Nathan Schram

Grammy winning violist & composer
"Elliot’s Ableton class was an essential milestone in understanding my vision for myself as a musician. He opened the door to a new language of possibilities in a way that few artists can do. If you’re ready to see some new musical light, talk to Elliot."

Jan Esbra

Jazz guitarist & experimental musician
"Every once in a while a breakthrough happens in one's creative practice and when you look back at it you always see it as a moment of deep and important change - Elliot's Ableton course is one of these moments for me. This course literally changed the way I think about and create music. It opened my horizons and expanded my capabilities as a composer by providing detailed groundwork, understanding and creative applications for making music with a DAW. This gave me my first glimpse and the tools needed to dive into the endless possibilities allowed by this medium. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in music technology, recording or composing."
Elliot is the teacher I spent my entire adult life wishing I had found in college. Kind, prodigiously knowledgeable, and brimming with a childlike curiosity that is as endearing, as it is infectious, he is that rare unicorn that guides me through the most rigorous and intimidating subject matter just to leave me buzzing and re-energized after a lesson. Before I met Elliot, I felt totally stuck as a musician, unsure if I’d ever have the guts to try and compose again in my 40’s. My lessons with Elliot helped me dream again, and now I wake up every morning looking forward to what the future holds.

I have taken several of Elliot’s courses in music production, where I became familiar with using different software and hardware in the music creation process. Learning these tools has helped me explore musical ideas in new ways and create atmospheres that I wouldn’t be able to do with instruments alone.

Elliot's class was an amazing head start in my Ableton and music composition journey. After wasting a bunch of time (and money) being unsuccessful with paid plugins, attending Elliot's class was the best investment in my music career. His ability to break down complex topics, with examples, really helped me understand not only the "what's" but the "why's" of music production.
