An innovative modulated course structure that allows aspiring musicians the flexibility to choose modules
and build courses as per their need, requirements and aspirations.
The way people learn and require instruction has changed over the last decade.
Technology, the Internet and the interest of students are all factors considered when developing a Modular program.
Our Modular course structure gives aspiring musicians the flexibility to choose their own path and take on a module as per their individual needs. It makes allowances for reattempts or repetition of specific broad topics rather than an entire program.
Our modulated course structure allows independent certification of specific topics based on interest and/or ability.
These course modules have been developed with research over the past 15 years.
We blended critical elements of the music industry. So, we combined ideas on creativity, technology, and skills required for success. Learning is a continuous process; these modules offer a great starting point and we hope to add more modules for specialised topics in the future.
In addition to being the foundation of our programs, these modules are also available individually as independent offerings.
However, Certificates are provided only for our predetermined Certificate and Diploma programs.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could have your productions mixed and mastered in-front of you and learn how to do it at the same time
The process of audio production is equal parts art and science, with technology enhancing the creative efforts of an artist. Two of the most essential elements of production are mixing and mastering, which are often misunderstood by new producers to be one process. In fact, they are two separate processes and should never be combined.
Typically, a track requires two distinct individuals—a mix engineer (or the artist/producer) and a mastering engineer—to achieve a successful finish.
Mixing is the process of combining and adjusting individual elements to form a stereo audio file after a mixdown. It is the necessary step before mastering. Mastering involves adjusting EQs, compression, limiters and stereo enhancements after completing the mix of the stereo file. The mastering engineer’s only directive is to provide a clear, professional sound that listeners will enjoy on any media or device.
Our Mixing and Mastering course is a series of private individual sessions, divided into two parts. A student will learn and implement the process of mixing his or her own track with our mix engineer, then learn how to master the same track with our mastering engineer. Students will conclude the course with their own tracks mixed, mastered, and ready to be professionally released.
