Each is a specialist in his or her own field, with daily professional experience of the sharp end of the music business.

Personal Tutors:
Your day to day contact. Very experienced professional musicians and composers with an excellent knowledge of music and technology.

Course Tutors:
Many of our projects are specialised and we think you need a specialist to assess your work. If you submit an orchestration project, you can get advice from a Hollywood orchestrator. If you send in a pop mix, it'll be a Grammy Winning Mixer. Try the remix project and get feedback from Madonna's remixer.

As a distance learning school, one of our big advantages is being able to access this world of talent. We think you deserve the best.
