While our online approach helps alleviate costs, we absolutely still offer physical studio time at an incredibly reduced rate for students that want to experience in-person sessions and techniques. Our online curriculum includes solo & group remote sessions from the comfort of your homes, though we also offer physical studio time packages at an even further reduced rate for remote students. This allows the student to produce at a studio remotely from their home while musicians are hired to come in to the location and perform for them.

Local area students in the Toronto, ON area (Canada) are welcome to purchase studio time in order to perform their final projects in a physical studio environment. An instructor and/or studio assistant is always present during these sessions to help make your time most efficient. During initial sessions, practical class content is reviewed with an instructor while setting up real world environments. As sessions move on over time, the student is shifted into leading the sessions as the instructor/assistant is in attendance to keep things moving if needed.

Studio time can also be purchased by remote students at an even further reduced rate. While this may seem counter-intuitive, it allows our remote students another option for project work. Local Toronto area musicians are hired for these sessions and an instructor and/or assistant is always physically present in the studio as well. The online student attends the session remotely, with cameras setup throughout the studio space. This allows online students the ability to produce the session from afar while also working remotely with the instructor/assistant to be deeply involved with the setup and technical aspects. Extra time and patience is given by the local team to help answer any and all questions the online student has to increase their real world experience.

We also offer 4 to 8 hour group workshops led by an instructor at 'The Recording Factory' studio every few months. These workshops are open to both students and the general public at $100-$150 per in person ticket or $50-$75 per remote attendance. The instructor explains in studio techniques and performs them in real time to demonstrate their application. Questions will be answered in real time for all in attendance.
