The Production & Performance Program is split into 6 Phases:

PHASE 1 (1 Month)

Phase 1 consists of the basic fundamentals. You’ll learn the basics of sound and then begin to understand what every button does in Ableton Live. You will also begin your journey into The DVLP Method. Step 1 of The Method is Songwriting. Get ready to hone in on your ideas.

PHASE 2 (1 Month)

Phase 2 covers advanced fluency of the DAW but also covers Step 2 of The DVLP Method: Pre-Production. Discover what it takes to take your song idea and begin transforming it into something you’re proud of.

PHASE 3 (1 Month)

In Phase 3 you will be fully immersed in Step 3, Production. Here you will learn how to make the sounds in your head appear in the DAW so that you can make your song what it deserves to be.

PHASE 4 (1 Month)

Phase 4 will be where we learn how to mix. This fourth step of The DVLP Method is crucial to allowing your song to really shine. We’ve already worked so hard to build it. Now we need to make it sound good!

PHASE 5 (1 Month)

Our final step of The DVLP Method is finally here: Mastering. This phase will be split into learning the art of mastering and beginning to develop your brand identity.
