HERE’S WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING…
“Dan has such a vast amount of knowledge on Ableton Live and is able to produce amazing music in a quick, intuitive, and thoughtful way. There isn’t anything I’ve thrown at him that he hasn’t been able to guide me on, even showing me things that I did not know were possible. He’s energetic and passionate about teaching and unlocks the creative potential in his students.”
— Graham The Empire (Producer/ Performer)
“I was more than blown away with everything i learned… I had no musical background prior. I feel like I got a foundation to start my music production career….I can hit up producers with any questions I have and always get an answer or suggestion to help me out.”
— Tyler Williams (Producer)
“I can’t recommend Dan Giffin enough, he is an excellent Ableton instructor. In a short amount of time he helped me gain a stronger grasp of Ableton’s inner workings, refine my sound design and develop a more efficient work flow.”
