Inspiring and Educating the Next Generation of Producers, Engineers, Creators

The world of audio education is changing. For the modern audio student, the “traditional” curriculum is not enough to compete in today’s music industry. Larrance Dopson (GRAMMY Award-winning producer/instrumentalist and CEO of the 1500 or Nothin’ production/songwriting collective), along with GRAMMY Award-winning producer and songwriter IZ Avila (half of The Avila Brothers), discuss what it takes to make it in today’s fast-paced music production world, and how these new needs have led some music educators and mentors to evolve their approaches to prepare their students for what they’ll encounter out in the real world, while inspiring and motivating these students to create their own opportunities.
