Frequently Asked Questions
There is Open Enrollment for this program. It is one-on-one, so as long as we have space and your schedule aligns with our course availability, you can start as soon as you enroll.
Not all. Some of our students are absolute beginners. These students tend to do very well in our program because they haven’t picked up a lot of bad music production habits.
The majority of our students are adult learners (18+). However, we have trained younger students, as well. Any student who is younger than 18 years of age will have to be enrolled by a parent or legal guardian.
In today’s music industry, there are a number of popular software programs that our students like to use. Our core training is the craft of Music Production, which is the same regardless of the software program used. We have trained students in numerous DAWs, such as Logic Pro X, FL Studio, Reason, Studio One, MPC2000, and more.
It is best to focus on one software program. We understand that students entering our program will most likely have already invested in software. That is why we make sure that we are able to offer training in a number of different platforms.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND BOUNCING AROUND IN DIFFERENT SOFTWARE PROGRAMS. PICK ONE FOR MUSIC PRODUCTION AND MASTER IT.
The only equipment that you will need to start the program is a computer and a stable internet connection.

(i.e. production software), 49-key MIDI keyboard, audio interface, microphone, studio monitors and/or headphones.
