After two months of mentoring my son in Logic instruction, music production and most importantly helping him shape, refine and inspire his music compositions, I know without a doubt, we made the right choice working with Wilkis "Ideology " Figuereo and Itec studios. This was after doing much research and interviewing all over the tri-state area.
Beside the fact that Mr. Figuereo is certified in every major digital software program, what really makes him so special is the 10 years of alternative education teaching experience he brings to each session. It's his uncanny ability to understand how a particular person "needs" to learn. He approaches every student as a unique individual!
This is what makes my son feel comfortable. This is the key. This is what enables him to feel confident and excited about his ideas.
I felt compelled to write this review because I see Wilkis helping my son fulfill his passion and purpose. As a father, what more can I ask!
Look, if you need to learn a piece of musical software or your aching to produce your musical ideas, in my opinion, you'll be in the great hands with Wilkis "Ideology " Figuereo and Itec studios.
