| Hey I was wondering if anyone knew of any well known and reputable music schools that teach producing/engineering. I believe these are 2 year courses to finish the degree. If you have attended one or know of one please let me know. I am very interested in applying for a music school to help out with my producing and engineering skills to make my songs sound pro. Also, do you guys think this will help? Or would I just learn more by myself studying the forums, and learning from other people. Anyway, please recommend some music schools anywhere, thanks! |

hey man
are you talking about a trade school? probably.
music schools are more for performance/composition/teaching classical and jazz music. these are typically conservatories and such. they prolly have music production/engineering programs, but to get accepted you gotta have an impressive portfolio/audition.
where are you located btw?
if you live on the west coast in sf or la there are a bunch of options in terms of tradeschools, actually any trade school would prolly be fine anywhere in the US. from what i understand though, they are expensive as hell.
are you a senior in HS applying to colleges and trying to decide on a school?
if so, then most colleges have production/engineering programs. how these compare to the trade schools i dunno.
any of these options will definetly help you. just remember it all depends on how much and how hard you work at it. thats the bottom line.
i dunno if my 2 cents has given you any info, but there are plenty of ppl here who know more than i do on this topic.

SAE
Sound engineering course. (Note: Different to music production)
L.A., Miami, Nashville, NYC |
|
|
| InterMilan31 |
School Of Sound Recording(SSR, www.ssr.com)
Manchester UK
If your not in the UK its definitly worth it still. They help international students get housing and all that other stuff. Its a great informative course(s) and they have lots of networking opportunities |

Hi, first I would like to thank you all very much for being so helpful.
To ASFSE -
I am talking more about specific institutions that teach courses such as music theory, engineering, and music production... anything that can teach a person how to get better with logic pro 7, hardware synths, compressors, eq ..etc. I have already finished college and majored in a business marketing degree. To me this was a waste of time because my whole passion is with music and I really wish I would have studied music and expanded in that field instead. However, I do not think its too late to start intensive learning about music production. Currently I have been producing for 1 and a half years. I use logic pro 7, and i have some neat hardware pieces. However, my problem is I feel that 1 side of producing I am well off (music writing, what I want) and the other side I am pretty bad at (engineering, eq, knowing how to get great sounds out of my hardware synths, creating sounds, using logic to its full capability). I have talked to some of my friends about it and they told me that since i was serious about this, I should look into music institutions.. this would further my knowledge and help me a lot. I know on this forum there are a lot of producers that learn everything themselves are doing very well in this music production field. However for me I feel like I am getting nowhere just by studying these forums and trying to learn by myself. That is another reason I am looking to go to class to learn more and to get better.
I have done some more research and looked up many more schools if anyone else is interested. I do not know which one is the best , however maybe someone who has attended before could put in some of his or her knowledge.

Thank you all again, I hope I can find the right place. |

Check the webstie!
SAE Institute is the world's largest audio college, with over 45 campuses on four continents. Creative, practical training in audio engineering, music production, filmmaking, digital video, animation, graphics, multimedia, entertainment business, web design and development since 1976.
If that's not "Internationally recognised" I don't know what is.

i too have been considering a music production coarse of some sort and looked into SAE because its the only place that does what i want in adelaide, but im still unsure if i really REALLY wanna do it,
because with the money i spend on the coarse i could buy myself the equipment i want and teach myself at my own pace, how i feel comfortable. and even after doing the coarse i still need to be the equipment anyway. also because i'm not using this coarse as a credential in getting a job but to improve my production skills then theres no real point.
however i do think it could give me a big boost, making sure im doing everything right and teach a new sequencer and how its used with hardware is something that takes quite some time and this would teach it alot more effeciently.
so yeah still deciding, lol.
let us no what you's think and shout us any info on courses that teaches exactly what im looking for, eg. advanced electronic music production.
peace)) |
