Course Overview 

This is a hands-on, 10-week beginners' course in electronic music production using Ableton Live. It's built around creativity, confidence, and community, designed to empower students to create music from scratch and share their work with pride. 

Philosophy 

Most music courses lean too heavily on software and technical skills, overlooking the creative process itself. This can leave students stuck in option paralysis instead of actually making music.

We take a different approach. Our focus is on building your confidence as a creative, helping you discover your own musical identity and translate it into finished tracks. Yes, we’ll dive deep into Ableton (we’ve each used it for over 15 years), but our real role is more like creative coaches: guiding, supporting, and challenging you to grow as an artist.
