Course Overview: Whether you're a beginner or have some music production experience, this one-one-one music production training program will transform your skills and unlock your full creative potential. What makes our in-studio music production program different from the rest? For one, we begin our training with lessons in basic piano and music theory (for those students who don't already play an instrument). This will provide you with a solid musical foundation on which to build the necessary skills to create industry-ready beats and instrumentals. From there, we explore music composition, arrangement, rhythm, harmony, melody, and using your D.A.W.

Frequently Asked Questions
When Do Classes Start?
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.
Do I have To Have Experience To Enroll In The Program?
Not at 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.
Is There An Age Requirement?
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.
What Software Will I Be Learning?
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.
What Equipment Do I Need To Start The Program?
The only equipment that you will need to start the program is a computer and a stable internet connection. In the first class, we will make recommendations as to the equipment that would be beneficial for your progress and development. In addition to a computer, we also recommend a D.A.W. (i.e. production software), 49-key MIDI keyboard, audio interface, microphone, studio monitors and/or headphones.
What If I Miss A Class? Are There Make-Up Classes?
You’ll want to maintain an excellent attendance record. That is the best way to ensure the stellar results that have realized by our past graduates. We will excuse, and provide make-ups for a maximum of 2 classes, if you have to miss due to work, schedule conflict, illness, etc.
Will This Program Allow Me To Get A Job In The Music Industry?
Unfortunately, no education program can guarantee employment after completion. The field of Music Production is very competitive, and the most successful producers start their own production businesses to grow their brands.
Do You Offer Student Financing?
Yes. We do offer our own unique financing option. This allows you to set up monthly installments for the program.
Once you’ve completed your free strategy session, you’ll be able to learn more about our zero-interest financing option that does not require a credit check.
