Immerse yourself in an engaging educational journey through a fully-interactive online music studio where you compose original beats as you go. Building Blocks combines music theory, ear training, and DAW fundamentals into one seamless experience we call Beat Composition.

Say goodbye to the chaotic pinball machine of disjointed YouTube videos, courses, and trial-and-error practice. Say hello to Building Blocks.
