The Blackbird Academy

There is nowhere like The Blackbird Academy, I assure you. John McBride, Director of Blackbird Studio and The Blackbird Academy, has gathered the all star staff. An acclaimed number of highly experienced, established members of the community not only sit across from the students, but, guests of the highest caliber and achievement are constantly invited to speak, record, mix, and master. I came to The Blackbird Academy with little to no practical knowledge of the technology, techniques, or professions that encompassed the Music Industry. Although I had a strong foundation in music itself, having played for, almost literally, my entire life; I began to question myself. Life is meaningless, to me, without music. For several years, I put my sticks down, defeated by my own objections to happine

My time at the Blackbird Academy was incredible! The gear that you use, the concepts you learn, and the hands on knowledge and experiences that you gain from the Academy are second to none. If you are someone who is serious about audio, then Blackbird is the place you need to be.

Blackbird Academy has helped me grow tremendously as an Audio Engineer. If you're considering enrolling at this school, it could be the best decision you'll ever make - It definitely was mine. Industry professionals are constantly popping in-and-out, utilizing and appreciating everything that Blackbird has to offer. The entire studio (from microphones to outboard gear to all of the studio rooms) is available for the academy. This school is 'the real-world experience'. The Academy also provides tremendous support for their soon-to-be graduates and helpes them land internship/work opportunities all over the globe! Blackbird Academy is the place to be!
