Instrument Lessons & Pro Audio Training
Playground Productions Studio brings world music and culture to Indianapolis through instrument lessons & workshops. Instructor Adam Riviere conducts our lessons and workshops at our studio on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We also may be able to conduct some lessons via Skype.
We also offer in-house and remote pro audio training in the recording/sound editing software Apple Logic Pro 9 & 10 and Ableton Live (how to ReWire to Logic Pro, and other capabilities). Certified instructor Adam Riviere offers a variety of tips and tricks about these programs to help clients increase their workflow and creativity. In addition to training in the studio environment, we offer on-site tutoring in live recording/sound applications for churches, clubs, cafe/lounges and bars.
