Chuka Nnabuihe2024-08-26Shyan Simpson is a fantastic teacher! 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!Don Huzar2024-07-27Chancé 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.Tiara Anderson2024-07-23Chancé Snethun is a wonderful teacher. She is incredibly patient with my daughter who has ADHD. I would highly recommend her for voice lessonsKristy Goodrow2024-07-23Our 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!Anajane Anderson2024-07-04I am thrilled to share my experience with my teacher, Lyra. She is amazing and a truly great teacher. Lyra has a wonderful personality and always listens to my needs, making our lessons engaging and productive. I feel fortunate to have her as my teacher and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a supportive and effective learning experience. Shes also a talented artist!!!!!Tara Bohle2024-06-06My 3 kids and I have been with Dark Mountain Music for almost 2 years now and absolutely love it! I'm always referring friends so I figured it's about time I left a review! lol The instructor is amazing and makes each lesson engaging and enjoyable. We take singing, piano and guitar lessons. Plus most recently music production. It's great that we can add or change instruments as we go without having to change studios or companies etc.. because they teach them all here. I also like that he comes to us for lessons instead of me having to drag my kids around. Super convenient that way. I've heard from many friends who are with other companies, that their younger kids don't enjoy piano lessons cause they're forced to work on classical music, but you get to play what you love here. You pick the songs to work on. Like my boys are learning video game music and current alternative music. Which is really cool to see and hear converted to the piano. I can't ever see us leaving Dark mountain music!Amy B.2024-03-24I have been taking singing lessons with the absolutely amazing Julia for almost a year now and my experience has been wonderful! Julia is a fantastic teacher. I have grown so much in my time with her and I'm looking forwarded to continuing to push my vocal boundaries with her help. I recently started piano with her as well and I'm loving every minute. Julia is professional, patient, and most importantly, inspiring. My lessons are my favourite day of the week.Mehak Kaul2023-10-18My experience with Dark Mountain Music’s Ukulele lessons has been the best! My instructor’s super passionate, skilled, and supportive. I highly recommend their lessons for anyone seeking to improve their musical skills!!Louise MacPherson2023-08-22I am very happy with this company. I have Julia Bolden she is a very good person she is patient and very knowledgeable. I am retired and I very appreciative of her patience with me. Thank you Julia.Eric Huang2023-08-21My daughter has been taking vocal lessons with Chancé Snethun for about a month and loves it.

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.
