With over a decade of professional experience in the music industry and formal education from Musicians Institute and SAE, I offer a well-rounded approach to songwriting and music production. At Musicians Institute, I honed my skills in music theory, composition, and production, while my time at SAE provided me with a solid technical foundation in audio engineering and sound design. This combination of education and hands-on experience allows me to teach songwriting and music production in a comprehensive way that covers both the creative and technical aspects of the craft.

I’ve worked with a diverse range of artists and have taught individuals from all levels—beginners looking to explore their musical voice and experienced musicians seeking to refine their songwriting. My teaching methods are personalized and practical, breaking down the songwriting process into manageable steps. I emphasize lyric writing, melody creation, and song structure, while also helping students find their unique voice and style.

My teaching experience spans from one-on-one lessons to group settings, where I’ve mentored young artists and helped them develop their skills. I combine industry insights with formal education, ensuring that my students receive both the creative and technical tools they need to succeed in songwriting. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your skills to the next level, I’m committed to helping you achieve your musical goals.

Easy to understand

Whenever I have any questions on a specific topic, Idrise not only answers the question, but informs me on anything connected to it as well! That makes it a lot easier to see the whole picture for me, which is satisfying.

Singing Coach

My singing coach is incredibly patient and supportive. He creates a judgment-free environment that makes it easy to relax and actually enjoy the learning process. I felt comfortable messing up without feeling insecure, which is such a big deal for me. His calm and encouraging style really helped me feel more confident in my voice from the start.

Knowledgeable and down-to-earth Teacher

I have only had a few lessons so far, and I'm very satisfied with how easily he explains things. When I asked for advice on belting safely, he gave me the perfect exercise and explained why it works! Looking forward to more lessons.

professional competent and with much courtesy!

Awesome! Idrise! Very accurate in his ability to assess what I needed to work on. He gave me exercises to work on that target my issues. He was very competent and supportive and encouraging, key for risk taking and trying out new ideas in session. He met me where I am professionally, we can speak the same language. Would recommend without hesitation, just don't take my spot!
