Special summer school 2 month condensed version of the TRW Full Time combined Sound Engineering course & Music Production Course (TRW Music Tech SE.)

Become a producer in just 2 months during your summer holidays! Only 2 places left.

This special condensed version of the TRW Sound Engineering & Music Production full time course lasts 2 months - from Tuesday 1st July 2008 to Friday 29th August 2008 and costs only £2945. This is the equivalent of all the TRW audio & sound engineering courses and music technology & music production courses with additional practical periods amounting to 32.5 hours per week. The days start at 11:00 and end at 17:30.

Modules included in the summer course:

• Foundation course
• choice of Cubase and/or Logic Pro
• Sampling
• Synthesiser programming
• ProTools
• Propellerheadz Reason 4
• Multi-track live recording including microphone techniques for vocals, acoustic & electric guitar, bass and drums.
• Mixing and mastering

One of the most important features is that there is a very maximum of 5 people per course. Other schools, colleges or courses have somewhere between 10 and 30 people per course. "I have taught in further education colleges and it was a nightmare. There were about 25 students trying to get access to the mixing desk. The class was also held back by some students who were there because they could not think of anything better to do. They were not really interested which brought the whole class down..." says Jose Gross the founder of The Recording Workshop. "I like the personal approach. Small classes, lots of practice on the equipment. Exchange of ideas between people. I am still learning even now from my students because they have unprejudiced ideas about how to do things which I am always struggling with myself."

...................

Another distinguishing feature of The Recording Workshop is that it is located slap bang in the middle of one of the most densely populated recording studio areas in the world. There are something like 50 recording studios in about 3 blocks of buildings! A lot of them belong to world class acts. One is frequently seeing famous faces in the nearby cafe or just walking down the corridor in this building or down the street. This makes it ideal for making contacts and work opportunities.

The course is in 2 parts:
The 1st part of the sound engineering & music technology full time course starts on Tuesday 1st July and lasts 7 weeks.
The 2nd part of the sound engineering & music technology course is entirely hands-on supervised studio time for you to create and develop your own productions over the last 2 weeks. You will also have studio time on the 3 previous Mondays.

Remember that as a full time student you are eligible for:

• Discount on Apple computers.
