Wow. Incredible.
I just completed the Composing for Video Games MA course. All I can say is WOW. This is my second online masters degree (the first thru a different university in the US). The course content is awesome and regularly updated, the staff are all incredibly talented working professionals. The regular webinars are insightful and interesting and you always leave better than when you got there. To top it all off, the way that TSE has made a community of learners from literally all over the world feel so small and tight knit is truly something remarkable. I would say I am sad to be leaving, but there let graduates hang around after they finish and they maintain access to future webinars and course material after they finish. I cannot express enough the value of what you get with Thinkspace. It is second to none. My expectations were far exceeded. To anyone considering joining the Thjnkspace community: do it. I promise you won’t regret it.
I am a masters student
I am a masters student, I have also been through several of the short courses. The short courses are concise, well presented and bring you up to speed in a range of different production and music theory techniques. I have completed an online masters before with a different company and had no interaction with any of the staff on the course, and they didn’t produce their own material. This environment is far more interactive. The 121’s with industry professionals have been particularly useful, the peer reviews (where your work is reviewed in a live setting), and especially peer support from other students on your course making you feel part of an online community. You get access to all course materials on every other course for life once you have finished, and remain part of the wider community.
DAW School: How To Use Logic Pro
I have been using Logic for 15 years and still learnt a lot in this course. The individual chapters do not go into great depth, but it is very instructive to see how professionals structure their workflow and approach certain tasks. Many thanks to Guy and his team, it was a pleasure to work through the course.
From short courses to Masters
During 2023 I did a number of short courses with ThinkSpace. The content is excellent and I was so impressed I signed up for a Masters. This rocks - there is no substitute for the access to the many, many working professionals this provides - who routinely provide detailed feedback on your work. Highly recommended.
Amazing!!! (Introduction to Mixing Course)
I just loved this course! It has 6 modules and Tim shows you thoroughly how to mix & master in LogicPro and Cubase. What I love about this course is that you get structured knowlegde. Finally a course that does that! You have many tutorials on YouTube that are all over the place and I’ve struggled to find a good concise course. Tim is an excelent tutor, Bradley asks the right questions so they’re a great duo 😊 You’ll also have the chance to apply what you’ve learned right away because you have access to all the projects that they did as well as test your knowledge with Quizzes. Overall, I would recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn more about mixing and mastering. And I think I’m gonna apply for a PG Certificate this year, wish me luck! 🥰

A great educational experience all around
To start off my experience is with the degree program and not the short courses. I honestly cannot say enough about how great of an experience this has been. For being an online bases school the level of support and interactivity is outstanding. As an educator myself I understand how important it is to re-evaluate how well everything is working. Being on the slower paced version of the MFA in Multimedia Composition, I have seen this school constantly re-evaluate how they are working with students, and if what they are offering is relevant to the field. Any of the issues that I have run into over the years have been addressed, or they are working on fixing them as they are evolving what this school is. Don't expect college professors, and I mean that in the best way possible. Where as you can receive a degree, and you are working in an academic environment. The absolute best aspect of this school is that you are learning from people who work in the industry, and people who genuinely care and understand what you are going through as a student, and in my case adult who is also working 2 jobs. My experience has been nothing short of life changing, and has helped me to rekindle my love and passion for writing music, teaching, and game design.
Learned a great deal and have gone back…
Learned a great deal and have gone back over the course several times as there is so much useful information
A Major, with nothing diminished.
Guy has an excellent pedigree on both presenting and composing. And it's clear there's been a lot of 'head banging' through his career in the music business. Along the lines of "How can this person be so stupid?" and non-concurrently, "That violinist, lost me. I understood about 50% of what she was saying about bowing techniques." This makes the lovely man well equipped to tutor stupids like me. It's a great course, explains clearly, and avoids unnecessary complexity and jargon. I had no problem in understanding the concepts and practicalities of what was being taught. But there was so much in each lesson that I’ll be revisiting them until I retain all the knowledge. The course is great, and the great extends to the value for money too.
Excellent courses
Excellent courses. I have taken a few and have enjoyed them.
ThinkSpace Ed ROCKS!
I really appreciate ThinkSpace Ed. Guy is not only an amazing teacher, but he makes learning fun. Trying to grasp the concepts are hard, but with the videos and a downloadable .pdf document it makes it way easier to listen to Guy and read along, making it more comprehensible. For the cost of the course, the material available and the fact you can view them as often or as necessary as you like make it a win-win program worth investing time in. Thanks Guy!
