Our upgraded V2 curriculum features free 6-week programs in Sound Engineering, Music Production, and Music Business Basics. Taught in the actual studios where Boston's music gets made.
We are rolling out TRC Academy V2. We’ve upgraded our curriculum to meet the current needs of the music industry. We built TRC Academy because there's a gap between what music programs teach and what the industry actually needs. We fixed that by running training inside working professional studios — the same ones Boston's independent music scene runs on.
The biggest addition to our V2 curriculum is a foundational Music Business Basics training. We believe every artist, producer, and audio engineer must take this. Making great music isn't enough—you need to know how to protect it.
The 101 is free — six weeks, no experience needed, taught by people currently doing the work. The 201 goes deeper for students who finish 101 and want to turn those skills into a real career or income stream. You don't have to commit to anything. Start with the 101 and see what happens.
How a recording studio actually works, what an audio engineer does, and how to get through a session without breaking anything.
Advanced engineering. Run complex sessions. Deliver a finished product that gets you hired again in the music industry.
Go from making beats to making music that sounds finished. Real workflows, real tools, real standards for music production.
Professional-level production. Release-ready tracks. Producing for other artists. Building a catalog worth owning.
The essential Music Business Basics class that every working musician should take. Stop losing money you've already earned by learning the legal fundamentals.
Advanced business strategy. Build a sustainable music career. Manage other artists. Turn what you love into something that lasts.
Not a classroom. 960 Massachusetts Avenue — TRC's professional recording studios where Boston's independent music gets made. You'll learn in the same rooms where the work happens.
Working engineers, producers, and music business professionals active in Boston studios right now. Not professors. Not consultants who used to work in music.
The 101 is six weeks, three hours a week. We're not trying to take over your life — just give you enough to decide whether you want to go deeper.
Enroll in a 101 — no cost, no experience required.
Next cohort starts soon.
