FireStarter Recording Studios
We took that old stale classroom concept, rebuilt and upgraded it by putting your classroom in a professional recording studio.Then we emptied out all the other students and left only YOU and YOUR TEACHER (yay for one-on-one learning!) who happens to be a pro music producer (with killer credits) to train you privately (at your pace, full time, part time, nights or weekends available).

How it works
Your Poughkeepsie, New York AUDIO RECORDING SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE
Located about halfway between New York City and the state capital of Albany, Poughkeepsie is bordered by the Hudson River to the West. Many residents head to New York City for work, riding the rails to get to the office. The Poughkeepsie Station acts as the northern terminus for the Metro-North Hudson Line, with trains leaving every 30 minutes during weekday rushes.
We will submit your music to labels or get you a job in a studio or as a creator.

Which isn’t to say the town is deserted during the week. For a time, the city was the location of the main IBM plant, producing the computer that beat chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov. It still acts as the main design and manufacturing center, concentrating on the newest mainframes.
Marist and Vassar colleges are located here as well, providing a youthful influence on the entertainment of the town. There are several live music venues in Poughkeepsie offering a wide range of music from indie to electronic to rock and heavy metal. Even classical music is represented thanks to the renowned Hudson Valley Philharmonic which calls Poughkeepsie home.
