We didn’t build this to be another "sit and get" lecture series. The MusicFirst Academy was created by educators, for educators, because we know exactly what it’s like to have a classroom full of students and a software suite you’ve barely scratched the surface of. Whether you are looking for software specific training or broader professional develpment, we provide the practical, asynchronous training you need to feel confident and inspired again.
Choose from micro-learning courses to long format ones.
Learn in short, manageable lessons: Most lessons within each course are designed to fit into small pockets of time, even between rehearsals.
