TO BE A MASTER
We’ve set aside a major proportion of your time at LAAMP for hands on music making. The input you receive through mentors and lectures is there to guide, inform and inspire your current project, as well as your overall skills and creativity. So whether you thrive in a big studio surrounded by talent, or prefer solitude with your laptop or guitar to make magic, we’re ready for you.
INSPIRE & CHALLENGE
EACH OTHER
Being a team player is instrumental to success in music, and this knowledge penetrates all our efforts at LAAMP. Collaboration is placed at the heart of everything. Artists, songwriters and producers mingle and work together. You will constantly be in sessions with others writing songs together, collaborating on productions and performing together.
HITMAKERS & INDUSTRY
PROFESSIONALS
You will hear & meet world class creators, giving you a flow of new impulses. The mentors will conduct sessions with smaller groups as well as addressing a wider audience, depending on the subject at hand.
Our Curriculum
Every week we assign groups to work together and write a song following an assignment guideline provided by our visiting guests. Students have the week to complete the prompt and write a great song. The following week, they are given feedback from our Executive Director and/or Stargate in front of the entire class. Over the course of the year, we will have dedicated workshops focused on songwriting, production, recording, mixing, publishing, recording deals, performance coaching, choreography, vocal production / development, media training, creative direction/branding, and pretty much everything else you need to learn about the music business. The goal at LAAMP is to immerse you in a community surrounded with knowledge and guidance in artist development, music production and music business education.
Mentorship + Studio
Kick off your week on Monday morning with our weekly playback sessions, where students will be presenting the song(s) from the prior work week. Mondays and/or Tuesdays will also feature a workshop from a world class producer / songwriter mentor, who will share knowledge and wisdom from their experience as a creative in the music business, followed by a Q&A with the students. In some instances, the mentor will also go around the pods to spend more personal time with the students, conducting sessions and workshops in smaller groups. Monday evenings are intense and can go very late, followed by more consistent studio play through Tuesday.

Workshop + Studio
Wednesdays and Thursdays are reserved to conduct music business workshops in the morning and/or lunch-time, where students get real-time knowledge and education on the current music business, including tips/tools of the trade, and overall information and inspiration. Industry professionals include top A&R executives from major and independent labels, music publishers, film/tv synch executives, music managers, entertainment lawyers, touring agents, media training specialists, publicists, marketing/branding executives, digital strategy and social media specialists, photographers, performance training experts, choreographers, and creative directors.
The work doesn't stop with learning, as theses days are also spent in the studio recording and writing. Students will spend a minimum of 6-8 hours in the studio each day, sometimes up to 8-12 hours a day.
Fridays are spent cooling down, where we host a fitness Friday at a local gym, followed by more writing and recording in our studios. You can also spend your time rehearsing or creating content on our sound stage or one of our dedicated common areas. The creativity, community and inspiration to collaborate flows endlessly at LAAMP.
