Make Some Music
Come and make some music whatever your level of experience at the Ableton Push Playground – a drop-in music lab where you can explore sampling, beat-making, and songwriting with Ableton Push for yourself whilst receiving hands-on advice and guidance from Ableton staff & trainers.
Stop by between the hours of 3 and 4 to get some one-to-one beatmaking done, or come by at 4-5 to see a presentation on sampling and beat-making with Ableton Certified Trainer Ben Casey.

Ben Casey
Musician, Trainer, and Music Tech Nerd
Ben Casey is a Brooklyn-based electronic musician, Ableton Certified Trainer, and overall music tech nerd. When he’s not surrounded by wires and drum machines or tinkering with Max for Live, Ben teaches Ableton Live to musicians across all genres, from avant-garde to zydeco.
While living in London he earned an MMUS from Goldsmiths University, and released tracks on the inscrutable UK-based label Werk Discs. Upon returning to the US, he founded a boutique electronic instrument business.
A Live user since its very beginning, Ben is always happy to show off his boxed copy of Version 1. He works with Grammy-winning artists to integrate Live into their existing production and performance workflows, consulting on numerous live tours, theater productions, and art installations.
With a focus on teaching the tips and tricks that allow musicians at any skill level to harness the power of Live, Ben is available for one-on-one sessions and group lessons in person, or Zoom lessons worldwide.
