1:1 lessons at Tonstudio Leipzig for hobby producers and private learners.
Learn a technique properly,
Learn a technique properly,
in one fixed 3-hour session.
The beat that finally gets finished. The mix that stops sounding random. The song that is missing its structure. At Tonstudio Leipzig you learn that in a focused way, in a fixed session from 3 hours.
From 3 hours
a fixed session, no short lessons
Fixed price
270 euros, like a workshop
A real studio
instead of a classic music school room
Three topics
producing, songwriting, mixing
Lessons in a real studio, not a classroom.
Classic music lessons often happen in the teacher's living room. At Tonstudio Leipzig you learn on real equipment: the microphone, the studio monitors, the DAW that professional music is made with too.
The standard is one to one, you alone with me, a fixed session from 3 hours, no subscription. On site at Bernhard-Göring-Straße.
Topics: producing and beat making, songwriting, or mixing. Also popular as a gift voucher. Not sure what fits you? Book the initial consultation in the studio shop.
Topics
Three topics, each a fixed 3-hour session.
Three areas, one topic per session. For more, you simply book another session.
Lyrics, melody, structure, building tension
For anyone writing their own songs but always getting stuck at the same point: the bridge is missing, the words feel scattered, the chorus does not land. You learn rhyme structure, song structure and imagery, on your own song.
Balance, EQ, compression, the stereo image
For anyone who wants to learn mixing systematically instead of just watching tutorials. You learn level balancing, EQ, compression and the stereo image, using your own mix project as practice material.
Price
One fixed price, exactly like a workshop.
A session from 3 hours, one topic, one price. No discount block, no tiers.
From 3 hours
One session, one topic, 270 euros
One topic, one session from 3 hours, enough time for real progress, no contract.
Lessons at the studio
Two things that make these lessons different from a music school.
No teacher's living room, no standard keyboard, no plain classroom. Two things make the difference at the studio.
Where you learn is where you record
You learn on the same equipment where your real recording will be made later, not in a separate practice room.
Your own plan, not a fixed syllabus
No fixed textbook: the plan follows your goal and can be adjusted at any time.
That's the difference between a session you have to attend and one you look forward to.
Preparation
How to get the most out of your session.
Good preparation is less about material and more about expectations. Three points help with that.
1
Naming your goal
What do you want to learn in these 3 hours?
Finishing a beat, solving a song structure, or building a mix: the more concrete the goal, the more you get out of the session.
2
Previous experience
Where are you now, what have you already tried?
Briefly describe whether you are a complete beginner or already have your own attempts. That sets the pace and the content.
3
Your own material
Bring your own beats, lyrics or mix projects
Bring a beat, some lyrics, or a mix project you are working on.
How a session runs
How your session actually goes.
So that you know what to expect, four calm steps from the first enquiry to the finished session.

03
The session itself
The full 3 hours focused on your topic, with your own material.

Frequent questions
Questions about lessons at Tonstudio Leipzig.
Here you find the most important answers before you enquire about your session. If your question is not here, a short message is enough, I answer the same day with an honest assessment.
For hobby producers, singer-songwriters and private learners who want to learn a specific technique, beat making, songwriting or mixing.
The standard is one to one, you alone with me at the studio.
A workshop works on your own project, recording, mixing or production.
Lessons teach a technique or a skill independent of a specific project, for example how you build a beat in your DAW or structure a mix.
Both are a fixed session from 3 hours, both at the same price.
3 hours is enough time to really learn a topic, with explanation, trying things yourself and feedback.
I deliberately do not offer shorter sessions.
Three areas: producing and beat making, songwriting, mixing.
A session can also combine several topics if that makes sense.
From 270 euros, a fixed price for a session from 3 hours, exactly like a workshop.
No discount block, no tiers, one session, one price.
Want to carry on, you simply book another session.
Yes, and it is very welcome. A beat that does not sound right yet, lyrics that are stuck, a current mix project, bring whatever you are working on.
That is where the lessons make the most sense, not with textbook examples.
The session can be moved up to 24 hours beforehand, and I find a replacement slot together with you.
If you cancel on the day itself, the session is used up, because the slot can no longer be given to anyone else.
