Teaching – Stepan Chervyakov

I have over 20 years of experience in music production, working in the studio, performing live at different venues and preparing for them, and I am happy to share this experience and my knowledge. I teach both audio and video. The training can take place online or in person if you’re nearby.

I also recently completed additional training on the SoundGym.co platform, having received “outstanding results”, confirmed by their certificate. This allowed me to close all the theoretical and practical shortcomings both in the main areas of sound production and in related ones.

I teach both in person and online, both 1 on 1 and in group classes. To find out more – send me a message. The best way to contact me is on VK or Telegram.

Stepan is without a doubt a pro in his field, but it is much more important that he is able to clearly and easily explain even the most complex topic. Quickly and reasonably helped to select and set up software for creating music, showed its main features and life hacks. He outlined the main mistakes of novice musicians and suggested further points of growth. I advise everyone!
