When you hear the phrase “online course,” you’re probably imagining sitting back, passively watching videos or tutorials. Learning in this way is really common, but research shows it’s not actually a very good way to make progress or retain information.Instead, at Soundfly, we built our model on the concept of active learning — the idea that we learn best by doing. Our courses are designed to get you putting lessons into practice every week, with feedback, accountability, and help from a personal expert mentor along the way.Learn with Soundfly and find your sound today!

I completed a 4 week mentorship with Ian Prince. I brought a few song drafts to our initial session and we narrowed down to one track to concentrate on for the duration of the mentorship What an absolute joy it was having him as a mentormvHe provided such wisdom, insight, and actionable feedback, and opened my ears and mind to new ways of approaching structure, writing, production, and Sonic depth. he guided me through the tools with a very hands-on approach, demoing/screen sharing stuff live, and even helped me with specific elements by singing or improving instrumentation examples over my existing tracks. the specificity and concrete demos really helped me understand what he was talking about, in addition to his clear communication even about more abstract elements and concepts. he was so approachable and incredibly generous with his timez and I truly felt inspired throughout the process.

Great place to build your creative chops
I've been a member for a few years now, and SoundFly is a rock solid organization for creative musicians, composers, and producers. Courses are well made, instructors are supportive and knowledgeable. It's a great place where you can expand or advance your creative talents, or check back on technical details from one of the courses when you're stuck trying to mix something. Check out their list of courses they offer -- there's bound to be a few that catch your eye! Try one!

Pushing my music further
I've been a member for year and keep getting so much out of the course. Currently completing the Draft/Echo that has helped me so much push my music further.

Had a fantastic learning experience w/…
Had a fantastic learning experience w/ Soundfly via DRAFT // ECHO. At the advice of a friend I joined a cohort of musicians working to stretch the limits of their creativity. Though I'm earlier in my journey than others in the group and was humbled by the amount of experience, I found the group to be inclusive, warm, and the entire experience to be massively educational. Ian expertly gave a series of inspirational presentations and facilitated amongst us -- fantastic communicator and the depth of his understanding of others' approach and process was tremendous. Even with my early experience, I took away some insights which both helped me to move forward on progress I wouldn't have made otherwise as well as some lessons that I expect to continue to pay dividends down the road. Would absolutely recommend (worth the time and money) and am looking forward to learning from the folks at Soundfly.

Fantastic resource for musicians, great value, inspiring and informative
Soundfly is a brilliant source of information and inspiration for music makers and singers. The online courses are well written, easy to follow and have obviously been very well thought out. The live courses are great too (I'm doing one at the moment) and it's been brilliant.

Soundfly provides substantive value in a troubled niche
Let's cut to the chase: there's a massive cottage industry out there that's taken the phrase "in a gold rush, sell shovels" as their motto, and is doing some mix of courting or preying on aspiring musicians, many of whom are still little kids at heart, but now have adult money to spend on their dreams.
Soundfly operates in this niche with integrity, providing real lasting value and some of the best educational content for musicians who work through its classes. While the classes ease you in incrementally and effectively, they don't skimp on challenging material, and they give you project prompts to make sure you consolidate and apply what you're learning as you go. Soundfly has all the fundamental theory and production material you'd get in an undergrad or master's degree in its catalog, at a fraction of the cost. I'm often surprised to find how much insight they pack into the classes included in their subscription, given that many non-Soundfly influencers monetizing via courses charge $500-1k+ per class equivalent for a fraction of that value.
Soundfly differentiates itself further on two fronts. (1) With the custom content provided by successful artists. They provide courses from a roster of artists that includes Com Truise, Ryan Lott, Kimbra, Elijah Fox, and many others. These are real in-depth courses, not the workflow highlights and aphorisms you get from platforms like Masterclass. And (2) with the periodic live workshops they offer, which benefit both from the skill of the instructors guiding the workshops (who are sometimes these artists, and sometimes skilled facilitators) and the quality of students Soundfly attracts to participate in said workshops. I've joined two of these now as a composer/producer, and in both cases improved as a composer, came out with new friends, and wrote enough raw material to plant the seeds for several albums.
While it's true that Soundfly occasionally does time-limited offers, etc., dipping into tapping FOMO now and then to drive sales or enrollment, they do it sparingly in contrast with how the industry operates as a whole, and IMO do the amount that they've done just so they can survive as a business. I have always found any sales contact or interaction from them to have a true win/win focus, rather than the aggressive sell-at-any-cost tactics you find elsewhere. And I have never had one scammy interaction with them; on the contrary, I've seen them consistently decline to offer services or courses when they don't feel they can deliver the quality they strive for.
Anytime a friend of mine asks for recommendations on how to improve their musicianship or take their production to the next level, I always point them as Soundfly as a first stop. Because I know real value is on offer, and I know I can trust Soundfly not to take advantage of them. In the world of music education platforms, that's an increasingly rare set of guarantees.
