Logic Pro Music Production Course | Miami
Welcome to a course in Logic Pro that’s designed with beginners in mind, but is also suitable for self-taught students, who want to augment their understanding within a small class situation. Learn to compose, record and to mix the music that you love.
Our instructors in Miami are all professionals that have many successful years of making records under their belts – and they are all excited to show you how they’ve achieved this. As a participant, you’ll get 36 hours to question and interact with your instructors and fellow learners to share and extract inspiration, or to drill down to any problems or road-blocks to creativity that you’ve encountered. It’s a truly wonderful, inclusive environment to air problems and share successes. Best of all, it’s a music production course conducted in person, where you can be spontaneous, considered or measured – all to suit your style and pace. Learning Logic Pro should be fun and interactive, and we haven’t lost sight of that, because it’s the best way to learn.
If this sounds right for you, you can bring your own laptop along for the course, and get help customizing it to suit your own requirements. This means that every project you begin whilst on the course will look and respond the same at home as it does in class, helping to give you the confidence to create. It’s cheaper for you to do it this way, too – but if you’d like to hire one of our fully-loaded iMacs (including the most recent version of Logic Pro), simply ensure you book one (adding a supplement of $75) at the same time as you book your course. We’ll be happy to provide everyone with controller keyboards and headphones as standard.
