About
Hi! I’m Alejandro. I am a California native with a passion for teaching and helping anyone who is interested in understanding what audio is and the many ways you can create and interpret sound.
I t... each all area’s of audio production with a specialization in music recording, live sound, field recording and audio for video. My favorite part of tutoring is helping students understand the ins and outs of audio production.
Outside of tutoring, I spend my time outdoors, recording ambient sounds (field recording), playing guitar and bass, hiking, taking pictures and travelling/getting to know knew places.
Happy to answer any questions :)read more
