COURSES
At SLDP we pride ourselves on offering comprehensive courses in Music Production, DJing, and Music Business. Music Production covers everything from the fundamentals of sound, music theory and basic production, to sound design, mixing and mastering. By offering this holistic learning experience, SLDP equips you with the necessary tools and knowledge to conquer the music industry, whether you’re an aspiring producer, a budding DJ, or an entrepreneur ready to navigate the music business landscape. Our passion lies in empowering our students to break through boundaries and achieve unparalleled success in their musical endeavors.
All of SLDP’s core courses are 6 months long, and combine weekly in-studio education, workshops, in-studio practice time (free of charge for students), online Discord channels and regular student practice outside of class.
For production courses, students are required to have a computer (laptop preferred), headphones, software and sound source (Splice recommended). For DJ courses – headphones, computer (for preparing music) and a thumb drive are required. The majority of DJ students will use their student discount to purchase a controller that they can use to practice at home, and then learn on the industry standard Pioneer equipment at SLDP.
Between the Wasatch, Kings Peak and Alta Rooms, SLDP has a range of industry standard equipment for producing and performing music. Students have access to this equipment, but it’s also recommended to have the basic requirements at home to practice on your own.
SLDP is happy to provide certificates of completion upon request. Our students are looking to build a fanbase, following and career producing and performing music. They’re entrepreneurs, and their own boss. For this reason, there are no qualifications, degrees or certifications needed. Your resume is the music you make and the way you perform!
No experience necessary! We have both courses that are designed for those brand new to DJing and Music Production, and courses designed for those with experience.
Music Production and DJ classes range from 3 – 5 students, and the majority of sessions contain 1 – 3 instructors. This student to instructor ratio is unheard of at the majority of colleges and competing schools.
You can start by submitting a free application at SLDP.com/apply. A coordinator will reach out to and setup studio tour! SLDP has a certain number of time slots throughout the week available for Music Production and DJ classes. When a current class finishes, we take current applications and start new classes. Classes start based on availability, so we often see classes starting monthly / bi-monthly. Ask an SLDP coordinator for the next open seats!
SLDP courses are built on specific curriculum with a specific set of learning outcomes, but it is not 100% rigid. For example certain classes might have interest in learning specifically how to recording and process vocals, while some may not. We can take note of specific requests, and make sure to schedule workshops covering specific topics.
SLDP classes progress and move together no student left behind. If additional help is needed, it’s no problem to schedule that before, after or outside of class time.
Discord allows US to maintain communication with students well beyond the day they complete a course!
Our instructors have a combined century of experience in the topics we teach!
