Beatmaking starts here. Tactical hip hop, electronic, instrument programming, vocal production courses will get you producing fast! KITCHEN SKILLS COLLECTION Vocal Kitchen $300 * * active residency required Hip Hop Kitchen $300 * * active residency required Session Player Kitchen $300 * * active residency required Electronic Music Kitchen $300 * * active residency required Orchestral Kitchen $300 * * active residency required Soundtrack Kitchen $300 * * active residency required TIME TO COOK We are master-chefs: producers who don't need a recipe. But these short tactical classes are as close to a formula as you are going to get. You won't find these classes in a typical recording school. We will teach you genre-specific techniques, used by top producers, that deliver results. We thing these tools are important for everyone. Don't shy away from the orchestra if you are into hip-hop. You may need to create your own samples someday. If you are making music 'in-the-box', this is your opportunity to learn how to produce a great vocal with a fantastic vocalist. Learn how to approach a film-scoring gig or refine your drum programming so your parts sound like they were actually played by live musicians. * As with all our courses, if you book them separately from the rest of your package, you will be subject to an additional enrollment fee of $100 (including members).

Thank you, Donor Name We are so grateful for your generous donation of $0. Your donation number is #1000. You’ll receive a confirmation email soon.

Member and faculty donated scholarships are meant to shape the future of our craft. If you can't pay for Beat Kitchen, we still want you to apply. Scholarships Our mission is to shape the next wave of creative music-makers to reflect and preserve the values, passions, and skills that we hold dear. We understand there are systematic imbalances in the industry and we want to offer our community and our experience to everyone who would benefit by being a part of it. What this means is that even if you are unable to pay for our program, we still really want you to apply. As a team, we routinely donate into our scholarship pool and we make an attempt to open scholarship seats regularly in our labs. If you are interested in a scholarship seat in one of Beat Kitchen's music production programs, please tell us about yourself and which course you are interested in taking. Please take a moment to reflect upon our pricing, the length of the course and then how much you are reasonably able to pay. Our long-term goal is to be able to offer one or two subsidized seats in each lab (once we have enough students enrolled that we can do so). Tuition can be a particular barrier to students who are Black, Indigenous, racialized, gendered, disabled, Queer, trans, underrepresented, oppressed and minoritized. We want these voices in our community and we tend to direct scholarship hours to such individuals, but anyone for whom tuition is a barrier is encouraged to apply and 'pay what you can'. We also urge our existing community to consider donating time or money to help us make this dream a reality. Our scholarship program is self-funded with time that our community has lovingly donated. It is also subsidized by our generous partners and even by some of our students! We also ask that students who are able to do so consider donating (time or money) to redistribute wealth, skills, and our collective talents. Please reach out if you would like to learn how you can help! Working together, we can realize a dream — shaping an impactful, imaginative, transformative artistic future based on principles of creativity, empathy, and justice — for ourselves and for those in need!

While we have partnerships studios in a few key locations, our residents are distributed across the world. Having a school that focuses on small, intimate groups requires critical mass and it's difficult to maintain that in any given city. We are looking to grow, but in the meantime we only offer occasional in-person meetings and events. Be sure to check back frequently as our list of partners and partner cities is growing!
