In fall 2020, we introduced a brand new program to the Nimbus roster: our Music Production, Recording & Business Diploma Program. We developed this 12-month intensive course to fast track students into the music business, armed with an industry-ready portfolio and the skills to integrate into the workforce with confidence. Unlike traditional 4-year university courses, this condensed program gets you in industry shape in just 6 semesters.

Developing the next generation of leaders

Today’s competitive job market demands a new breed of music professional, one who is creative, adaptable, business savvy and self-driven. The structure of the Music Production, Recording & Business Program is designed to answer this demand, shaping students to be innovative and adaptable, to exercise critical thinking, collaboration and problem solving. Current students in the program will confirm, you get out what you put in.

What to expect

You don’t need a background in production to excel in the program. Your learning is built from the ground up, through real-world studio and project-based learning. Students have 24/7 access to our studios and hone their skills on state-of-the-art industry-standard equipment. At the end of the program you will graduate with a professional body of work and the fundamental technical capabilities necessary to enter the workforce. The program is divided into six semesters; you can find a full breakdown of each semester here on our website.

As industry-veterans themselves, our instructors have the experience to guide and prepare you for what to expect in the business. Our progressive and positive culture is a cornerstone of the Nimbus experience. You will be part of our music-obsessed community, immersed in a like-minded culture of peer-to-peer feedback, collaboration and support.

The curriculum

You will begin by developing the foundation of what’s important to be successful in the music business. The first semester introduces the physical basis of audio, the psychology of sound, analog and digital signal flow and concepts around recording. By the final term, you will have mastered the latest industry tools and technology, have an in-depth understanding of the business side of the industry and how to market yourself, along with specialized knowledge and experience in your specific area of interest.

You will graduate with a professional personal brand and demo reel, along with in-depth instruction in professional skills, including resume writing and building a business, to guide you from graduation into a career.

What current students are saying about the program

“I started with their new program 4 months ago after feeling as if I was in a block in my production knowledge. I have learned more in 4 months than my first few years in production…If you are looking to join this school, be prepared to work hard as it is intensive, but if you love it, it almost doesn’t feel like work in my experience. Teachers are all very friendly, just make sure to be vocal about any problems you are dealing with.”
