City View Recording
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).

Salem is the state capital of Oregon, home to roughly 150,000 people, and situated about 50 miles south of Portland. Although not the first place people might associate with the music business in general, Salem has its own music scene, with local bands and artists spread across a diversity of musical genres. Live music can regularly be heard in venues such as Wasteland and The IKE Box. Notable musicians with ties to Salem and the surrounding area include singer/songwriter Meredith Brooks, legendary fingerstyle guitarist John Fahey, ska band The W’s, and the late Larry Norman, considered by many to be the ‘Father of Christian Rock.’
