The Music Career Catalyst Program is a 12-month comprehensive experience covering production, engineering, business, and branding – it goes over everything you need to become a creative force in the field. Other courses focus more specifically on either Production & Performing live or only Audio Engineering. The M.C.C. Program is meant to go over everything to turn you into a “swiss army knife” of music and audio.
Students attend structured classes throughout the week, with hands-on lab time, private mentorship sessions, and studio access. Your schedule will vary depending on your chosen program.
All three of our core programs—Music Career Catalyst, Production & Performance, and Recording & Engineering—include a program-specific certification. Our coaching plans can also include a certification, depending on the plan.
Students are required to have a laptop & Pro Tools and/or Ableton Live 12. Please email ad***@*********my.com for specific questions or needs.
