Specialist Expert Instructors
Our specialist music production instructors aren’t just teachers or active professionals — they’re both. With international releases, and years of real-world industry experience, they know what it takes to succeed. Many have spent years teaching music production, refining their ability to tailor lessons for beginners, intermediates, and advanced learners alike. Working with instructors across the USA, UK, and EU gives you access to global industry perspectives while still receiving the personalized training and techniques you need to thrive today.
“Doing this one-on-one meant every session was built entirely around whatever I was stuck on that week - no waiting for anyone else to catch up. My instructor restructured the whole plan around my own tracks.”

Almost anything in music production. In New York the most-requested private subjects are Ableton Live, Logic Pro, DJing, mixing and mastering, and songwriting, but we also teach Pro Tools, FL Studio, sound design, piano and vocals. If it happens in a studio, we can teach it one-to-one.
You tell us what you want to work on, we match you with a New York instructor who specialises in it, and you meet over Zoom (or screen-share software if you prefer) at times that suit you. Lessons are live, not pre-recorded, and built around your own projects and DAW.
Working New York producers, engineers and DJs who also teach on our programs. They have releases, credits and current projects of their own, and years of experience adapting a lesson to a complete beginner or an artist who already has a career.
Yes. Most New York private students book in-person sessions in one of our labs or studios in the city, and we can also come to your own studio, home or hotel (travel costs may be added). Online is always available if that suits you better.
A 24-hour package is $1,800 ($75 an hour); a single 3-hour session is $375 ($125 an hour). In-person sessions add $480 in a lab, $900 in a studio or $1,440 in elite facilities for the package. Add 50% per additional person. Payment plans may be available.
People who want the lesson built around them: producers who have hit a plateau, artists who want to finish their own records, DJs sharpening a live set, songwriters bringing production into their writing, and professionals who need to learn quickly and privately.
Yes, entirely. There is no set syllabus - you and your instructor decide what to cover and how fast, and you book sessions as and when you need them. Many New York students combine a burst of lessons before a project with occasional check-ins afterwards.
Yes. A good number of our New York clients are signed artists, producers with unreleased material or people in the public eye. We will sign an NDA and keep every session private as a matter of course.
Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Cubase and most others. Tell us your setup - DAW, controllers, plug-ins - and we match you with a New York instructor who works in it every day.
