If you have prior knowledge and would like to step up your production skills, you can jump straight to

Art of the Super Producer – Mixing, Mastering, and Artist Branding
We will always have something to offer to improve your production skills, no matter your experience level.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Should I take a course or private lessons?” el_id=”1431244762585-ad589eaa-d8bc”]This all depends on your own personal goals. At Beat Lab Academy™, we provide two different environments, and both have their own advantages:
In the Lab (classroom), classes come equipped with desks that are designed to be interactive with other classmates while the instructor facilitates, teaches, and interacts with students.
You will get a musical environment with like-minded people, and potential future music partners
Our private lessons are held in our mixing and mastering studios in a 1-on-1 setting with your instructor. This is designed for students who would like more focused time with an instructor and their music. Private lessons are for those who require a flexible schedule and strive to achieve their artistic goals.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”I’m not a beginner, do I still need to start at level I?” el_id=”1431244876904-7ca4948a-b196″]If you have a solid understanding in music production as introduced in our Level I course, then you can schedule a 1-on-1 meeting to see if you can fit directly in our Level II course – Producer Skills.
