My experience with Soundskool started in 2019 and was generally a positive one. Accepted with little skill in production, their level 2 course furthered my musical knowledge and understanding that was needed to start pursuing my dream career within the industry. Furthermore, there’s a wide range of opportunities at Soundskool, with access to professional facilities and industry-standard equipment and software.
Teachers are knowledgeable and will answer any questions to the best of their ability. Simon, Mike, and Matt helped me with my production the most (big up). However, it is obvious that all members of staff believe in their students; wanting each individual to succeed in everything they do. Although a small organisation, the support given by staff was unimaginable - helping steer me towards my musical goals.
Overall, Soundskool was a brilliant experience where I personally met loads of great people, while also gaining knowledge that can be applied to any future professional environment. I believe students interested in any genre of music or career path, whether it be production or performance, will benefit from their time at Soundskool.

“The dedication and love that all of the staff have for their students are next level. They are more than just a school. It is one of the few music colleges in London that really care about their learners and they get results! 2 of the previous students that I taught are now producing for the likes of Drake, Busta Rhymes & Dizzee Rascal. They make real actual change in young learners life’s, and in my mind they are the best music college in the country."

Parent Testimonials
“SoundSkool has had an amazing impact on our son. In the past he lacked self confidence and really struggled at school, but over the last year he has transformed into a confident, enthusiastic student. He has learnt real, hard skills that will see him through his personal life as well as future employment. SoundSkool has helped him to look to the future with his head held high.”
“Our son struggled with school from an early age, his attendance was 30 percent and it was an ongoing battle for him. He became unwell with a very serious autoimmune disease and had to leave mainstream school and attend a hospital school. He became very low and his only solace was making music. He applied to SoundSkool, auditioned and got in. Since then he has gone from strength to strength, producing music and growing in confidence and happiness. The school has provided excellent support and is helping him develop into a confident young person. His attendance is now over 90 percent! What a turnaround. I can’t recommend the school enough!”
“Attentive to the needs and goals of the student as well as individual backgrounds. SoundSkool has professional teachers with diverse expertise and industry experience, allowing aspiring artists/producers to acquire real skills essential for a career in the music industry. Tutors are approachable and supportive allowing pupils to gain confidence in an unrestricted environment for music making. Small classes and a diverse student community has opened up opportunities to collaborate and share ideas.
SoundSkool to me has succeeded to embrace a modern perspective on teaching methods while still recognising the importance of traditional values.”

“SoundSkool has had a transformative effect on our students, helping them to unleash their creative talent. As well as teaching our students specific music creation and production software skills, SoundSkool has helped to embed broader collaborative skills and fostered a collaborative and caring spirit within the boys who participate. The programme has helped build a sense of worth, value and achievement for all of the students who take part. Our teachers have regularly observe students who struggle to engage with learning in lessons, grow in confidence and enthusiasm for learning when engaging with SoundSkool, sometimes skipping breaks and lunch so that they can spend more time creating music and helping each other out. We have seen students flourish and develop and even those boys who felt that they have had no musical talent or interest have been coaxed and encouraged and become avid SoundSkool devotees.
SoundSkool also provides our students with a platform to articulate their feelings and develop a more positive world view, which is of such importance in these challenging times. The SoundSkool team, led by Max are consummate professionals, who help the boys with their musical ambitions in a warm, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and engaging manner. One of our students had one of his tracks selected as 'track of the month' on the site, out of the multitude of other submissions. He told us that it was the proudest moment in his life. You can't get a higher endorsement or accolade than that!

“What more can I say about Simon Gordon and SoundSkool? The impact that they have had on the community and music industry has been beyond incredible. They have created some of the most amazing memories and lessons that anyone can ask for, and they are a true inspiration to this generation.”
“Soundskool is an amazing institution, not only looking at the academic aspects of music but also the ethical, environmental, and social factors within the music industry that these young people will be stepping into. The young people who go through Soundskool come out very ready for the terrain of the music industry. Working with SoundSkool we absolutely love the fact that they go above and beyond for their students and very much have their best wants and needs at heart. I would recommend SoundSkool to any young person who wishes to really get involved in music.”
“Partnering with SoundSkool has been an absolutely brilliant experience for us here at Charanga/VIP Studio Sessions. Seeing the impact of their work on young people, especially those in the most challenging circumstances has been incredible. We have seen things like young people who had been all but written off engaging with and getting a place on a course in mainstream music education, as well as multiple track of the month competition winners coming from online work with at risk young people during lockdown! Incredible stuff!
