Abbey Road Institute offers an intensive 12-month Advanced Diploma of Sound Production, designed in the hallowed halls of Abbey Road Studios London. Their philosophy is that technical mastery in music production can only be achieved through intensive practical training. Abbey Road Institute’s program has been designed and constructed by the production staff at Abbey Road Studios London and is based on the in-house training that Abbey Road has been providing to it’s own staff for over 80 years – the program is more than just an audio engineering course, it’s also an intensive mentorship in music production. By imbuing students with a world view of the 21st century music production industry, Abbey Road positions them to lead from the forefront of the sector by forging their own reputation and brand. Producers find themselves more often on a laptop than in a studio, and music is usually consumed through a streaming service rather than a record store. With the weight of Universal Music Group and Abbey Road Studios driving our programs, any change to the social, consumer, or industry landscape is almost instantaneously transferred into our educational programs, meaning that students are always one step in front. Our guest lecturer and master class presenters have worked with artists as diverse as U2, INXS, Eskimo Joe, The Sex Pistols, De la Soul, Madonna, The Whitlams and on and on. Being Abbey Road, we have unprecedented access to the biggest names in the Australian and global music industry and ensure that our students have regular access to the staff at the cutting edge of professional production.
