Underdog Electronic Music School

regardless of the curriculum, I'd say that Oscar might be one of the best teachers I've ever had in my life. I'd say what sets this course (And Oscar as its instructor) apart from anyone else, is how in every single step of the way, there is such a heavy emphasis on the perspective of the listener, and more importantly on the perspective of the dancer. Oscar continuously brings us back to what a dancer might be thinking during each part of the song, what a person on the dancefloor may want, need, what they might sit through and what might bore them, an absolutely crucial aspect of electronic music that is way too often absent from every instructor. this course made me a better producer, but it also made me a better listener of music, it gave me so much capacity for wonder and imagination, provided me with so much energy to delve into everything and experiment with enough instructions not to get lost, but enough head room not to let my work get out of hand. I can NOT recommend this course enough.

I always thought learning the basics would be boring but I’m having a blast. You’re a great teacher, Oscar.

This course is beautifully concise and thorough. For beginners or advanced intermediates alike, I highly recommend this course. The layout of the curriculum that guides you through so many important topics is likely the most optimal path through this vast field. I could have benefited so much from a course like this over 20 years when I was working on my music degree. I took this course to solidify my confidence and get a new perspective in things I generally knew but wasn't sure how to apply them in the nuances in electronic music. Bravo, Oscar, on delivering this excellent course to the world!

I was slightly indecisive about taking this course as I had already enrolled on a few other courses in the past but just couldn't get into their style. However, Oscar really takes things from the beginning and gives a thorough explanation as well as including practical exercises (including homework) so that you build up your knowledge along the way. There have definitely been 'Aha' (not the 80's pop group) moments and also times where I have come away very excited about the step forward that I have taken in my understanding and how this will affect future compositions. I'd recommend this course to anyone who wants structure to their learning so that they'll be able to make their own tracks with a degree of understanding, and also approach more advanced electronic music YouTube tutorials without being totally lost. This is a great course, it would be fantastic for Oscar to develop a more structured advanced course in the future for those that benefited from the Foundation that want to continue to learn in this fashion. I'd pay for it for sure.

Best Ableton Workshop Ever!!!!! Oscar's the best!!!

I started from scratch, meaning no prior knowledge of DAW or music theory for that matter. I'm only half way in and I have to say that I've lost count how many times that I've felt like I got my money's worth. I have never in my life sat for seven hours straight to learn something. Oscar makes everything very easy to understand and teaches you things you never even knew you needed to know. Oscar is truly an amazing teacher and everything that I feared before deep diving into this has been squashed away. Thank you, Oscar!
