Our Story

Sonic Academy Australia was founded in 2020 by a group of passionate audio engineers and music producers in Melbourne, Victoria. Recognizing a gap in the market for comprehensive and accessible online music production education, we set out to create a course that would empower aspiring musicians and producers to achieve their creative goals. From humble beginnings, operating out of a small studio in Sandringham, we have grown into a leading online music education platform, serving students across Australia and beyond.

Our initial focus was on providing training for Ableton Live, which quickly gained popularity. As we grew, we expanded our curriculum to include Logic Pro X, music theory, sound design, mixing, and mastering. We are committed to staying at the forefront of music production technology and techniques, ensuring that our students receive the most up-to-date and relevant education possible.

Our Mission

At Sonic Academy Australia, our mission is to empower aspiring musicians and producers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to create professional-quality music. We are dedicated to providing a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can explore their creativity, connect with fellow musicians, and achieve their full potential.

We believe that music education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or location. That's why we offer our courses online, allowing students to learn at their own pace and from anywhere in the world. We also strive to keep our courses affordable, without compromising on quality.
