Thorough teacher and great communicator

Paul is very knowledgeable and works hard to make sure all the bases are covered. He has many years of solid experience in music production, Mac computers and all the music software you could need. I highly recommend him!

Anne, 1 lesson with Paul

Excellent!

Paul is knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the topic. What I especially like is he took the time to research the subject before the lesson, hard to find that today. Highly recommended, A++

George, 1 lesson with Paul

Knowledgeable, personable and fixed my issues!

Paul did a fantastic job helping me connect my synthesizers, Mac M3 and audio interface to Logicpro. Prior to contacting Paul, I spent several frustrating hours tryin to get this done on my own. I should have met with Paul first! I would not hesitate to recommend Paul and would definitely contact him again should I need any help in the future.

Joel, 1 lesson with Paul

Knowlegable and patient tutor.

Paul taught me to navigate my Apple Mac - valuable skills for a lifelong Windows PC user. I also learned Pro Tools skills such as adding various track types, using shortcuts, midi keyboards and drums, Melodyne and editing clips. Paul is patient AND pushes the session along - good pace of learning even when I feel "stuck". Paul follows up from previous sessions and provides information as promised. I have accomplished more in two sessions with Paul than I did in six months of YouTube videos.

Eric, 5 lessons with Paul

Knowledgable, patient, thorough and incredibly helpful

Paul was the perfect solution for us - my teenage son was struggling to get the gist of Pro Tools, he navigated both a technical snag to get the call properly connected, then proceeded to provide an absolutely brilliant session and my son is already working on his first recording. Thanks so much Paul!

PJ, 4 lessons with Paul

Patient, knowledgeable, held my hand every step of the way

Paul was able to cage my monkey Mindy and helped me figure out my iPad situation and since we had time to spare, he also helped me with my camera. He even took the initiative to look up the camera I was using since he wasn't familiar with it and guided me thru everything. LOVE HIM

Jane, 1 lesson with Paul

Worth every cent!

Paul is helping me get up and running on Pro Tools, but he is also helping with related stuff: hardware, software, getting my system operating properly. I have found him knowledgeable about everything. He is also relaxed, friendly, funny, supportive, patient, says when he doesn't know the answer to a question (which rarely happens), efficient, and follows through. Highly recommended!

John, 6 lessons with Paul

Great teacher!

Showed me many different modes/ways to apply what was in the lessons into my recordings. Was a great help.

Michael, 1 lesson with Paul

Paul is marvelously proficient!

I hired Paul for help in organizing and categorizing my random and abstract music collection on a computer which is new to me.. a daunting task for just about anyone. I found Paul to be marvelously proficient. In teaching what he does as he does it, Paul is a rare find; a“double-gifted’ teacher! Instinctive and expeditious, skillful and dedicated. AND We had some fun! The result is an utterly thrilling new personal music library, great playlists which I use everywhere on all devices to work, play, share with friends and relax in all parts of my life. I can’t wait to learn more skills and continue this fabulous process of learning! What an inspiration!

Knows what he's doing and also very good at instructing/explaining

I had a great time with Paul. We hit all my goals with Pro Tools today...i'm so thankful! He's great at explaining how to do things and also why it works a certain way. That helps me remember so I can create on my own without any issues. Really great guy; no problem spending hours on end together (virtually) while I work through the agenda. Thank you, Paul!
