Every Note Tells A Story
Insights
The ASA course offered my child, who used to dabble with GarageBand, more structure. He now produces music with more understanding. The outcome of the course has definitely enhanced his learning of the piano as well. In general he is able to identify different structures in existing songs and apply it to his own music. The course offers a step by step build up and is packed with learning.

Coming from a completely non-musical background, I never imagined I could truly understand or enjoy the process of making music. Having spent most of my professional life in the automotive industry, music always felt like a distant art form. But through Audio Sculptors Academy’s personal mentorship program, I discovered not only the joy of listening, but also the excitement of creating music myself.
The way I was guided patiently, step by step – made everything simple and approachable. Today, I find myself appreciating songs at a much deeper level – catching nuances I would have completely missed earlier. This journey has also added a sense of calm and creativity to my daily life, which I deeply value. In fact, I now share these learnings with my 3-year-old daughter, introducing her to the beauty of music appreciation.
ASA has truly opened a door to a world I never thought I could be part of, and I couldn’t be happier with this experience.

As a researcher, my daily workload can often be hectic and mentally exhausting. Music has always been my escape. I would spend my long 2.5-hour metro rides back home listening to songs, trying to find some relief from the stress of the day. But learning the basics of music-making and appreciation with Audio Sculptors Academy over the weekends has brought me even closer to music in a way I had never experienced before.
The mentorship at ASA made music feel approachable, something I could actively engage with instead of just passively listening. This has added a new layer of creativity and joy to my life, making my routine not only lighter but also more fulfilling. Music is no longer just a companion – it has become a meaningful part of my self-expression, and for that I am truly grateful to ASA.

Audio Sculptors Academy gave me the tools to take my music to the next level. As someone who plays piano, violin, drums, and bass guitar, I’d always wanted to bring all of those instruments together into something cohesive, but I didn’t know where to start with production. The program walked me through the foundations in recording, mixing, and arranging, and helped me turn my ideas into finished tracks.
What I loved most was how it encouraged me to branch out into different genres and experiment with sounds I never would’ve tried on my own. Those skills have even allowed me to create original soundtracks for my nationally award-winning documentaries, something I never thought I’d be able to do at my age. Audio Sculptors Academy didn’t just teach me production, but gave me a way to combine everything I love about music into one creative process.

I’ve been playing drums professionally for years and have had the chance to work with some incredible Indian artists and bands. But when it came to producing my own music, I always felt a gap. That’s when I joined the Online Music Production Course at Audio Sculptors Academy, and was mentored by Mayank.
The sessions were very practical and clear, just the exact tools and mindset I needed to bring my ideas to life. I have never felt more confident creating my own tracks, layering sounds, and actually finishing songs.
The course opened up a whole new creative side of me. If you’re someone who loves music, whether you’re a beginner or already a working musician – I’d definitely recommend ASA. It’ll change the way you look at making music.
