Transformative Experience I worked with Tim Maryon through Soundfly. While it may sound trite and disingenuous, it was truly a game changer. Prior to my work with Tim, I felt as though I was aimlessly puttering around, stuck in musical purgatory. I didn't lack ambition, but I lacked practical guidance that would allow me to form an actionable game plan both in the short and long term. I now feel as though I create with purpose, that I'm no longer bogged down by what I once felt my limitations were, and that the demystification of the process has lifted my creative paralysis. Thank you for all that you've done Tim, it was an absolute pleasure working with you.

Soundfly is like Nitro for your learning music production journey Soundfly is a great way to accelerate your learning journey. They really have great comprehensive courses and an excellent One on One mentorship program where you get direct input from an experienced mentor who helps you accomplish your goals. It's best to have one or two well defined goals vs trying to learn a whole bunch in a month. You get at least 4 weekly sessions - these fly by if you are not focused. Best to go deep than wide. My mentor was awesome Joseph - but I had too many goals I think. I learned alot, but will adjust my goals next time. Why not 5 stars? I would suggest that the goal outlines and clear success metrics should be discussed even more before starting... my fault, but Soundfly could integrate this into the onboarding process. I'm probably a little unfair to them as every student is different. But 4 1 hour sessions can only do so much - better to get really focused. Otherwise they are real, honest, professional and nice people... and a great slack community! Honestly try it - great content, community, value for money. It's better than just some monthly video course... its direct, live and specific to your needs, and your learning stage. You will love the progress you make with Soundfly.

The courses are excellent The courses are excellent, but I can't recommend enough the chance to work with an industry professional mentor on your chosen subject. It's light years beyond digging around on YouTube for free content that may or may not have been posted for views rather than actual usefulness. Very happy.

New perspectives to song writing and production I did a 4 week mentorship with Ian Prince. I brought a few song drafts to our intro session and we narrowed down to one track to focus on for the duration of the mentorship. What an absolute joy it was having him as a teacher. He provided such wisdom, insight, and actionable feedback, and opened my ears and mind to new ways of approaching structure, writing, production, and sonic depth. He guided me through the tools with a very hands-on approach, demoing/screensharing stuff live, and even helped me with specific elements by singing or improving instrumentation examples over my existing tracks. The specificity and concrete demos really helped me understand what he was talking about, in addition to his clear communication even about more abstract elements and concepts. He was so approachable and incredibly generous with his time, and I truly felt inspired throughout the process.

Incredible 6 weeks mentorship with Lavender Looi I had a 6 week mentorship with Lavender Looi. She was absolutely incredible. She is very experienced and professional. She has a vision and a strong sense in music production. Listening to her thought process alone was very helpful. We worked on a new song and fixing an old song that i did previously. She was really nice and she answered all my questions during our calls or per email. Her focus was to help me and answer all my questions even if we exceeded the 45 mins call time. Every week we had a call. During the call, she gave me feedback on what i did the previous week in my songs and answered all my questions and the obstacles i faced and shows me how to do things or sent me absolutely helpful videos. At the end of each call she gave me a homework to work on some parts of the 2 songs. I learned a lot about music production from her. Before this program i was lost and was orienting myself to the youtube videos but she gave me a sense of direction and validated what i was doing right and gave me feedback how to improve other things. She gave me a lot of tips and helped understand the reason for many decisions i take during the music production process. I am absolutely grateful for this experience. Maybe as a hint, a weekly call can a bit stressful for someone who works on the side, but it is doable and i also used the 2 break weeks to do more progress in my songs.
