Master the Craft that Defines You!

Who is OIART For?

OIART is built for people who are serious about audio. Most of our students aren’t starting from zero.

They’re already:

  • recording 
  • producing 
  • creating
  • playing
  • or constantly thinking about music and sound


If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in here.

This is for people who speak in frequencies and live in the mix.

What a Year at OIART Looks Like.

This isn’t a typical college experience. Swap the textbook for a mixing console.



It’s 11 months of:

  • small class sizes with like minded creators 
  • extensive hands-on labs with real world projects
  • time in studios almost every day 
  • constantly working on sound 


You’re not waiting years to get into a studio. You’re in it right away. You get out of it what you put in.

The students who go all in here… are the ones who leave with real skills.


Curriculum

  • We have been crafting our curriculum for decades to provide you with the right skills to turn your passion into a rewarding career. We are constantly refining our curriculum to give you the skills required to make truly astounding audio productions and to surpass the expectations of the most modern employers.


Projects

  • Our real-world projects are developed in conjunction with employers and are designed to develop skills that are highly sought after in the audio industry. Write, compose, create and produce while being guided, critiqued and mentored by your instructors. By the time you’ve graduated, you’ll have a high-quality and professional employment-ready audio portfolio & demo reel showcasing your skills.

What You'll Actually Do.

Employers don't hire you for your test scores; they hire you for what you can produce. You’ll be:

  • recording artists 
  • mixing tracks 
  • learning signal flow on real consoles 
  • working through real-world audio situations


This isn’t theory first. You'll spend your time in elite studios working on real-world projects, building the exact, hands-on skills the modern creator economy demands.



We don’t change your sound. We give you the tools to amplify it.
