Consistency leads to Growth
We always say the toughest questions come from our youth classes. We literally can think we know every aspect of a particular subject and boom 🤯 they ask a question that keeps us growing 💪🏽
Most folks don’t realize the Math that is involved in Music Production - and how it requires the students to learn music theory - that’s the magic of DJing & Beat Making. It’s a skill that can be taught at a young age that has many benefits in real life.
We hold Saturday classes for our younger students weekly and a New Semester begins right after the holidays!
Our Youth class is a dual class - students get 2 Classes for the price of one. They participate in a DJ Class for the 1st half of the semester and then Beat Making for the 2nd half.

Why should you choose FL Studio?
FL Studio software is second to none and is highly regarded throughout the production industry as some of the best synth VST’s on the market, being able to create rich and immersive sounds from the ground up.
I would like to emphasize that this is an efficient Digital Audio Workstation for producing high-quality loops, beats, and patterns.
The intuitive workflow using their native plugins make it one of the best options for beginners.
New Fall Semester begins at Music Theory Studios in September! Registration is Open Now!

Music’s power to provoke and unite has long been a double-edged sword. Whether for religious, political, or moral reasons, songs that challenge the status quo are often silenced.
Banning songs from the airwaves is one thing, but some nations have outlawed music entirely.
In 2024 it is literally a privilege to be able to create and make music legally in some countries.
How many of us take this Freedom for granted in the U.S. ?
It’s crazy when u think of it logically - Making Beats is literally a an act of rebellion in some countries. Respect ur Rights💪🏽

So you want to learn electronic music production but have no idea where to start? Maybe you’ve been thinking about upgrading to a better DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
If you’re looking to create music, record, DJ, or perform live, look no further than Ableton Live - this DAW has all the tools you need to become a successful musician.
Ableton Live is one of the biggest players in the DAW scene. It is the most used DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) in the world and almost 1 in 4 music producers (23.14%*) use Ableton Live as their primary music production software.
is the Lead Ableton Live instructor at MTS and he has an arsenal of information to share with students. Fall Semester is upon us and registration is open for hungry music producers seeking to grow & learn the secrets that YouTube doesn’t offer.

Most DJs or aspiring DJs come to us with little to zero experience. We like that - a cup already full can’t be poured into remember that.
.
.
Student DJs start out learning key basics that majority of DJs overlook. To master an event or get the crowd there are key factors that I teach to get you off the sidelines and into the DJ booth.
.
Currently our Intermediate Student DJs have been focused on scratching and yo they got some skills. Video of them to come.
.
.
New DJ Classes for MIX 101 & MIX 102 begin right after the holidays. You can control the narrative of ur life story and invest in a skill that can literally provide a side hustle income.

Think about it…

Allow me to introduce you to Jordan @ak_with_a_beam - this Music Producer started out at 9 years old taking classes at MTS. He started classes in 2010 and has shown such dedication, consistency and skill. In a matter of 2 years Jordan’s obsession with BeatMaking excelled and he took SEVERAL of our Music Production classes intensifying his understanding and knowledge. Fast forward to 2024 and Jordan has taught more than 300 classes to both Adults & Youth using the FL Studio DAW.
.
.
Over the years, the community of people using FL Studios to create beats for HipHop and Rap music has exploded. Many years ago, FL was known for being the DAW of EDM artists, but I must admit. Beatmaking has taken FLs popularity to totally new heights.
.
Some pros beat producers mention with FL Studio. Is that it’s very easy to get great-sounding beats with minimal effort and that the workflow is perfectly suited for the purpose. Some even attribute FL Studio to just making beats bang harder, which many like.
