Words From Our Students
“Last year I had no idea how to make a song in Ableton and now I feel like I have endless possibilities and potential for creativity. Making music is now an exciting process that I feel confident in doing.”
Kelsey StanochAlumni 
"The music production class at Beat Lab was an awesome experience and provides a super solid foundation in music production. Incredible teachers and the environment is collaborative, fun, and inspiring. I couldn't recommend this classes more! The class helped me get out of a major creative rut and on to writing a ton of music!"
MarigoAlumni 
"Taking classes at Beat Lab Academy was one of the most important moves that I have made towards the end of my senior year in college. I've wanted to give what I love doing a shot, and this community, as well as the brilliance of Yeuda, taught me more than I could ever dream of inside and outside of the classroom."
