Comfortable environment and clear feedback
Participants communicate in a telegram chat, where you share your impressions and inspire each other. And I, in turn, also take an active part, share interesting information and help with advice.
Any headphones are suitable, but I would recommend something like beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro to better hear all the intricacies of mixing
Desire
Without motivation, this course will be meaningless. If there is a desire and a light inside, then you will succeed!

STUDENTS' FEEDBACK
Passed an individual course. Very happy with the classes and results. Katarina Gryvul helped to gather fragmentary and chaotic knowledge from my head into a single system. Easily adapts to individual student requests. Always in touch and will always tell you how. Great course, teacher, and person. I recommend.
Alexey Ilyenko
In 2019 I took a course in music theory taught by Katya. I was very pleased. In addition to theory, Katya gave advice on tracks and advised cool plugins for Ableton, which helped me a lot. I saw that Katya was starting her course in music production, and signed up without hesitation in the first set. I really liked the construction of the course. We started with the simplest and finished the course with ready-made tracks. Presentations for lessons are a separate kind of art, where the most difficult topics were explained in a very accessible way. After the course, writing my tracks became much easier and faster, and I finally started to like how they sound. I recommend.

For those who are looking for inspiration, motivation, and technical skills to realize their unbridled creative potential ;) for those who ALREADY consider themselves as cool musicians and for those who seek to understand all this magic :) I recommend not wasting time searching for the truth in the middle of an unnecessary information field, but to turn to a person who has a systematic approach to teaching, and most importantly vast experience in both academic and experimental areas, the acquired knowledge can be used to create your own creative tracks, and for commercials.
Volodymyr Yefimchuk
Passed the course Music production, I highly recommend it! Lots of theory and practice. Katarina has a non-standard approach both in her music and in teaching, she invests 100% in the lessons, motivates, sincerely shares her experience, and cares about the results of students! In addition to thematic knowledge and exercises, you can also learn a lot of interesting and useful things about the history of modern music, business, and trends!
Anastasia Yalovega
Very pleased with the result of my classes at Gryvul School. Professional and creative approach to learning. The created individual program exceeded my expectations. Katarina Gryvul is a wonderful, caring teacher. She cares about the result, helps to identify growth areas, and works them out. Always in touch. Thanks!
Ruslan Viter
I finished 8 years of music school. I also had experience playing several different instruments. But only after the Gryvul School course did I understand what music is in general and started to feel like a musician. Katarina is a wonderful responsive teacher with a unique program. She teaches not only dry "mathematical" theory but also shows how to embody the worldview in the form of sounds. I am very grateful to Katarina for her knowledge and time. I recommend the school to people even with basic music education. Believe me, school solfeggio can be understood and used!
