TESTIMONIALS
“I booked in 6 weeks of Production lessons at Little Street Studio and Gurpaal was extremely accomodating to my needs. My lessons were specifically tailored to my level of experience and knowledge. Throughout the lessons I was able to finish and fine-tune my track, to a quality ready to be played in clubs and release. It was exactly what I needed at this point in my music career and really took my skills to the next level. The studio itself is also extremely aesthetic and an incredibly inspiring place to work - I’ll be back!”
“Amazing studio! I had some 1:1 music production sessions with Gurpaal and I learnt so much in such a short space of time! I was immediately able to apply what I was learning to my productions and develop them to a much higher standard. It’s a beautiful, welcoming space with absolutely every piece of kit you could imagine! Can’t wait to go back!”
“The knowledge I’ve acquired from the lessons at LSS has significantly advanced my journey in electronic music production. I wholeheartedly recommend LSS to anyone venturing into music production. I would have never expected to receive such in-depth guidance on the Ableton software and various synthesisers in the studio. Being a student here has truly been a pleasure. Thank you LSS for the invaluable experience!”
