WELCOME TO BE HEARD LESSONS
Hello. My name is Damon.
I'm a recording artist and private instructor in San Diego, CA / Scottsdale, AZ.
I've been producing music for 20+ years, having songs released for 15+ years, and...
For over 12 YEARS, I've been helping others to create their own music, in PRIVATE LESSONS.
I can teach YOU how to turn your ideas into songs!

GET PRIVATE, 1-ON-1 TRAINING
RECEIVE HELP DIRECTLY ON YOUR MUSIC
I work with people of all ages (from 7 years old to 80+) to help them understand the song-creation process. My students work in all different styles & genres of music and come from all levels of experience (from complete beginners to touring professionals).
We can build off of your existing knowledge and ability (wherever you are in your development) and work together in personalized sessions to move in the direction YOU are interested in going.
Start NOW! Pay LATER -

LEARN WHAT YOU WANT, AT YOUR PACE
WORK IN YOUR HOME OR STUDIO
I have currently worked with 275 people from across the US - all individually, in private, 1-on-1 lessons.
​​
The sessions are done online via Zoom (...I've been teaching remotely, online since 2014). Students share their screen and audio, so we both see & hear their projects as we work through them together.
This is NOT an
"online course" of
do-it-yourself videos.
...or an AI clone
that you have to coax
the right info out of.
This is LIVE, PERSONALIZED,
music-production
training!
PRIVATE LESSONS -
SAVE YOU TIME,
SPARE YOU FRUSTRATION,
AND GET YOU RESULTS - FAST!
IMAGINE...
​
The next time you want to…
capture a new song idea,
record your latest performance,
or create a certain atmosphere and energy for your lyrics...
​
You sit in front of your software, and... YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!
​
With private training, I can teach you how to:
- move around your DAW (recording programs) like it’s second nature
- develop musical fragments into rhythms, harmonies, and melodies
- structure arrangements​ with narrative verses and emotive choruses,
...big builds, heavy drops, and lush breakdowns
- record and edit strong takes & comps
- process and refine your sounds to be polished & clean (...or rough & dirty, if that's the vibe)
- sculpt mixes with clarity, weight, and power
- finesse strong masters that take listeners on your musical journey​
THE PROCESS CAN BE
MUCH EASIER - WITH GUIDANCE!
I have literally done more than 7,500 hours of direct, one-on-one, custom training with my students.
...that’s SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED hours.
​
I have a LOT of experience observing what works and helps people - of all different backgrounds.
​
Numerous students have told me that they used to feel like they simply weren’t capable -
didn't have what it takes, didn't think it’s possible for them...
​​​
Several have shared that, even though they went to big-name, music schools and had studied these concepts for years, they didn't really understand it.
​
I've even had a few admit​ to me that they used to believe they had a learning disorder.
…doubting themselves until they were reduced into allowing that to be their reality.
​
But guess what… none of that’s true!
​
I ROUTINELY help people, and I can help you too!!
Get unstuck and start having FUN!
Understand the process and instantly hear RESULTS.
Learn how to create and FINALLY be able to EXPRESS YOURSELF!
IT HAS WORKED FOR MANY...
​
...AND YES!!
IT CAN WORK FOR YOU, TOO!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE
I think the reason the lessons are so effective is due to the nature of the training - PERSONALIZED!
​
​Unlike a school program -
where you’re committed to a curriculum with a specific list of subjects…
or a group or community setting -
where the time & attention is divided among many people, and you have to fight for your piece…
or tutorial videos, ebooks, or PDFs, with -
the unknown amount of TIME spent HUNTING for the right answer,
the uncertainty of knowing if you’re even on the right track,
the obligation of needing to apply it to your own situation - by yourself, AND
the frustration when it’s STILL not working…
​
or an AI assistant -
which certainly has access to ALL the available information out there, but...
can't offer personal creative insights or contribute specific stylistic experience,
won't read and interpret your emotional needs and challenges in the process, and
may not understand your unique artistic vision and desires - there's no accounting for taste.
​​
Instead…
If you are stuck on something, want to learn a certain topic, or don't know the next step...
​
I JUST SHOW YOU!
​
All those resources have their place and their strengths.
But none of them are the same as actually TALKING to someone about your creations!
​​
I can walk WITH you and guide you along each step of the process.
Is something unclear?
Wish you had a deeper understanding on something?
Interested in exploring a new topic - concept, technique, application?
Then we’ll talk about it until you GET IT!
We do it all TOGETHER.
There’s no guesswork, no figuring it out on your own, no wondering what to focus on next.
We work on EXACTLY what you want to learn, and I help you create the music that YOU want to make!
​​​
And the best part - you could do all this RIGHT NOW!!​
DON'T WASTE MORE TIME OR ENERGY!
Check it out!
You can listen to a handful of songs from my students in my video above.
And you can hear from them directly about their experience with the lessons.
