Testimonials for ZOiD's Other Programs:

Kevin Nolan

 

I can’t recommend this course enough if you want to take your music production to the next level and finally finish your tracks. Daniel brings serious expertise and deep knowledge from the worlds of electronic music, jazz, and the psychology of creativity. He delivers it all in a warm and encouraging way, helping you stay focused, build consistent habits, and “put in the reps” to create the music you’re truly capable of.

 

Michael Adaptogenik

 

I’m really happy I signed up for the 10 month program as it pulled together many scattered aspects of my music making and gave me a focus, a community of producers who inspire me and a some accountability so that week to week I improved and I no longer feel stuck and unfocused. I’m very confident that I’ll have some great tracks ready to release by the end of the course.

David Kitt (New Jackson):

 

I did some lessons with ZOiD after seeing his Aphex Twin Analysis videos. He showed me some music theory stuff which was which was really easy to understand and opened up the guitar to me in fun and inspiring ways. can't wait to do more lessons. He's a great teacher - Recommended!

 

Eamonn Doyle (D1 Recordings):

 

“Daniel is an exceptional guitar and music teacher. His ability to connect and relate the lessons across a wide range of genres allows for a very personalised approach. His deep knowledge of guitar techniques and theory helped clarify many things I’d been struggling with for many years, even within the first few lessons. Highly recommended !”

 

Ursuala Meany Scott:

 

I had been wanting to learn more about music production for a while but have always felt put off by the kind of guys promoting courses. This course has been the antidote to all that aggressive noise in the production world. ZOiD is inclusive, honest, quirky, and so generous in sharing his process and experience. I can highly recommend it.'

 

Colin Lawlor (Binomial Tunes):

 

ZOiD is a fantastic tutor and I'd recommend this course to anyone needing guidance or inspiration in terms of generating and developing song ideas or those seeking to improve their production, arrangement and sound design skills. 

 

ZOiD is helpful, enthusiastic, positive, approachable and encouraging. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this course to everyone from first timers to more experienced artists - even chancer hobbyist DIYers like myself! Honestly, if you are even vaguely thinking about doing this course, just go for it - you won't regret it.
