You know how to make music. Now you're ready to take that music to the next level!

Advanced Electronic Music Production picks up where our 6 month Ableton Live program ends.

This course has no pre-recorded video content, only live, personalized instruction from the best in the business. Available both online and in-person, this course will break you through the creative barriers that have kept your music from becoming what you hear in your imagination.
