We have designed the curriculum in such a way to give you the broadest foundation in music production. We want you to feel comfortable in a wide variety of settings, ranging from dance production to rock music, creating music for advertising campaigns and everything in between. Our mission is to prepare you for the challenges and opportunities that await you in the music world.
