LEARN TO PLAY.LIVE
Professional 1 year education starting in 2025
Start today on your journey to play electronic music live. Become a better DAWless music producer, or take your DAWless/Hybrid music production to the next level.
At LearnToPlay.Live we know what’s needed to succeed at producing and playing live. We’ve successfully helped many talented acts get their feet wet, helped them get ready to play on bigger stages, or structure their sets to sound more fluent, so why not yours too? It doesn’t matter whether you’re just starting, or a seasoned champion that has been around the block. It is about who you are or aspire to be and how you can make a cohesive, convincing performance.
Most of what you will learn is C.I.A. work. The better you follow our lessons, the less the crowd will notice it as the devil is in the details.
Welcome, and thanks for being here. Let’s start and subscribe now!
