I'm not sure if there are classes that are dedicated on making only trance. Because most places that offer music production expect you to be producing for a band or group, and from what I know if you go into music production as a major, they frown upon electronic music. I'd recommend going audio engineering major if you want to produce EDM.

My advice: learn music before you learn "production." Learn to play an instrument.

A strong traditional base will help you in composing any kind of music, including non-electronic stuff if you ever want to try that, and it will still be just as relevant even when most of the technologies you learned getting a "production" degree have become outdated in ten or fifteen years.

come on homie. you learn about producing trance from the streets, it's not a government thing.

This.

Also like with any creative industry, be yourself... Going to college/uni teaches you the same as what everyone else is learning. The people who get the most out of it are the people who expand and say 'Now I know the rules, Fuk em, I'm doing it my way'

Its half the reason why there is so much shit EDM these days, people being less creative, copy catting and following the same path as the others.

This CD is loaded with uplifting, energetic, blood moving tracks intricately mixed with angelic perfection. From that moment on, I could feel the magik flowing through my veins while listening to the music that Tijs carefully samples and produces. His creativity allows him to develop the concepts of songs that bring life and energy to people around the world.

Just remember, should you decide to visit Clark Atlanta, be sure to arrive wearing your most glittery Anjuna shirt and making the best attempt at that face that one trollop from Above & Beyond makes, you know, the one with the glasses who instead of a chin has an overbite. Then remember to ask where the nearest bathrom is. To everyone.

This is when they will show you to the plurchamber.

More seriously if you want to succeed like Tiesto or AvB, just learn marketing and hire a producer that will make you bankable tracks.

jesus christ why would you waste money on a TRANCE COLLEGE?

there is NO such thing as that anyway, thank god. if you want, go to SAE and get an electronic producer certificate. better yet, if you want to know more and get better chances to even internship at a studio, get a recording engineer certificate/diploma

there is nothing special about trance that you won't learn by just learning a program. it's all about ideas, every style of music is about ideas. all you need is knowledge.

and 2nd, i'd recommend a few years of independent learning before you spend money on doing something you might not be passionate about
