Forty-five minutes one to one each week, for teens and adults. Piano by ear, production, or a mix of both. Online Hub included.
Teen Producer Lab
Ages 12 to 18. A weekly 90-minute small group of no more than six: beats, keys, songwriting and a premiere at Showcase Night.
Adult evening classes
Six-week group courses after work: Piano by Ear for Beginners, Worship Keys, and Make a Beat in Fender Studio.
Summer Beat Camp
A week-long day camp for ages 11 to 16. Every camper leaves with a finished, mixed track and plays it at Friday's listening party.
The Teen Producer Lab.
An extracurricular crew for teens who live in their headphones, after school or at the weekend. Each week the crew learns a new production or keys skill, works on their own track, and plays it for the group. Every season ends on stage at Showcase Night.
