Take Your Music Beyond the Studio
Launch Series is for self-produced artists ready to perform live, release strategically, and build an audience around their work.
You already write, arrange, mix, and finish tracks. The next step is learning how to take that music into the real world — through performance, collaboration, and a clear release strategy.
Launch Series gives you a structured path into live performance, studio collaboration, vocal production, and industry-facing practice — so your music doesn’t stop at finished files on a hard drive.
From Finished Tracks to Active Artist
You’ve developed the production skills to finish tracks — but releasing them, performing them, and building momentum as an artist is a different challenge. Without a clear strategy, strong music can easily get lost once it’s out in the world.
Launch Series helps you bridge that gap — refining your production in collaborative sessions with working artists, and turning finished tracks into real releases, live performances, and meaningful industry connections.
- Develop a live set, release strategy, and grow your audience
- Build professional skills in vocal production, studio production, and artist collaboration
- Collaborate with guest artists, specialist trainers, and industry mentors
By the end, you’ll have released music, a live show ready to perform, skills you can use to work with artists and take on paid projects, and strong industry connections.

Who This Course Is For
Launch Series is for self-produced artists who can already write, arrange, mix, and finish tracks independently. You should be fluent in Ableton Live and have at least two tracks ready for development when you start.
Most students come to Launch Series after completing Produce Music or Focus Series, but it’s open to any experienced producer with a solid portfolio.
Still building your production skills? Produce Music takes you from beginner to release-ready, while Focus Series sharpens the core disciplines for finishing tracks. Both are strong preparation for Launch Series.
FAQs
This course is for those already skilled in music production and Ableton Live, equivalent to our Produce Music course. You must have at least two songs already in development. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact our team who can help assess your readiness.
Just two things are required:
- The current version of Ableton Live Suite.
- A standard pair of wire-connected headphones (not Bluetooth-only).
A laptop is useful, but if you only have a desktop, we can provide a laptop for on-site classes. While you’ll explore various equipment and plugins, you won’t need to purchase anything.
We offer flexible options:
- Access detailed study resources at home if you miss a session.
- Discounted one-to-one sessions are available for in-person catch-ups.
- If you miss an entire module, join a waitlist to retake it at a later date.
Yes, we offer flexible instalment plans. Begin with a deposit and pay the rest in manageable monthly instalments. For more details, follow the timetable links above. Note: some payment plans require early enrolment.
Intakes start on whichever module is next in the schedule – you’ll rotate through all five over the 13-month program. As an experienced producer, you have the skills to jump into any module. There’s no fixed starting point, so you can enrol for the next available intake rather than waiting for a specific module.
Most of Launch Series is in-studio only at our Surry Hills studio in Sydney – the collaborative sessions, live performance rehearsals, and team production all require in-person participation. The exception is Release Music, which is delivered online. This mix reflects how the skills are best learned: performance and collaboration in person, industry and release strategy from anywhere.
