What our students say
★★★★★

"I left every session feeling more confident and less like I was just pushing buttons and hoping I was right. I genuinely felt like I was learning the secret sauce without having to go through tons of trial and error."

"I was pretty apprehensive about trying to learn a new program like Ableton. A lot of the YouTube tutorials I found online weren't really straight to the point, beating around the bush and I felt like I was wasting my time. So what initially drew me into this course was the outlined structure and the face to face learning opportunity with someone relatable from NZ. That was a huge selling point for me.

Jumping into the course, I liked how each session gave just the right amount of info without feeling overwhelming. The content itself felt specific to me and where I'm at in my producer journey right now. As someone who relies heavily on structure and clear processes, I was impressed with the way the course was laid out. You gave us enough to digest and feel accomplished with what we had learnt.

Loved how you shared examples of workflows, thought processes, plugins and how to make the most of them, and showed how I could apply those same ideas and concepts myself. The online content hub with the summary and key tips, and little bits of homework helped me lock in what I had learned and was a great point of reference when I got stuck. Having access to the session recordings was huge for me too as someone who's always on the go.

Overall the course felt really well thought out, well planned, and genuinely helpful as a beginner producer. Definitely more than enough value for money too. Shoutout to BRIGSY and the NLP crew. Excited to keep levelling up and start bringing my ideas to life."

"This course genuinely feels like it saved me years of trial and error. I not only learned a huge amount but thoroughly enjoyed the experience and felt treated like a peer rather than a beginner."

"I recently completed the 6-week beginner music production course with Next Level Production and can't recommend it highly enough.

I'm a DnB DJ and have been playing gigs and festivals for the past three years, but I'd never produced my own music before, even though it always felt like a natural next step. I'd previously tried learning on other DAWs and found them frustrating and unintuitive, which made it hard to progress on my own.

Max and Elliot created a course that took me from knowing nothing to feeling confident building full tracks. Watching Max build and tweak songs live while explaining the process was incredibly helpful, and Elliot's technical knowledge added huge value throughout the course.

Both were extremely friendly and patient. Even as a complete beginner asking lots of questions, everything was explained clearly, and they were always happy to go off on helpful tangents when I wanted to understand things in more detail.

Although my classmate focused more on house music and I'm into DnB, all the content was relevant across genres and added massively to my learning.

Huge thanks to Max, Elliot, and the whole Next Level Production team. I'd absolutely recommend this course to anyone wanting to get into music production."

"The team at NLP should be the first people any aspiring producer calls. After completing the beginner production course you'll have the skills and knowledge to jump into a DAW with confidence. This saved me months of trial and error."

"The team at NLP should be the first people any aspiring producer calls. After completing the beginner production course you'll have the skills and knowledge to jump into a DAW with confidence. I feel this saved me months of trial and error. No dealing with misinformation on the internet. The team are great at explaining complex concepts that really land and have practical applications to the workflow of a project. Finally the people are what really make NLP special, the drive, attitudes and vision make it such an enjoyable team to work with."
