OUR FACILITIES
As a student with us, you’ll spend time learning, recording and developing your skills in our industry-standard facilities as well as participating in recording workshops and masterclasses at Bay Owl Studios with visits to other premium facilities. These take place at different stages of your studies, depending on the modules you’re working on.
Our facilities include:
3 premium recording studios (Studios A, B & C), two of which have professional-standard control rooms with attached recording booths, and the third is a stand-alone live room, that is also patched to the two control rooms as an additional tracking space if required.
We also have 2 additional indie and student friendly studios (D & E) with individual live rooms and a common control room which will be adapted to accommodate our new Tech Lab and Production Suite for the first term.
The Tech Lab is where your lectures will be hosted. It will be equipped with an individual workstation for each student and is complemented by a Production Suite, which students can book.
You will have access to the Institute’s facilities both as part of your timetabled teaching and outside of classes for independently managed recording, production and mixing. You can start your project in the studio and continue recording, editing and mixing on the workstations in the Tech Labs or the Production Suites. Our studios feature a wide array of software and hardware, allowing for various hybrid setups which are both practical and suitable for the modern-day audio production environment.

Nothing like this existed when I started out - having access to this kind of infrastructure, resources, and a structured global curriculum makes a huge difference. Students today are genuinely lucky to learn the right way, in the right environment.
Karan Kanchan, Music Producer
Access is everything. Great training builds great skills, and the networks you build often shape your career. Bringing a globally proven curriculum here comes at exactly the right time, especially when the industry needs more producers than ever.
Vasundhara Vee, Vocalist
Had an amazing time at Abbey Road Institute Mumbai. The fact that they do these sessions every week, with one-on-one interaction, gives students real, first-hand access to working artists and practical insights beyond theory. Incredible what they’re bringing to the city, especially with focus on the business side as well.
Gulraj Singh, Music Composer
I had a wonderful time conducting a workshop at Abbey Road Institute Mumbai. It was inspiring to work with such engaged students, and I truly believe the institute is doing a fantastic job of nurturing the next generation of music creators.
Shazneen Arethna, Vocalist
Great to see music and production schools in India reaching international standards. I highly recommend Abbey Road Institute Mumbai for anyone serious about recording engineering and music production. I'm having a great time here at the Abbey Road Institute, Mumbai, one of the best schools of its time.
Ehsaan Noorani, Guitarist
Number one is that it's Abbey Road Institute Mumbai. Its arguably one of the most prestigious programs, and I also feel like, the resources that are available for the students are, you know, top of the line. So I ask them to exploit every single resource available to them because this is not gonna happen again.
