After a decade of guiding my students to turn their music passions into successful careers, I created C-Note Academy to save YOU the time, energy, and heartache of trying to figure it all out for yourself. (Believe me when I say that I’ve been there, and I get it.)
In my jam-packed, no-fluff courses, you’ll learn pro-level engineering, composition, music theory, and more through video lessons that are uniquely accessible, aesthetically engaging, and most importantly, immediately actionable.

Frequently Asked
Questions
How are these courses different from all the online tutorials out there?
Glad you asked! There is certainly a wealth of material available online. But here’s the problem: Much of it is taught by uncertified and unqualified basement technicians who don’t understand YOUR market or the clientele you want to attract. Additionally, the material they’re working with is usually irrelevant and not aligned musically with the projects you want to work on. In short, they just won’t speak your language. C-Note Academy courses are tailor made to give you precisely what you need to build the career you want.
Can I view the course again once I’ve completed it?
Yes. Your enrollment entitles you to 3 months of unlimited access, during which you can watch the lessons as many times as you need as you incorporate the techniques.
What if I don’t have internet access?
We’ve got you covered! Please reach out to find out about our USB leasing plan, available for select courses/bundles.
Are there any kol isha concerns?
Nope! We only use material from live sessions that we’ve done here in the studio for the bestselling album Miracles ll, sung by Yehuda Kirschner. All of the material featured is original and appropriate. There is no female singing content featured.
Do you offer email support if I have a question?
Your enrollment in the Pro Engineer course entitles you to one month of email support, as well as project feedback. In addition, you can also purchase one of our bronze, silver, or gold add-on packages, which offer a range of additional support options as well as bonus content.
There is no support offered for our Pro Composer and Pro Music Theory courses, which allows us to offer those courses at a lower price.
I’ve already been doing this professionally for a while. How will I benefit from a course like this?
Great question! If you’ve started recording or composing on your own and are self-taught, chances are you are operating with the bare minimum level of understanding and are mostly guessing your way through. Just imagine how far you’d go if you knew the step-by-step process and concepts to continue expanding your expertise! You deserve to feel empowered and confident. That’s what these courses will give you. More then any pricey gear or plug in bundles, investing in your training will offer maximum returns.
Do I need any musical background for these courses?
Although it’s always a plus, you don’t need any note-reading skills or professional music training. If you’re at the very beginning of your music journey, our Pro Music Theory course is a great place to start, as it will give you a strong musical foundation for our other courses.
What DAW do you use when teaching the course and do I need to have the same one?
The course is taught using Pro Tools. Using Pro tools will allow you the most optimal experience however because we focus heavily on the fundamentals of the recording it is adaptable across any DAW.
