Our Advanced Diploma<\/span> in Music Production and Sound Engineering<\/a> is an intensive, full-time programme. You will have a daily timetable of lectures with faculty as well as weekly lectures with industry experts. Classes usually take place Monday to Thursday with Friday\u2019s dedicated to workshops, masterclasses and other complimentary classes.<\/p>\n The campus is open 7 days a week, and we encourage you to use the studios and equipment as much as possible to make the most of your time at Abbey Road Institute Mumbai. This means you can be working and recording during the evenings and weekends in addition to your timetabled lectures and workshops, subject to the studios being available.<\/p>\n Abbey Road Institute is an educational initiative born out of the expertise and skills developed at Abbey Road Studios over the past 90 years. The school, our ethos and our approach to delivering the highest quality of education have been created through a partnership between the world’s most famous recording studio and Universal Music Group. Being part of the Abbey Road<\/strong> and Universal Music Group<\/strong> family means that we have a close relationship with the Studio, which leads to collaborations and opportunities for our students that aren\u2019t available anywhere else.<\/p>\n Abbey Road Institute Mumbai is the newest member of the global Abbey Road Institute Family. Officially licensed to offer the same programmes as the other international schools, our Mumbai Institute is the first Abbey Road Institute in Asia and aims to provide a world-class curriculum at an affordable rate for aspiring Indian musicians, producers, and engineers.<\/p>\n Abbey Road Institute Mumbai’s campus is inside one of India’s premier recording facilities, Bay Owl Studios. Facilitating the programme from within the Bay Owl ecosystem means that our students split their time between five studios, four production suites – two being Dolby Atmos enabled, an artist lounge and a tech lab. We continue to organise regular recording sessions and workshops in the main commercial Bay Owl Studios as well as masterclasses, events and other opportunities for collaboration and access to the music industry.<\/p>\n Our Advanced Diploma in Music Production and Sound Engineering is an industry-standard, professional training course, which gives you the knowledge, skills and access to professional networks that will help you progress in audio production and the music industry.
