I like to start by seeing what level the student is at, whether they have experience already or are just starting out recording/singing. From there I like to focus in on their weak spots and put together a lesson plan tailored to their personal needs. For vocals I like to focus on proper warmup and breath control exercises and then move into intonation and tone. I love using scales and the circle of 5ths to help students better understand music theory and how chords and notes fit together.

For recording and creating full tracks/beats I usually will do a rundown of the basic functions of Ableton Live and how to navigate the basic plugins needed to record and create a single track using samples or instruments. From there we will gradually work up to creating a full track using sound design and recording techniques, then move into mixing and mastering.
