After my first term at Point Blank I asked to move to a longer program, and it was the best decision. I have learnt invaluable skills from composition to mixing, and from what I was producing previously, my tracks are now sounding polished and professional. The instructors were brilliant, knowledgeable and helpful. They cared and had passion about what they were teaching, which meant they focused on the small details within the courses, a.k.a. the golden nuggets that they have learned throughout their careers. They even gave help freely when needed outside of class. I am using every tool since leaving PB, they've given more than what I expected, and I believe this is due to the excellent instructors they have. My only issue (if it is one) I am now broke from all the gear I have bought since I have left! But it's all worth it - highly recommended! - Ben, Music Composition student
