Our Standard program lasts 20 weeks. Students meet each week with Asaf Fulks for private session to cover the weekly lesson. Lesson times are flexible. The rest of the week students are encouraged to shadow live studio sessions, utilize our studios to work on their projects and to collaborate with other students. In addition to music production and audio engineering, we teach students about the industry, how to succeed and how to become marketable candidates for jobs. They see first hand what it takes to run a successful studio business and record label, from a legendary pro -- gaining valuable experience and credentials for their resume. After lesson 20 students are required to pass our final exam and Waves Audio's Certification exam. Upon passing these exams and completion of their final projects students will receive our audio engineering and music production certificate plus Waves Audio WCP certification.

Our 30 and 40 week extended programs are designed to give students extra time in our studios and guidance from our instructors. We firmly believe that a strong body of work in the music industry is just as valuable as any certificate or degree. These courses consist of 10-20 extra weeks following the completion of the standard 20 week program. During this time students focus on building a strong portfolio. They will meet one-on-one with Asaf to write, produce, record, mix and master their own professional songs, film scores and/or sound design projects. We are also available to teach students web design, graphics design and video editing using Adobe software. Our graduate Ako's final project music video has nearly 250k views on Facebook alone and has reached over a million people! Also check out releases through our label by students Josh Robin, Sage Roberge and more in the LOST DISCS collection!
