About

Hi, I’m Rodrigo De la Prida. I’m a seasoned music production instructor and independent producer based in Santiago, Chile. I design curricula for 21st-century classrooms, work with music notation in Finale, and produce music with Ableton Live, helping students and fellow artists achieve their creative goals. I’ve taught and collaborated across genres, balancing technical precision with artistic expression.

As a guitarist with various bands and a published author of guitar-focused books, I blend hands-on performance experience with pedagogy to mentor students and colleagues. My work spans education, recording, and remote collaboration with international artists, and I enjoy building projects that connect theory to real-world music making.
