"My life goal was to study Music Production abroad. SAE Institute gave me all the tools and confidence to work in any studio and talk to anyone in the industry. It has opened so many doors for me, from getting Namm Show tickets to job offers and also friends. I've learned to have all the control of a studio session and to take my production to the PRO level." Masters of Creative Industries student

"Attending SAE was a real treat. Being a woman in the music industry, I was tired of feeling like the men around me dictated all my production and conversations around it, and decided to attend SAE to uplift myself, my music, and hopefully other femmes in the industry. The course at SAE is really about how much you put into it, the teachers are amazing and willing to help you as much as you need along the way but you have to want it for yourself as well. I do feel like attending SAE gave me a really good base of understanding of music production and sound engineering, making me feel competent and knowledgeable in all areas of sound."
