Real Music Industry Training

At TRC Academy, we believe in more than just the art of music. We're here to teach you how to build a career, manage the business, and master the technical skills necessary to thrive in today's music industry. From understanding Pro Tools to securing sync licensing deals, we cover it all. Our program empowers creatives to not only make music but to make a living doing it.

Our first cohort just wrapped up, and we're excited to share their success! 49 students spent 5 months learning everything from how to run a recording session to how to file taxes as a freelancer. Under the guidance of Roy Studmire from Berklee College of Music, we were beyond impressed with what these talented individuals accomplished.
