Hi! I'm Craig, better know as DJ Graish. I’ve been using Ableton Live since 2008. Like most beginners, I started out feeling completely overwhelmed by the software! Over the years, I developed a fast, clear workflow and a deep understanding of how Ableton really works. I now run a YouTube channel and through my tutorials and private classes I've taught thousands of producers how to make music in Ableton Live.  I’ve learned exactly where students get stuck, and how to guide them through with clarity and structure. This course is built from that experience. My goal is simple: to remove confusion and help you confidently create and finish your own music in Ableton Live.

Student Reviews

Here are a few testimonials from students that I've worked with

”
Craig got me over the complexity of Ableton Live and taught me the fundamentals. Getting my ideas down, learning the basics of sound design, and making things simple. I was able to start creating my own sounds during the first hour and actually learned something I could use in my own projects by the time we were done.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Craig as my Ableton Live tutor, and I can't recommend him highly enough! Starting from the very basics—where I was fumbling through the interface and simple beat-making—he patiently guided me step by step, making complex concepts feel approachable and fun. As we progressed to Ableton Live Suite, Craig's expertise truly shone; he unlocked advanced features like warping techniques, and creative sound design that transformed my music production skills overnight. What sets Craig apart is his tailored approach—he adapts to your pace, answers every question with clarity, and sprinkles in real-world tips that go beyond the software. His sessions are engaging, insightful, and always leave you inspired to create more. If you're looking to level up in Ableton, book a tutorial with Craig—you won't regret it!

I wasn't 100% sure about taking a course or taking private lessons and I've actually done both with Craig, and I will tell you, it has levelled up my production game by quite a bit. So if you have any doubts whatsoever, definitely check it out. It is well worth the money invested.
