Free Workshops at Sound Collective
Spend two hours with a professional instructor in our NYC facility. No commitment, no cost, no prior experience needed.
Free Workshops are a single-day intro to the disciplines we teach, run on industry-standard gear in the same rooms our full-program students train in every day.
Whether you are sizing up a hobby, weighing a career move, or just curious about a new skill, our workshops are the simplest way to step inside Sound Collective and see if it is the right fit.
Free Workshops are designed to give you a real taste of how we teach, not a sales pitch. You will leave with a new skill, a sense of the space, and a clear idea of whether one of our courses, full programs, or online options is right for your next step.

Featured event

Music Production Workshop
Please RSVP to ensure you will be able to participate in this free workshop.
Production Basics is a free, hands-on 2-hour workshop that gives you a real introduction to making music from scratch. Hosted in our NYC studios, the session focuses on one core skill: building your first groove and loop. A professional producer walks you through how a beat actually comes together, from picking sounds to laying down patterns to shaping an idea into something that sounds like a track.
This is built to give you an honest read on whether music production is a craft you want to pursue further. Small-group format with guided instruction and open practice time. No DAW experience or prerequisites required. However, RSVP is required.

DJ Basics Workshop

DJ Basics is a free, hands-on 2-hour workshop that gives you a real introduction to what DJing actually involves.

A professional DJ walks you through the basics on industry-standard gear, then puts you behind the decks to try it yourself.
This is not a lecture or a feature tour. It is a genuine first session with real DJs, built to give you an honest read on whether DJing is a craft you want to pursue further. Small-group format with guided instruction and open practice time. No experience or prerequisites required. However, RSVP is required.
