Course Description

Overview

Have you ever tried to make music but feel lost or not sure where to begin?

Started using the software, got frustrated, and gave up?

I feel your pain.

I spent 10 years of trial and error learning the hard way so you don't have to.

The Blueprint to Beatmaking is an in-depth structured system for learning the fundamentals of hip-hop production. 

Making music is the most rewarding skill I’ve ever learned, and I can't wait to share that with you. If you're here it's for a reason. You don't want to waste time. You're ready to take the music you hear in your head and create a tangible piece of art. Everything you need to make that happen is right here.

This course includes my actionable 3-step system so you can crush the learning curve, save time, and start making dope beats as fast as possible.

When learning a new skill most of my students jump ahead of themselves and attempt to learn very complicated and advanced concepts before mastering the basics. I’m guilty of this too. Why? 

Because when we're first starting out we often lack the proper curriculum. But it doesn’t matter if you know about parallel compression if your composition is whack. Do yourself a favor: learn the foundations first. 

This course will save you years of trial and error with a step-by-step system that you can implement right away.

By getting your mind right, learning the fundamentals, and having a concrete action plan moving forward, you’ll know why you’re working on a particular aspect of production at each stage in the process.

No more flailing around wasting time with disjointed tutorials. With the proper blueprint you’ll be able to progress toward creating the music you always set out to create.

The goal of this course is to get you rockin' with an easy to follow framework. It’s designed to be easily approachable for complete beginners, and also applicable for intermediate students who need the tools to break through any plateaus they’re facing with their current production.

You ready to rock? Lets get it!
