Building the Bridge between Creative Expression & Technical Expertise

& Mixing,Playback Engineering, Live Show Production,
Sound Design, & Musical Performance!

Why Learn music?

Music-making can enhance brain plasticity, which is the
brain's ability to change and adapt.
♦
Studies also show that it activates many brain regions,
including the sensory, motor, and multimodal regions.
♦
Music-making is known to decrease anxiety and depression,
and increase creativity and overall confidence.



Music Production & Audio Engineering Degree programs at traditional Colleges and universities can range anywhere from $5,000 - $60,000.
♦

Our programs are offered with families in mind at a fraction of that price.

♦

HomeSchool students can use our courses towards elective credits.
