Learning
Daily focus. Custom fit.
Courses
900 hours in class
Spend a focused year building technical, creative, and entrepreneurial skills through intensive project-based learning designed around the work you want to do.
30 class projects
Complete 30 hands-on projects that turn theory into practical experience — developing the skills, judgment, and portfolio needed to start pursuing professional opportunities.
Private tutoring
Get extra one-on-one help whenever you need more clarification, explanation, demonstration, or guidance. Private tutoring gives you additional time to strengthen areas for improvement, reinforce important concepts, and stay on track.
Tailored workshops
Go beyond the standard curriculum with workshops built around skills, tools, and topics relevant to your individual goals. If something important to your path falls outside the regular course material, we can help create focused learning around it.
Want to pursue game audio and need experience with a platform such as Wwise? A tailored workshop can give you a focused introduction to the tools and workflows most relevant to that direction.
Experience
Professional & creative spaces.
Studios
Learn and create in professional studios built around the same environments, equipment and workflows used in the industry.
Your access extends beyond scheduled classes, giving you more opportunities to practice, experiment, collaborate and work on your own projects.
Faculty
Learn directly from working professionals who bring real experience, practical insight and current industry perspective into the classroom.
Small classes make it easier to ask questions, get meaningful feedback and spend more time working directly with your instructors.
Classmates
You learn alongside other musicians, producers, engineers, creators and future industry professionals who bring their own influences, ideas and ambitions into the room.
Work together on projects, share feedback, trade skills and build creative relationships that can continue long after the program ends.
