Small Class Sizes
Key Prodigyy, an alumnus of the audio engineering program, applauds our team and school for its exceptional instructors and hands-on learning approach:
Our small class sizes at F.I.R.S.T. Institute are a key reason we are one of the top recording arts schools in the area. They allow for personalized learning and direct interaction with the faculty, giving students like Key Prodigyy a chance to learn from industry veterans and carve out their place in the music industry.
Thomas Ryan, another Recording Arts graduate, also had much to say about our classes:
Instructors THAT CARE
Isaac Vazquez, another graduate of the audio engineering program, highlights the importance of learning from industry professionals, flexible scheduling, and diverse course content:
“Honestly, I have nothing but great things to say about this school. I have always had a passion for music. However, finding relevant knowledge out there is limited and varies in quality. The teachers at F.I.R.S.T. were all real-world veterans who provided real-world experience. Each course touches on an aspect that can open a different door for you. The scheduling is flexible and fair, like any other program; you get out what you put in.”

It’s all about balancing the needs of each individual student with a comprehensive program that teaches practical skills.

Unleashing Creativity Across Disciplines
Derik Corl shared his experience of growing his knowledge across various disciplines at F.I.R.S.T. Institute.
“Great hands-on experience in an array of career fields in audio practice. Solid instructors, staff, and courses. Going in with an already established understanding of recording arts, I gained a more solid structural foundation and application in all fields of study. I hope to have a foot in the door for studios in film, games, and overall music production/vocal performances.”
F.I.R.S.T.’s audio engineering courses not only cater to music enthusiasts but also to individuals aiming to venture into film, gaming, and other creative avenues. Regarding our interdisciplinary approach to education, another student, B G, says:
“Small classes and hands-on! If you are open to the many opportunities of this industry and thriving, this is the place to go. The staff is amazing. I can honestly say I’ve learned so much and gained more skills than I thought possible.”
Regardless of your program of choice, F.I.R.S.T. has something for everyone. Blake Willis says:
