Where to learn electronic music production in Singapore

 How to choose where to learn electronic music in Singapore

      Thinking of diving into the world of electronic music production or DJing in Singapore? With various options available, choosing the right place to hone your skills can be daunting. This guide will help you navigate the decision-making process.

Your Musical Interests

Do you want to learn from instructors who understand the music genres that you like, and can help you learn how to make music in those styles? Look for instructors who are willing to do this, instead of boxing students into generic styles of music. The instructors at Pop Studio Academy have been "praised for their knowledge across various genres".

Learning Objectives

Do you want to compose and produce tracks, perform live, or just explore? Look for a school with different courses catering to different needs. Pop Studio Academy provides a range of courses:

  • Intro to Music Production: 90-minute session for anyone curious about music production but unsure which course to take.
  • Basic Music Production: 6 hours (across 3 sessions) for absolute beginners who want to learn how to produce their very first complete music track from scratch.
  • Advanced Music Production: 6 hours (across 3 sessions) to "Expand your music production skills and elevate your productions to the next level".

Are you aiming for personal enrichment or creative experimentation? Look for instructors who can adjust to your needs, not just give information. Pop Studio Academy instructors have been praised for "their ability to customize sessions for individual students" and "encouragement to explore personal music interests".

Instructor Credentials

Do you want to learn from industry professionals, published artists, or certified trainers (e.g. Ableton Certified trainers)? Pop Studio Academy has instructors who are Ableton Certified Trainers, published artists, professional studio producers and audio engineers, and composers for TV and trailers, who can bring real-world experience and mentorship, not just technical skills.

Relevant Software

Do you want to learn industry-standard DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation software) like Ableton Live or Logic Pro? Ensure the academy focuses on the software you intend to use or that is widely adopted in the industry. Pop Studio Academy offers instruction in popular DAWs, preparing you for professional environments.


Duration & Format

When are you available: Evenings? Weekends? Intensive workshops? Or do you need modular flexibility? Look for bite-sized learning paths - like the 6-hour modules offered by Pop Studio Academy - if you're fitting your learning into a busy schedule. This flexibility allows you to learn at your own pace and integrate it into your lifestyle.

Learning Style

Do you learn better from hands-on sessions, or do you prefer theory-heavy lectures? A good learning environment will cater to various learning styles. Pop Studio Academy's personalized approach and emphasis on practical application make it suitable for hands-on learners.

Community & Networking

Does the course offer student showcases, club visits, or connections to the local music scene? Is there potential to collaborate with other producers or DJs? Pop Studio Academy offers a strong community can enhance your learning experience and open doors for future collaborations and opportunities.
