Music production school Protege are offering a free week-long taster course.
Taught by multi award-winning composer and producer team Richard Schrieber and Vikram Gudi, Protege is tailored to help producers and composers build stable careers from home.
The duo, whose successful 10 year relationship spans over 100 credits (trailers for Captain America, Glass, Blade Runner 2049 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare), are offering pupils the chance to gain access to their industry network to further their success in achieving TV and film placements.
Modules will cover practical skills as well as mindset and come complete with direct weekly feedback from the tutors.
Richard Schrieber comments: ‘The problem with most music schools is that they don't teach anything about mindset. There is often a distinct or complete lack of real-world projects, with no direct or tangible professional opportunities to match an individual’s initial investment. We wanted to make a difference to people’s careers by pooling our knowledge to help those wanting to crack the music industry.’
Vikram Gudi says: ‘It’s a really tough time for everyone, but there has never been a better moment to maximise this special opportunity to compose from home. We hope to inspire a new generation of composers and producers by teaching them the formula to establish stable careers from music.'
He continues: 'We’re grateful to this industry that’s given us so much and we hope the free week trial will inspire pupils and open their minds to what’s possible.’
The school will accommodate 100 pupils per year and will consist of a flagship course that will run parallel with the school year from September 2020, with the free week-long trial available from 20 April.
Each of the modules will last five weeks and every year, the course will be tailored to fit the demands of the industry. This ensures students will only ever learn what is relevant, making it more likely to place their music.
Upon completion, the students will have a high quality and varied portfolio of at least 30 pitch-ready tracks, real world experience working directly with a music library, a certificate and an invitation to join the Protege and Elephant Music Creative Family.
