About Steven

Hi there! My name is Steven Wesson. I'm a producer and composer with six years of experience creating and performing my own music. My original music has over half a million streams online and is placed in music libraries for commercial use. I use Ableton Live to produce electronic music.

About the lesson

Learning to make music is a long and challenging journey, but I'm here to guide you along the way and make the process as joyful as possible.

Typically, I look at students' projects with them and show them places they can improve or develop their ideas. As I find gaps in students' skills and knowledge, I teach them what they need to know to keep their creative process moving.

We'll start out by making sure you know the basics of your DAW and have the right equipment. If not, I can guide you through getting your software and hardware set up. Then I'll give you a foundational knowledge of sound design, music theory, arrangement, and mixing. This will be your launchpad into making your own music.

Once you know the basics and are in a rhythm of finishing music, I'll get you started promoting your music so it gets heard. You'll learn the method of promoting to YouTube channels, content creators, and Spotify playlists I used to amass hundreds of thousands of streams.

With my help, you'll be making the music of your dreams before you know it!'

Perfect! I’ve been taking music production classes with Steven since the beginning of the year and I can’t recommend him enough. His flexible teaching style has helped me build so much confidence in my work. Some days we dive into personal projects and other days we explore new areas within Ableton, making every lesson both productive and inspiring.

What really sets Steven apart is his dedication. He took the time to learn the style of music I want to produce and even reconstructed songs that inspire me to help me better understand their structure. His passion for music is undeniable and his chill friendly vibe makes every session enjoyable. If you’re looking for an instructor who truly cares about your growth and makes learning feel natural, Steven is the one.

I've been taking lessons with Steven for several weeks now and the valuable insight he has given me through my production journey has been priceless! Regardless of what genre of EDM or even music you may be into, Steven is an amazing all around producer and is extremely knowledgeable across all fields of music. I would most certainly recommend him for production lessons and more.

From past couple of months, steven has helped me a lot in music production especially in sound design and mixing, I was a novice in music production and was not familiar with the electronic genre at all, but now I can see and hear the difference between tracks I made months ago and the tracks I make now with steven, he explains everything patiently and overall he is a brilliant teacher!
