This is one of the best schools for learning electronic music out there!! Having been both on physical courses at the school (Ableton Producer Course, leading onto the Ableton Artist Course), as well as the online courses - Ableton Push, and some other ones... they were all invaluable! Simon is an Ableton Certified teacher, and a great tutor, at passing on his many years worth of knowledge/skills in the field. The classes are small enough to feel that you really connect on a personal level with the other students/teacher, and combined with some of the Artist masterclass' from many well known Producers/experts in the industry, I trully cannot express how much was learned in 2 short years of attending! A++ ... well worth investing! I will be back for more!

Having completed some studio courses and online courses I have to say that it’s the best decision I could have made for my music making journey! The guys are really really knowledgeable and helpful!! Highly recommend

I recently completed the Soma Skool Creator course at subSine academy. Being a fan of dance and electronic music since my early teens, this course gave me the ideal insight and knowledge base to finally start getting all those ideas and tunes I’ve had running through my head for years down and out there! Most importantly you really can tell you’re being taught by a tutor that loves and is as passionate about the music and culture as you are, as well as learning from a very diverse range of students also on the course. If you’re interested in music production at all this course really is a no brainer. Honestly, talk to the team if you’ve any questions at all. You won’t be made to feel daft and it’s a great friendly and inclusive environment in which to learn. Safe to say, I’ll be making this music forever now! It is indeed a positive education.

This is the best course I've followed so far. Simon is an excellent tutor, everything is clear and really really useful. I've learnt so much (in particular in the sound designing part, which has been a huge lack for me I think) ! I've been using Reason for many many years and was quite reluctant to use Ableton Live. But now I can't help using Live ! It really improves my workflow and how to quickly create the things that are in my head. And this is thanks to Simon.

Simon is an absolute gent of a man. His knowledge shows with every question you ask him and he provides a very comfortable environment to learn in. Will be looking at booking again soon!

Shoogle Studios is highly recommended!!! A positive learning environment with tutors that really know there stuff. I have come away from a weekend course with the tools to make great music. Will definitely be back.

went to a weekend class here would recommend to everyone. worth the £ and they have all of the skills. They run a professional space best I have ever been to! and I have been around. pop ur head in the door you have to see it to belive it.

This was my 3rd time at Shoogle and it certainly won’t be my last. From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure being there. Simons knowledge in Ableton is second to none,aswell as his knowledge and expertise in electronic music production in general. The classes are taught in a friendly and engaging manner and nothing is too much hassle for him. I honestly can’t recommend Shoogle highly enough. With detailed and structured course notes and access to online tuition,every base is thoroughly covered. I started out with no knowledge of Ableton at all and now I’m aiming to get tracks finished and sent out to labels. Anyone looking to further themselves in electronic music production needs to get signed up for a Shoogle course asap.

I've just completed the Ableton Producer Weekender course at Shoogle with Simon Stokes providing expert tuition in a fun, relaxed and informal manner. The course content is vast and with the course spread over 16 hours in two days, there is plenty to keep you on your toes. Simons' ability as a teacher is second to none. His style is easy to follow, even for a novice like me. I feel on the back of the Introducer course, my level has gone up significantly whereby I'm equipped with knowledge to produce decent material. Of course, included with the course are detailed notes which you can use at home to really supplement and reinforce the in-class training.There is also an super active Facebook group where past attendees share a multitude of information, networking, and generally support each other, which in itself is a great help. All that's left for me to say is.... What are you waiting for? Get yourself booked up and enjoy learning an excellentt program with an expert tutor guiding you through.

Fantastic courses, led by industry experts. Courses progressively more advanced, each going in the right level of detail, well paced, with great support and its own community. Would give six stars if I could!
