Music Foundations Program
Build a solid musical foundation for production and performance. Master music theory, keyboard skills, rhythm, melody, and harmony - the essential building blocks every producer needs.
Why Music Foundations Matter
Many producers jump straight into software without understanding the fundamentals that make great music. Music theory isn't just rules - it's the language of music that lets you express ideas, communicate with other musicians, and create tracks that truly resonate.
Whether you're making beats, EDM, hip-hop, or any genre, a strong musical foundation accelerates your growth and unlocks creative possibilities you never knew existed.

Rhythm & Timing
Master rhythm, time signatures, groove, and syncopation. Create drums and basslines that make people move.
Keyboard Skills
Learn to play keyboard and MIDI controllers. Translate musical ideas directly into your DAW with confidence.
