Are you interested in advancing your production skills and creating your own signature sound? Most beginner producers have great taste and the drive to create, but are lacking the expert guidance needed to reach their goals. I'm here to help you get there.

My name is Matan, and I tutor songwriting / production / mix and everything in between. I have more than 10 years of experience using DAWs (e.g. Logic Pro, Ableton Live) to make EDM, rock, indie pop, hip hop, and trap records. I've also been playing guitar, bass, drums, synthesizers, and singing for over 15 years. I graduated with a BA from Wesleyan University (Phi Beta Kappa) in Auditory Neuroscience, during which I explored the relationship between music perception and emotion.

In my career, I've...

- Garnered over 40 million streams across streaming platforms, and have been featured on influential Spotify (e.g. New Noise, Alternative Beats, Indie Pop, New Music Friday) and Apple Music (Global Dance, Breaking Dance)

- Released on some of the most influential and far-reaching independent dance labels (i.e. Spinnin, Big Noise, Suicide Sheep, Trap Nation)

- Reached Number 2 on Hype Machine charts, and have been featured on a variety of influential blogs including Billboard, Dancing Astronaut, Consequence of Sound, EDM.com, and many more.

- Created custom tracks for major international brands (Amstel, Pepsi, Air New Zealand), been synchronized in major network television (MTV, CW), and created original music for a Disney feature-length film.

My lessons are project-based and I approach each student with a unique perspective based on goals.Please reach out with any questions - I'm happy to help you with any project, big or small.

I’m so grateful!

I’ve been working with Matan for 3 months and he’s been a gift to my creative journey. From day one, he took the time to understand what I was looking to accomplish to help me with my mission. He’s knowledgeable, patient, and professional. I’ve re-watched some of our recorded lessons, and I’m continually impressed how he manages to listen to all of my many ideas. I’m a visual learner and he draws out concepts over Zoom for me to better grasp and understand elements of songwriting, guitar technique, and performance. He fixed guitar picking problems I was struggling with for 3 years, within 1 lesson. I recently started working with him twice a week, instead of once a week, because I value his feedback and he’s truly worth it! If you want a teacher committed to your progress, don’t look any further!

Industry Expert with Great Tutoring and Teaching Skills

Matan provided in depth, experienced DAW (FL Studio) review of my son’s song to point out strengths and weaknesses of its structure and sound. He helped clean up the sound and explain the dynamics of why or why not it was working. I really appreciated his instructional approach and mentorship as it kept the energy positive and constructive. He worked with the screen sharing and audio capabilities really well to provide clear descriptions and instruction. Matan is a solid and experienced instructor.

Excellent Support And Guidance

Matan helped me get more comfortable with Ableton. He gave me good leads on microphones to purchase to get the best sound. He also shared some lessons from 15 years in the music industry. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience. I felt that he really cared about me and the music I was creating. I would highly recommend Matan as a teacher and guide in music production.

10/10 teacher

I’ve been taking music production lessons from Matan for several months. He knows his stuff and knows how to teach it. Realest music production teacher in the game.

Encouraging and Exciting

This was only my first lesson, and we covered a ton of ground in Ableton. His teaching style is laid back and enthusiastic. He knows a ton about music from all different angles and all about mixing - which is where I'm headed. I'm excited to dive right into my project in order to learn the ins and outs of mashups and music production. I'm looking forward to learning more.

Matan was great!

He first took the time to understand where I was at and then built out a program to help me achieve my goals. Looking forward to working with Matan more so I can figure out how to produce on Ableton.

Extremely knowledgable!

I have been using Logic Pro X for years -- but basically under using it, because I haven't understood all its features. Matan is helping me gain the knowledge I need to use LPX to its fullest potential. I highly recommend Matan as a tutor!

Amazing teacher!

Matan’s music production classes have been so informative and fun. He’s very patient, and has the answers to all my (million) questions. I’m looking forward to bringing my music to the next level!

Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful tutor

I had a unique request for Matan, but he really stepped up and delivered on everything I needed help with. While I was nervous due to having zero singing background, he made the experience fun and enjoyable. Matan was extremely friendly and professional throughout and has a good sense of humor! I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for assistance with songwriting/vocal tips.

Matan is incredibly smart and knowledgable about music software, production, and theory. He helps me understand by using metaphors that are entertaining and precise. I would highly recommend Matan!!
