that Yoav showed me to produce music. Yoav was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and beyond patient. I had SO much fun taking his class!

    Great class! covered a lot of my (many) questions in music theory and production. I'm a total beginner, but Yoav the instructor was super helpful and gave me personalized guidance, and made the class a lot of fun. Overall, I was surprised by how much I learned in just one session so I feel more confident now using Ableton and start a ‘beat’

    My teen son and I booked a class to learn how to make beats with the Maschine MK3. Great fun! The instructor explained things well and my son was very engaged in the lesson. We will do this again.

    This class was great! In about 90 minutes I went from never having touched Ableton Live to learning how to load drums and virtual instruments, insert and manipulate a .wav sample, use an Akai MPD218 as a controller, and force a melody to play in a particular scale. I was very pleased with the results of my first beat. I would recommend this class to all. A+++

    A very informative and super helpful class. In the past year, I started to play around with music software and controllers, and in this class, I feel I learned a lot about mixing and music production in just one session, much more than any other course I've tried before. Also, it helped me set a more clear agenda about how to continue my music education, being mostly self-thought in music. Definitely coming back thank you!

    I’ve bought this class for my boyfriend’s birthday and he made a trance track in 1.5 hours with Yo’av. He is a great teacher and we had a lot of fun. If you are into music and creating your own track or just try the experience, I would totally recommend it. Even in one class he shows you so much and you can actually take the knowledge and continue to work on your track after the course if you have the softwer. Very cool class and very nice teacher!
