Lessons use Auwen, a livecoding DAW that runs on a command line interface. No music theory background needed, no experience with a terminal needed either. More info: auwen.app
How it works: one-on-one lessons over voice/video in the Auwen Discord. Pick a plan, and pick a recurring weekly time slot.
Single Lesson - $100. Try one lesson, no ongoing commitment.
Weekly Plan - $70/lesson. 4 lessons a month at a fixed weekly time, includes Auwen Pro while enrolled.
Founding Cohort - $55/lesson. Locked-in rate for the first 5 students, for as long as you stay enrolled. Gone once those 5 spots fill.
FAQ:
Do I need experience? Nope! Complete beginners in music and coding are welcome.
How difficult is it? The learning curve is roughly 1 lesson to start making beats, 3 lessons to make a full song, and 5-6 lessons to be performance ready. After that it is about gradual iterative improvement.
What happens after I book? You'll get a confirmation with your day and time then download the Discord desktop app, grab headphones and a mic, say hi in the lessons channel before your first lesson.
Can I cancel or reschedule? Yes, anytime, from your booking page.
