We invite you to Asheville North Carolina for an Ableton Live educational intensive of epic proportions! Ableton educator Anthony Thogmartin of Seed to Stage has created yet another deep immersion experience into cutting edge music and sound creation technology. This is designed to help you reach your highest creative potential and elevate your music career with actionable lessons and meaningful connections with like minded peers.
Enjoy a thoughtful blend of music production masterclasses taught by Anthony and other high end Ableton Pros. Connect and create with your peers in the nightly "groupshred" sessions. Here collaborations take place, meaningful feedback on your music is given, and 1 on 1 time with the teachers is provided. And then, at the end of the weekend, you can integrate the information by stepping out of your comfort zone and performing what you have created for the Seed to Stage showcase at the end of the weekend.

Each day at the Academy, there are 2 masterclass seminar style class sessions. The classes have been arranged so each student can choose their level of proficiency and thus chose which class they would like to attend. In the evening we bring it all together where we integrate what has been taught in a group environment called "Groupshred". During this, all students are setup together where they can collaborate and ask questions from the teachers 1 on 1 style. There will also be group discussions and group feedback during this time where students can listen to each other tracks through the large PA system.
