WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY:
 
 

 

  • It's the best place I've found to study music production.
  • Very in depth. It covers every aspect of producing, composing and recording music that you will ever have considered,and more.Teaches you everything you need to become a successful songwriter/producer.
  • It pushes musicians/producers into seeing their potential and pursuing it. It is good for contacts, sharing information and getting feedback.I have particulally liked having my eyes opened to the many-faceted professional world of music.
  • I attended ATM because I wanted to gain experience in mastering proper sounds and programming to advance to a higher level so that I can work independently as a freelance music producer.
  • Before I started my course I had no idea about how to go about making a really good dance track. Now i can make tracks easily, with complex melodies and beats, exactly how I want to make them.
  • This course has been really good for learning about music software and production.
