Our Testimonials

I greatly appreciated his mentorship and would like to book more sessions sometime in the future. I have done private tutoring sessions with other music producers in the past and they were way less skilled at teaching, so I am grateful.

Katherine Robertson

Good structure and reinforcement, instructor open to answering all questions and being as helpful as possible covering a wide variety of topics.

Suzy Lamb

I work with some of the biggest music producers in the industry on a daily basis. Now I understand how they do what they do.

Shaun Royer

It was great and totally hands-on. I understood exactly what I needed, and the instructor was patient, quick, totally sorted out my computer as well. I like that I was able to use the time I had in LA to learn something I have been wanting to for a while. When I started my conversation with admissions, I was quite confused, but he sorted me out. I think for someone who might be trying to make their mind up, the guidance provided by the school could be very helpful in planning their moves!
