Music college

When I heard of OIART I originally went simply because I would be done in a year, but by the end of it I wanted to stay for 3 more. I’ve never had staff more invested in my success than at OIART and on top of that I’ve never felt better equipped to enter into the working world. Thank you so much for the year, if you guys ever need help feel free to reach out whenever.

J’ai suivi plusieurs cours de chant au Studio C et j’ai vraiment apprécié mon expérience. Mon professeur savait reconnaître mes points forts et m’aidaient à corriger mes points faibles. Elle savait me donner du solfège quand j’en avais besoin et pouvait rapidement trouver des chants intéressants dans ma tonalité. C’était un cours et un professeur dynamiques. De plus, j’ai vu un réel intérêt de la part de tout le personnel afin que je réussisse un chant lors du concert de l’école. Je remercie tout le personnel d’avoir en tout temps gardé le sourire ☺

I enjoyed my kid performing that night. She gained much more confidence. Thank you VISM

I went to Pixel Blue in 2021 and took audio engineering. I graduated from MacEwan University in the Bachelor of Music a few years ago and decided to continue to develop my skills. The program was very different than anything I took in the past, which like anything, could be good or bad.First the instructors. Umesh and Troy were great. Umesh has a lot of experience in the music industry and have worked with different labels and studios, so it was helpful learning from and the perspective from someone with industry experience. He has some wild stories. Both are pretty easy-going and easy to approach and talk to. They checked in often on our progress, both as a class and in our one on ones, and made sure we were always understanding the concepts, theories, and assignments. If you’re putting in the time and effort into the work, they will do all they can to set you up for success. For me, it included reaching out to their personal network to help find you opportunities in the industry. With that being said, they won’t hold your hand or coddle you through the program. I appreciated this approach but could see how some students could find it difficult. I still keep in touch with them whenever I need feedback or some help with things I'm working on.Next, the audio engineering program itself. The course content was thorough and there were a lot of concepts, strategies, and technical training that weren't covered in other programs I took, that I found useful. One thing I found very helpful is how Umesh covered the business side of the music industry and “how it all really works” (in his words lol). Most people think that so long as you’re good, you’ll make it, which is usually not the case. He goes into deep details on how the perfect recipe for success is a combination of skills, perseverance, and most importantly, personal branding and the ability to market and sell yourself. He goes through practical ways to develop these skills and had us work on projects in class that focused on this.The program is taught online, which worked out for me because I work almost full-time and class times was a bit more flexible. I met up with some of my classmates in-person after hours but would have been nice to see them a bit more in-person while in school. With Covid restrictions being over though, I could see how a lot of students would rather be in-person though. I paid $16k for the program (I applied for a thousand dollar scholarship on their website) which I found to be a bit steep but honestly it was well worth it.Overall, I’m happy with my time here and would recommend them for anyone looking to put in the effort to develop or improve your skills in audio engineering. There are a few different schools in the city, so I would recommend checking them all out before registering.

I graduated from the Digital Audio Production program back in 2020 and I am seriously warning all future students not to go into this money trap of a program. This program is $16000 for 5 months of instruction and the quality of education I got was laughable. The $16000 for 5 months (3.2k a month) should of been the first red flag but I blatantly ignored it for whatever reason.My classes started right when the pandemic started so they were moved to online classes, one of the main reasons I chose Pixel Blue was that it was in person but the Instructors reassured me that the quality of education will be the same online, boy were they wrong.Over the 5 months I practically watched low quality YouTube videos in my bedroom for an hour on how to use plugins then had 1 weekly zoom meeting to checkup" on how everyone was doing with things. The "homework" was word documents that were probably typed up last minute and the mixing projects were just from some website that had the stems of a track unmixed (also I know its music taste but it was some of the worst/weirdest music I've heard

What a tremendous experience! We saw first-hand how Elite Music Academy understands how best to teach our daughter both piano and guitar. Their technical aptitudes with a genuine approach to what works best gave us everything our child needed to become a confident and happy musician. Thank you Elite!

Best place for learning music in Richmond, bar none.

Excellent training for kids

Literally the greatest experience I have ever had. So many opportunities and they teach you everything you need to know. Teachers are right there if you need help with anything, everyone is friendly, professional and honest. They really are preparing you with real life scenarios. No bs courses, labs and practical exams are meant to simulate interviews in the field.. Ive made so many great friends and I’ve still got a whole 4 and a half months to go. If you’re choosing between this school and another, this is the one to go for.
