Features
No matter where you stand on your musical journey, from an absolute beginner to a seasoned record producer, our course offers a personalised experience for each participant:
- Orientation Workshop: Your journey begins with an Orientation workshop for developing your musical vision. Together with your mentor, you’ll set clear milestones, paving the way for a focused and customised learning experience.
- Holistic Development: As you progress through the classes and one-on-one mentorship, you’ll not only develop your songs but also delve deep into the realms of music creation. Starting with the foundations in Ableton Live, you’ll gradually expand to mastery of studio hardware, creative plug-ins and real-world industry collaborations. This comprehensive approach ensures a well-rounded skill set to hone your unique sound, style and creative workflows.
- Grand Finale – Graduation Session: The course culminates in a graduation session, a celebratory showcase where each participant plays their final tracks. It’s not just a conclusion but a testament to your growth and creativity during the course.

Location:
The course can be taken either in-person at our world-class studio facilities in Sydney, or in live online sessions from anywhere in the world. Students can switch between in-studio and online any time.
No prior experience in music or advanced technology skills are necessary. Basic computer skills (navigation, opening, saving, etc) are enough to get started. The course covers everything else you’ll need.
For those already skilled in Ableton Live, perhaps even releasing or completing full songs, you may skip the Foundations module and directly join the Focus Series. Feel free to contact our team to discuss this option.
Just two things are required:
- A copy of Ableton Live. First-time users can access a free 30-day license, and when you’re ready to purchase, you’ll receive a 40% discount.
- 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 on-site. While you’ll explore various equipment and plugins, you won’t need to purchase anything; you can create professional tracks with just Ableton Live and headphones.
We offer flexible options:
- Switch to an online session if you can’t attend in-person.
- 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.
