IO Music Academy

IO music academy has been the most amazing experience I could have ever asked for! As a singer songwriter I always wanted to understand the production side of making music and IO has showed me every detail of making music that I could ever need! They have been so kind and patient and understanding in the learning process of production and provide an atmosphere where you feel comfortable to ask as many questions as you need and are always providing more than enough tools and resources and guidance you could ever need for you to accomplish your production and music dreams! There workshops are amazing too and highly recommend as well as there studio spaces to practice in! I feel so much more confident walking into a studio with professionals after learning from IO and feel more ready than ever to take on my projects and take my career to the next level and will always keep IO as a part of the team! Thank you IO for everything!! 🙂 ~Casey Clare

I learned so much from my time at IO Music Academy, from mastering production techniques to gaining a deeper understanding of the music industry. The mentorship I received was invaluable, and the sense of community is unmatched. I not only met lifelong friends but also gained the confidence to share my music with the world. IO Music Academy truly helped me step into the artist I've always aspired to be

IO music academy has been a great way to go from zero to hero with making electronic music. Really enjoyed the remix class, secret sauce, and the synthesizers class going deep on sound design. Nice homework assignments and final projects to push yourself, and community workshops too. I love the private lessons and studio time to really lock in and refine an idea with the instructors. They're all great. Attached my last project from the synthesizer class cuz I had it in my recents folder haha. Really fun constraints on this project!!

I've taken 4 courses at IO Music Academy and it has been such a rewarding, motivating, and engaging experience that has formed me as a house music producer. This is a school for people who work full/part time but still want to grow, advance their music abilities, and be surrounded by other passionate, driven musicians. The night classes and balanced amount of coursework allow you to go as deep as you want, led by instructors that are all patient, kind, and talented. What I've loved about IO is the access to treated music studios for solo work or collaborations, the tight knit community, and the 1:1 lessons where you get an hour of undivided individualized attention to your projects. The in-person classes are 10x more engaging than an online program, and I say that as someone who studdied individually online for 2 years before going to IO. Plus having other sharp students who ask questions and being able to ask live questions when they pop up is key. The final projects and graduation presentations create skin in the game and a sense of achievement that pushes you forward on your journey in a healthy, supportive way. As an alum and an active community member, I can't recommend this school enough.

This is my go-to school for in-person music production education in Los Angeles. I love that you don't have to commit. You can go for just a 2-hour workshop or a 4-week mini course, or a full semester course, there's no obligation to commit long-term. The instructors are super nice, grounded, and talented and the classes are fun (I can't handle academia sans humour). Almost all classes are recorded and available online to review as well. I highly recommend IO!
