McLean Macionis

This course was great. You got to learn how to use ableton live, especially if you have never used a software like this. Weekly easy quizzes that were super quick. A few big projects throughout the semester and it was great!l

This course was incredibly fun and engaging. It centers around how to use Ableton Live in order to create music and most of the work is personal projects to make a piece of music. Mclean is very interested in the subject and very kind and helpful to all of the students.

McLean does a wonderful job accommodating students from all musical backgrounds. He makes lectures interactive and fun alongside show off his skills on the EDM platform, Ableton Live. He gives live tutorials on the application, allowing for the class to understand the concepts being taught on the spot while also leaving room for questions. Weekly album listens and reviews are honestly refreshing and serve as easy points. There are occasional quizzes on vocabulary, but they are beneficial when progressing through the course. Projects, especially in the second half of the semester can get overwhelming, so expect to be going to the lab room to work on compositions outside of class time. I would recommend taking this course!
