Our meticulously designed courses immerse you in real-life scenarios, where you can immediately apply the skills and techniques specific to your lessons. No more watching theoretical knowledge that is poorly understood and just gathers dust on the shelf in your mind.
You will have the invaluable opportunity to learn from industry masters in real time face to face. Picture yourself working side by side with a mentor who will guide you every step of the way. Adapting to your learning approach and personalising each and every lesson so you get the most from them.
You will also get to use the latest equipment and software as well as a broad range of different setups for different situations. Think of it like walking into a showroom of equipment and getting a turn to learn on each model!
We firmly believe that action is the key to accelerated learning, long-lasting knowledge retention, and the attainment of your learning goals. Humanising the learning experience is a necessity in our lives when we are being pushed more and more to screens.
Our facilities includes multiple rooms and areas for lessons, practise, assessments, and project work. Equipment and software available is extensive and upon request can be setup in different configurations prior to lessons & practice or project sessions. DJ, producer, remixer, and kids courses are all conducted in these areas with some crossover between areas depending on the course and what session you are doing.
DJ ROOM 1 – PURPLE ROOM
Our prime DJ room, we always try to maintain a “club ready” setup here. With space for add-ons like laptops, drum machines & drum pads, this is usually your starting point for any DJ course with us. Lighting is also key in this room with LED lighting available to give it that right atmosphere when needed. A favourite with students for booking practise sessions in or filming / recording / streaming their DJ sets in.
DJ ROOM 2 – BLUE ROOM
Our most versatile DJ room, it is here that custom or mobile all-in-one configurations are usually setup. With the extra space available it is also good for 3 or 4 deck mixing, live remixing/performance rigs, and laptop with midi-controller setups. With the full size windows to the trees outside (blockout blinds also installed), it can be a perfect daytime room to breath some fresh air into your sessions.
CLASSROOM AREA
The largest of all our areas. This creative space is furnished with long wooden high tables that can be configured based on the session requirements. Generally setup in a “U” shape around a long main front table, students will eventually have lessons and assessments out in this area, even if not in a group scenario, as this gives you the chance to feel and hear your music in a larger setting. Not un-common for other students in the waiting area to catch a glimpse of a session or two before their own.
STUDIO 1 – GREY ROOM
The more cosy and raw of the two production studio rooms. There is a nice long table with plenty of room to bring out the hardware synths, setup a laptop, and get busy producing using the Ableton Push 3 and midi keyboards. With a few turntables in the room for sampling this is a great space to get the creative ideas flowing or lay down some rhythms and beats. Also has a nice control room view into Studio 2 – Red Room.
STUDIO 2 – RED ROOM
Designed for recording and the more complex side of producing. This room’s acoustic treatment and technology setup is next level. A great creative space free of distraction to get the “the business” side of producing done. Great for 2-to-1 sessions as well as project work considering the extra space. Instruments and vocal recording is mostly handled in this room.
PERFORMANCE AREA
Any of our in-house events utilise this area for main performances. Made famous by our SONIC KITCHEN live streaming performance & talk show, the space’s primary function is for showcasing talent, filming, streaming and content capture. Students that graduate may have the opportunity to perform in this area for both student nights as well as our streaming events.
