From Making Beats to Making Full Songs
I originally reached out to Mikhail because I wanted to improve my music production, but I also told him that my bigger goal is to eventually become a complete artist who can sing, write, and produce my own music. Before our first lesson, we had a quick 20-minute call to see if we would be a good fit, and that conversation was honestly what made me realize he was the right teacher for me. After listening to my music, he recognized that I already knew how to make and produce beats. They weren't perfect, of course, but instead of having me stay focused only on making better beats, he pointed out that I was ready to start learning how to turn those ideas into full songs. That really stood out to me because creating a complete song was something I had been nervous to try and was definitely outside of my comfort zone. When our first lesson started, though, Mikhail made me feel comfortable almost immediately. He's patient, knowledgeable, listens to what you're trying to accomplish, and I really like his teaching style. He has a way of throwing you into the deep end, in a good way, so you're actually creating and learning by doing, while still being there to guide you whenever you need help. I came to him wanting to become a better producer, but I already feel like he's helping me think beyond just making beats and toward becoming the kind of artist I actually want to be. I 100% recommend Mikhail to anyone who is serious about taking their music to the next level.
