Each course is designed to identify and focus on the unique goals of the individual, concentrating on specific areas that will improve both creativity and musical output. Additionally there is a focus on Workflow, Motivation and Inspiration with the aim of increasing students productivity and most importantly enjoyment of the music making process.

The two day course targets key areas of music production and is primarily created for students with little or no experience who want to learn all aspects of production from the initial conception of an idea right through to he mixing and mastering phase. Beyond this the course is essentially bespoke for each student, with individuals requirements being discussed via email and telephone ahead of actually arriving at the studio. This saves valuable course time and ensures that time in the studio is structured to meet the students specific requirements. Students are welcome to bring their own tracks to work on, create a new track from the ground up or dissect any of the tutors released material for ideas, tips and techniques. The end goal for us is to see every student walk away from the course feeling that every minute was of value to them with the confidence to create and finish tracks in their genre of choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Testimonials

Having completed the online Focus Package, my music production skills have really come on leaps and bounds. There were still a few areas that I wanted to cover in depth and decided to book a studio day session with Keith. After an initial discussion about what I wanted to cover, we compiled a list of the key points and then went through them one by one on the day at a pace that was suitable for me.  Keith immediately made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived and nothing was a problem if I had questions or did not understand.
No matter what level you at are with your music I strongly recommend a day with Keith in his studio as i’m sure there is something he could teach you.
Chris Rawles (One Day Studio Session)

Just Had 2 Days with Keith down at his studio for some production tutoring and have got to say it was the best/ most informative 2 days i’ve ever had. I urge anyone thinking of brushing up on some skills to drop Keith a line. I learnt more in that short time than i did in 3 months at another London College. For anyone looking to shorten the long slow learning process this is right up your street, fantastic value for money and great production tips that will literally save me years of messing around.

Lee Stevenson (Two Day Studio Session)

The 2 day course was amazing. Keith’s knowledge in music production, recording, mixing and djing is second to none. Keith had an answer to any of my questions. The course on Ableton Live was extremely professional and so inspiring for my future projects. I will surely be back for more tricks on sound production in the future.
