Designed by one of our Apple T3-certified instructors from our world-class teaching roster, you'll go step-by-step through everything Logic Pro has to offer—from the fundamentals to more advanced creative tools. This is real, guided, hands-on learning, not a disconnected video series.
You’ll learn in small groups, with plenty of time to ask questions and collaborate with fellow students—either in-person at one of our studios or Live Online from wherever you are.
By the end, you’ll know how to unlock the full power of Logic Pro and apply it directly to your own music, with confidence and clarity.
In Portland this course is deliberately small: a handful of students, one working producer, and plenty of time on the equipment. If getting to the studio is not practical, the same classes run live online, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse. Discover qualities that distinguish us, here.
What our students say.
“I came into the program with no idea how to work Logic, and after the intensive week, I worked out programming beats, using loops and samples…I feel like I can take my music to the next level now. Thanks :)”
