New Hip Hop Course at Point Blank Online

13/04/2010

Award-winning music school Point Blank has added a new Hip Hop course is taught on Logic to its online curriculum. The four week course is priced at £325 / $495 US and features unique one-to-one tuition from a pro music producer.

The course has been developed by multi platinum producer and remixer Paul Waller who has worked with major players including De La Soul, Gang Starr and Naughty By Nature. Paul tackles a range of production styles from old school masters like Pete Rock through to J Dilla, Timbaland and Kanye West.

Point Blank takes a unique approach to online learning. Having worked through a weeks worth of exclusive course materials, each student submits an assignment. In return, they receive a unique one-to-one feedback video (Direct Video Response™), in which a pro music producer analyses their track and offers technical and creative advice. It’s a fast track route to professional music production which has proved popular with students from all over the world.

"The whole experience was amazing! It is one of the best music courses I've ever taken” said Ann Hairston from New York.  Ann has toured with N’dea Davenport and Macy Gray and released music on Francois Kervorkian’s Wave label amongst others.  “Everything is presented and explained well. I've been using compression for years but after my video tutorial I finally got it on a whole new level. I was so sad when I finished my assignment and realized there wouldn't be another lesson waiting for me!”

In addition to one-to-one video feedback, tutors also host a weekly live Masterclass where students can discuss music industry topics, raise technical questions and share information. Course materials including video tutorials, project files, audio resources, DVR™ and detailed course notes are available to students for a full year from enrolment.

Class sizes are strictly limited and enrolment is now underway. If you would like to learn more then head to www.pointblankus.comwhere you can view a full summary of the courses and watch free sample videos.
