After discovering Seed To Stage on Youtube, I found that Anthony's teaching style combined with his sense of humor and enthusiasm for production / sound design made for very engaging lessons.

Ive learned more in the songwriting course in the last month than I could in a couple years of trolling around random youtube videos. Every video has a wealth of information and tips from Anthony!

The way he communicates knowledge is just awesome. I highly recommend the live looping course if you want to squeeze the best out of Ableton Live to improve your shows. It is a 5 star course for sure!

Best in the business. I always learn something new from the channel on Youtube, and investing in the courses was well worth it. A gifted communicator and teacher.

Anthony is a gifted teacher and does a fantastic job of presenting the information about Ableton Live in his own unique style. The courses are very broad in scope and leave no stone unturned.

Anthony's teaching approach gave me a sense of autonomy, creativity and confidence in my music making -- instead of the typical dogmatic approach of blindly following tutorials step-by-step.

The information I get is legit, and the instructor covers everything I’ll need to know about my craft. The lessons are concise and well thought out so I can learn most proficiently.
