Difficult content was introduced in a detailed and friendly manner, as if it were a 1:1 private lesson!

This book was written by an author who teaches hobby and professional classes at a MIDI composition academy, based on the curriculum taught in actual lectures and one-on-one lessons.
The table of contents is organized into 10 lessons, so if you study sequentially, your skills will gradually improve.
The content has been structured with careful consideration of the areas students are curious about, especially during class, so study with the mindset of taking a class.
In the theory part, I scribbled notes on a page of the book, and in the practical part, I ran the DAW program and followed along.
Don't skip the homework assignments at the end of each chapter! Let go of your impatience and focus on truly internalizing the book's content. If you learn step by step, you'll become a respectable beatmaker.

It contains an appropriate distribution of theory and practical know-how!

There are probably many people who want to learn only the methods that can be applied immediately in real life.
However, if you don't have a solid foundation in theory, you will quickly reach a limit in your ability to utilize practical know-how.
But if the theory is too lengthy, interest will quickly wane, right? This book covers the essential theory in a solid manner, while also providing ample practical know-how.
The author has generously included information based on the difficulties he encountered while studying on his own, the questions he heard while teaching students, and his own experiences while working on actual music.
It will help you grow into a good producer much more than just acquiring skills quickly in a short period of time.


To help you understand, we've included video QR codes throughout!

For content that is difficult to understand with just pictures and text, we have included QR codes so that you can learn by watching the video.
We will continue to produce videos on YouTube that will be helpful in learning the contents of the book, so please continue to show interest.
I hope that 『Beatmaking 1:1 Lesson』 will be your beatmaking teacher for a long time.
