Posted on darren youngTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been working with Daniel for almost a year now and I only have great things to say. I joined because my entire life I thought that I was bad at singing and didn't have a loud voice. I joined because it was my goal to sing to my little girl as she grows up. By my second session Daniel helped break that belief for me and now I'm happily singing out loud in public and private for my family. The sessions are fun, funny, and focused on the things you actually need to work on to improve. If you ever believed you were bad at singing, sign up for classes. You'll be happy you did :)Posted on FreNziiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Starting can be terrifying. For me, Dark mountain music changed that to fear into excitement. If you’re looking for some old school “do, re, mi” class, look elsewhere. Seriously kicks ass!! Daniel is the man!Posted on DanielTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daniel (no relation) is an awesome teacher and I fully recommend Dark Mountain to anyone looking for voice lessons. Daniel knows how to break things down so they make sense, and he keeps things fun while helping you learn. I'm a way better singer than I was a year ago and it's all thanks to Daniel and Dark Mountain!Posted on Ivanna SamanoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Really passionate about music and easy to talk to. Very understanding of your schedule and tries to accommodate you anyhow he can. It’s been a pleasure learning how to play piano under his wing. Looking forward to the future!Posted on Don HuzarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chancé has been my vocal instructor for about a year and a half. She has been instrumental in my improvement. She is everything a good teacher should be: patient, persistent, positive, and fun. She pushes when she need to push and provides necessary feedback while cheering you on. Lessons have been great and I would recommend her as a vocal coach.Posted on Tiara AndersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chancé Snethun is a wonderful teacher. She is incredibly patient with my daughter who has ADHD. I would highly recommend her for voice lessonsPosted on Kristy GoodrowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter has been working with Chancé for almost a year and we cannot express how thoroughly impressed we have been with her! Our daughter has made significant strides vocally under Chancé’s tutelage. Chancé is knowledgeable, has a great connection with our daughter, and is a wonderful influence. She motivates, encourages and pushes her to expand her abilities while ensuring she continues to have a love to learn. We absolutely cannot recommend Chancé enough!Posted on Anajane AndersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

faq
What equipment and software do I need to get started with music production lessons?
All you need is an iPhone, iPad, or laptop (less than 5 years old). iPhones come equipped with GarageBand, while for other devices, there are numerous free or cost-effective subscription-based softwares. Accessories such as headphones, studio monitors, and MIDI keyboards can definitely enhance your experience and productivity but are optional. With passion, dedication, and practice, you have the ability to craft remarkable music productions, even with the most modest of equipment.
Do I need any prior musical experience or technical knowledge to take lessons?
Not at all! We welcome aspiring music producers of all ages and skill levels. Our production lessons are designed to cater to students at various stages of their journey, from complete beginners to advanced producers. Our experienced instructors can cover everything from the fundamentals of navigating software to advanced production techniques and even audio engineering. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to refine your skills, we’re here to support you on your creative journey.
How long does it typically take to see progress and improvement in my music production skills?
Your progress depends on many things like your engagement, how often you practice, what you already know about music, and how tricky the skills you’re trying to master are. While some students might start noticing progress in a few weeks, others may need more time to really see a big difference. Remember, just like any other instrument, music production is a journey of continuous growth, and every step forward, no matter how small, brings you closer to mastery.
What genres of music can I learn to produce through these lessons?
We understand that every student has unique musical interests and aspirations. Unlike most music schools, we empower you to choose the genres of music you want to explore and produce. Whether you’re passionate about EDM, hip-hop, rock, pop, jazz, or classical, our instructors are here to support your desired sound. We encourage you to play around, refine your production skills, and find your own unique sound. We’re excited to help you bring your musical visions to life.

WHY LEARN TO PRODUCE MUSIC?
CRITICAL LISTENING
Learning music production sharpens your listening skills by making you more aware of all the little details in sound, like its nuances, dynamics, and where it sits in space. This helps you keep getting better at hearing and understanding music.
SELF-EXPRESSION
Music production fosters self-expression through sound manipulation, allowing producers to convey emotions and ideas creatively. Producers can make music that truly represent who they are, forming real connections with listeners through their music.
PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS
In music production, dealing with challenges helps you become more resilient and creative, skills that come in handy beyond the studio. Producers tackle many challenges on a daily basis. This helps improve their problem solving skills in more than one aspect of life.
LEGACY BUILDING
Music production is a way to leave your mark, creating tunes that stick with people, shape culture, and inspire the next wave of musicians. Producers can make their mark on music history, ensuring that their influence lives on for generations.
