Serious Sound Sessions
Abbey Road Institute hosts a new series of Masterclasses
Abbey Road Institute Amsterdam is hosting new series of events with one purpose in mind: Take sound and the role of a music producer Serious. And we found the perfect name for this platform: Serious Sound Sessions!
Serious Sound Sessions is a new initiative all about sharing knowledge and inspiring experiences with passion for music, while supporting the firm belief that we are all learners AND teachers. Abbey Road Institute Amsterdam is partnering up with influential organisations and inspiring brands who share the same ideas and beliefs.
“Building a creative hub and establish a community where sharing knowledge and experience is facilitated and the principles of lifelong learning are supported.”
Serious Sound Sessions
This new platform and community are open to everybody with a music and/or songwriting mindset with the desire to grow in this field. So, if you are like-minded, a student or professional, working in music production and music business, this is your call.
What can you expect from Serious Sound Sessions?
- Inspiring Masterclasses hosted by Abbey Road Institute
- Inspiring live streams on Facebook and Youtube
- A community for like-minded students and professionals
- Exclusive content by professionals
So if you feel called to this new platform, and are open to learning from others and willing to share your ideas at the same time, we seriously encourage you to join the community. And to make it extra interesting: It’s free and monthly.
Why do we believe it’s so special? Basically, we want to do this for one reason: we believe in sharing, we like what we do and we want to connect with people that have the same mindset. It gives us the energy and inspiration to keep moving and growing: Lifelong Learning is the key to success.
