Let's figure out exactly what you need to make the music you want to make.

Feeling confident in your ability to make music in your DAW isn’t about finding secrets.

It’s about studying the fundamentals underneath your favorite music, practicing those same skills yourself, and finishing tracks along the way - getting better with each one.

That’s exactly what private lessons are all about.

Together we will:

1. Analyze your favorite music.

2. Apply what we learn in real-time, fixing and finishing your tracks together.

3. Create customized practice routines to develop your highest-impact skills.

Each week you will hear your music evolve, feel your confidence grow, and push real tracks towards the finish line.

We also have deep discussions about your goals. This keeps everything aligned with a bigger vision, building natural momentum in both your music and life.

It's about your holistic growth as a composer, producer and human being.

You'll have my 15+ years of experience at your side: as an award-winning independent artist, commercial composer with thousands of placements, and educator who's helped hundreds before you.

Many students tell me lessons feel like their "personal music school" - seeing more progress from our sessions than years of YouTube, college courses, or expensive "big promise" programs. 

I offer free consultations to create a customized “Massive Momentum Plan” and see if we’d be a fit.

Some results

I have hosted over 2,000 private lessons with hundreds of producers. Here is a small selection of some results and feedback.

NIKOLAS:

Electronic producer who felt stuck in his tracks or knowing next steps after finishing them.

During sessions we focused on workflows to finish & self-master songs, then how to position his music for the production music industry. 

In a few months together finished 12 songs.

Used those songs to get accepted into a Music Library - earning him immediate income, and creating his first music royalty stream.

OMAR:

Electronic and hip hop influenced producer interested in getting into music for media. Trained him in the fundamentals, and gave him new workflows to use.

During our time he finished 5 new tracks in the time it used to take him to finish one. 

Short after was accepted into multiple music libraries and is landing placements, including Major League Baseball, CBS Sports and Fortnite.

JOE:

A professional pianist who wanted to learn more about producing music, especially for video games.

Gave him new workflows to finish music, and helped music become something he could do every day.

Consulted him on how to earn income through custom work, and creating packs for video game marketplaces.

He has since done work for several games, and has won recognition for his high selling game packs on Unity Marketplace.

PEPPY:

An electronic producer who wanted to learn more about music theory for EDM songwriing.

Anaylzed where he was stuck, then helped him get confident in his writing in 8 weeks. This gave him new inspiration and skills which helped him finish tracks consistently again.

Today he has multiple tracks signed with 100,000’s of plays.

JAY:

An accomplished songwriter who wanted to learn how to produce music, especially for television & media.

During sessions we focused on composition fundamentals, and how to finish songs. He even got a sports placement with one of the tracks we finished during sessions.

We would also discuss finding your spot in the industry through self reflection.

MATT:

A more established producer who wanted to understand more about how to create music for licensing placements so he could build a long-term royalty-based income.

After just a few weeks finished 5 new songs using the guidelines I gave him. Shortly after was picked up by a library.

In Matt's words:

"My private coaching sessions with Avery have been extremely valuable to my understanding of how to structure music for licensing uses and how to begin the process of pitching my music for placement.

Avery's vast knowledge of theory, composition, production and sound design for numerous genres allowed him to help me focus in on my strengths as a producer while also improving my weaknesses.

I now feel very confident in my ability to quickly create professional-quality tracks in multiple different licensing formats. If you're ready to get serious about your production & business skills, Avery will absolutely help you take your music to the next level."

DANIEL:

Wanted to improve his musicianship as a composer & producer so he could get more in control of his music for both clients & music placements.

Now finishing music consistently that is directly being funneled into libraries & positioned for consistent placements.

In Daniel's words:

“I reached out to Avery to enhance my composition skills for TV & studio clients. He helped me develop my composing & arranging techniques to write broadcast quality tracks.

I’m currently providing original music for music libraries with placements on NBC, MLB, and E!, and producing 2-3 projects a week for my studio clients. My clients love what we are creating, and routinely contact me for more work!

Working with Avery was the best decision I’ve made as a producer - he’s my music industry “coach”, and I’d recommend him to anyone looking to lead a professional music career.”

MARY:

Wanted to feel more confident in production so she could submit her music to opportunities & license them. Now she has finished many new songs and landed multiple placements on television.

JON:

Helped audit his tracks & give guidance on how to produce and submit music to Stock Music & Libraries.

Now consistently landing placements & writing for publishers.

Justin:

From confused about how to finish professional tracks or attract clients to building an impressive demo reel & landing his first paying music client.

“Working with you was the missing piece. I now have more fun, and feel confident in my production & career direction. This was more impactful than my entire college experience, and a hell of a lot cheaper. I gained more momentum in 2 months than in my previous years.”

Justin is a 10+ year musician and composer. Before working with me, he felt overwhelmed and confused about how to finally take his productions to a professional level, and how to attract client work. Specifically, he wanted to compose for video games.

After only a few months of working together, he is now finishing songs consistently, building an impressive demo reel, posting on social media in a way that will attract clients, and has even landed his first paid gig!

RICKY:

Felt completely out of control in music but knew it was a passion he wanted to take seriously.

Together we helped him massively improve his mindset and production skills until he began finishing beats consistently.

Eventually he met with Illmind who complimented his melodies.

Today he is producing for artists and finishing songs consistently to positive feedback from clients & the music industry.

BEN:

Came to me as an early intermediate producer who wanted to make dramatic improvements and become a track finishing machine, able to play his songs out in his DJ sets.

Together we gave him the accountability and feedback he needed to make all of this happen.

He finished 30 songs during our time together, began playing them out at clubs, and even had The Chainsmokers send him a private video asking to hear more of his music.

Today he is growing his professional career as a DJ, producer, and is getting positive feedback from crowds and professionals.

ANDREW:

A talented producer who came to me wanting to take the step to build more confidence in the professional world as a producer. Now he's gotten tracks signed to a library and has his first placement.

In his own words, here were our results:

"When I started with Avery, I'd put together a couple good songs but I really struggled with finishing things consistently and getting everything to a professional level.  So I had two goals for my time with Avery: 1. I wanted to be able to quickly and consistently finish professional quality music, and 2. I wanted to start learning more about how to get involved with the sync world - as it was something I had absolutely no idea where to start.

Avery took the time to really dig in, ask a lot of questions, and understand these goals and put together a plan of how to achieve them.  He spent as much time needed to make sure that we covered everything, that I had all of my questions answered, and really breaking down how to do everything step by step.

During my time with Avery, I was able to put together a collection of high quality songs to start pitching to libraries, which have since been accepted and released.  I also completed a remix for a contest I wanted to enter, which was done based on prior feedback received from Avery.  That remix ended up winning the contest and getting a label release as well.

Thanks to my time with Avery, I now have the ability (and just as importantly, the confidence) to continue with the roadmap we created to keep putting together and pitching professional quality music, both for libraries, and as an artist."
