Pick Your Stream
After completing Foundations (or if you already have experience), it’s time to pick a stream that excites you. Explore production, DJing, video game music, or voice and songwriting — the choice is yours!
Step 03 · Level Up
Go Further
Once you’ve completed your stream, the journey doesn’t stop. Students can take their skills deeper through private or semi-private coaching, collaborate with other artists in the studio, and book professional studio time to record and release their own work.

FAQ
Questions?
What does the studio offer?
We offer group programs, private and semi-private sessions, and studio rentals. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, there’s a format that fits.
Do I need experience to start?
Not at all. Our Foundations course is built for complete beginners. If you already have experience, you can skip ahead to a discipline or book a private session.
What is Foundations and is it required?
Foundations is our 8-week introductory course covering music theory, DAW basics, and recording fundamentals. It’s the recommended starting point for all students.
What equipment or materials do students need?
All studio equipment is provided — mics, monitors, DJ gear, everything. Production students should bring a laptop with DAW software. We recommend headphones for all students.
Can students record and take home their work?
Yes. Every session focuses on creating tangible work. All projects can be taken home or shared digitally.
How do you handle different learning paces in a group?
Our instructors are experienced in differentiated learning. Sessions include individual station work, collaborative projects, and peer mentoring. Faster learners can explore advanced techniques while beginners receive personalized attention — everyone progresses at their own pace within a supportive group dynamic.
What's your cancellation and makeup policy?
Missed classes aren’t refundable, but we’ll provide materials so your child can catch up.
How big are the groups?
We keep classes small (3–6 students) so each student gets individual attention while still enjoying the group setting.
Can I join late in the session?
If there’s space, yes! Contact us for details about pro-rated tuition.
Will there be a performance or showcase?
Yes! At the end of each term, students share what they’ve learned — whether that’s a group performance for instrumentalits/vocalists or a listening party for producers.
What's the difference between group, private and semi-private?
Group programs run in 8-week terms with 3-6 students. Private sessions are 1-on-1 with a mentor, producer or recording engineer fully tailored to you. Semi-private sessions let you bring 1-2 friends for a shared experience at a lower per-person cost.
