I am Sabina Covarrubias PhD, an independent experienced composer and muti-media artist. I do love teaching one-to-one, interacting with people because I know that this is the only way to transmit certains aspects of a "know-how".

About my fee
Usually the cost for each private lesson is 70 euros + bank or PayPal deposit fee, but if this is now difficult for you, please let me know and I can be flexible, and modify this fee until we both feel comfortable. For me, it is very important that the student does not feel financial stress.
Please let me know what you think about this, I would like to hear what is the project that you want to build.

How many lessons will I need to learn how to use Jitter?It depends on your learning pace and your previous experience with Max. For a beginner a total of 10 to 12 hours of lessons are necessary to acquire the basic knowledge. To become an intermediate user, an additional 10 to 12 hours will be needed. After this, you will have the ability to learn and solve most of the problems you encounter in a self-taught manner. I recommend one semester of study and practice for intermediate level and one year of study and practice for advanced level.

What material do I need for the classes?We can work with Max Standalone or Max for Live or learn to use both in class. It will depend on what you want to learn.

About my principles
Each student is a universe to discover, his way of learning, the projects that motivate him, and his artistic aspirations. My mission as a teacher is to understand the student's needs and motivations, and then, to facilitate his path so that he can accomplish concrete and meaningful projects in an enjoyable way. The creative person who works with technology can feel frustrated at the beginning, that is why my mission is also to lessen the stress load of beginners, simplifying the process of approaching computer tools in the creative process. I teach with ♡ : I love art and I consider that the world needs more of it. I believe that by teaching how to create music and visuals, I contribute to increase the amount of art in this world. Therefore, I teach my students to produce pieces that are important to them and that they show to the public.
Save your place
You can contact me and ask if I have available places.
You can also save your place by paying lessons in advance.
I usually have few places available because I like to give each student high quality classes and because I also do my work as an artist. So I carefully select my students and give priority to those who show motivation and commitment.
