FAQs

No worries! We can accommodate you with options for remote learning. And regardless of where you are or how you learn, our experienced mentors will provide personalized one-on-one instruction.

It’s all of the above! If you are a music creator and want to learn more about the creation of music — be it electronic, hip-hop, rock, country, soul, pop, R&B, or something else — we have programs to help you.

Sure thing. First of all, we think we provide an affordable and world-class alternative to more expensive audio engineering and music production schools in Virginia. Secondly, we were founded in 1983 in part to help keep students out of debt. That’s why we work hard to keep our curriculums at an affordable price that nearly any budget can afford. We want our students to emerge from our program as debt-free as possible before embarking on their careers.
