Music Production & Sound Design Master Diploma

You can take this course without any prior musical experience. It is creative and practical in nature, so great grades are not required to enroll -- only a high school diploma or the equivalent. Point Blank instructors ensure that each student has a solid grasp of all the fundamental musical skills before moving on to more complex techniques.

Point Blank Music School is approved to operate in the state of California by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE). This means that our educational offerings meet minimum state standards and requirements. As part of these requirements all students must receive our official school Catalog and sign an Enrollment Agreement and the School Performance Fact Sheet for their program. Once these forms have been completed, you may make your tuition payment and reserve your place in the class! To receive these documents and begin the enrollment process for this program, or to ask any questions you may have, please call us at 323.282.7660 or contact an Admissions Officer via this form.

Classes can take place at one of the times shown below. Your classes will be scheduled before the start of each term. Call 323.282.7660 for details. In addition to classes, students are expected to schedule their own sufficient practical studio work each week. The facilities are open to you outside your lecture times, giving you valuable studio time to make your music and reinforcing the skills you learn in class. Please note there is only limited availability for evening slots.
