Music education should work for creators, but it often doesn’t.
Aspiring producers, DJs, and musicians sign up for outdated courses that lack real-world relevance. They watch endless videos without guidance. They rent studio time alone without mentorship. They struggle to find community, industry connections, and confidence in their sound.
