PRIVATE LESSONS
Private lessons are offered in voice, piano, guitar, bass (electric and upright), drum set/percussion, trumpet, French horn, trombone, tuba, flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, violin, violin, viola, cello, songwriting, DJ technique (Abelton and Serato), recording technique (Logic and ProTools), and video/film production (Final Cut).
We have found that private one-on-one instruction allows students to progress at their own pace and allows them to gain the best understanding of musical techniques. We teach a variety of genres of music such as pop, jazz, rock and classical. Private lessons are one hour in duration, (however, we also offer 30-minute lessons to students ages 7 to 10 if desired). All private lessons are held once per week (or more upon request), on weekdays/nights and Saturdays. For your convenience, rental instruments are also available. Students can start private lessons any time of the month or year so there's no need to wait to get started.
ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
Our Artist Development Program is for the serious musician, singer, songwriter, or rapper, looking to make it in the music industry. Because of our personal success in the music business, we know what is needed to take a musical artist to the next level. We provide artist recordings, branding, photo shoots, music videos, social media, press interviews, merchandise and distribution of artists’ music, as well as artist management. Essentially, we are a one-stop-shop for success.
This program requires a substantial commitment from the artist involved. Acceptance into this program is audition-based and is offered to those between the ages of 12 to 26. Artists are required to attend a minimum of 2 lessons/week and attend development workshops. Additionally, artists must be willing to travel and perform at the venues/shows we produce, as well as be flexible in their schedules to allow for photo/video shoots, social media and press meetings, etc. Note: Services are provided as the artist develops his/her craft and becomes ready to take each step.
AUDIO PRODUCER PROGRAM
Our Audio Producer Program is designed for electronic musicians looking to learn or refine their technique while creating new relationships with other working producers. Electronic musicians collaborate on projects using Logic and ProTools as well as work with professional audio engineers. Topics covered include: recording technique, mixing and mastering, analog and digital concepts, equalizers and filters, compressors and limiters, reverbs and delays, as well as the overall operation of a music studio. The program is designed to give producers a well-rounded experience in all areas of the recording process.
VIDEO/FILM EDITOR PROGRAM
Our Video/Film Editor Program teaches students how to edit video using Final Cut Pro, the industry standard. Once a basic understanding of the program is complete, students will collaborate to bring in their own footage and work the editing process from beginning to end. Students will learn the necessary skills both on a technical and creative level for TV, film, and the Internet.
GIGS AND PERFORMANCES
Included for all students
Music is a performing art and therefore all of our students are encouraged to participate in our performances. We produce shows throughout the year in a variety of local venues to provide the opportunity of performing in front of an audience.
