After our succesful summer camps in Miami and Hilversum last summer, Stockholm will be the place to be for songwriters composers and producers in February 2025. From the 24th until the 28th of February 2025, our award-winning team will be your coach! Join us these five days and get lectures from top-tier coaches, work on studio collabs and pitch your tracks to international industry professionals.
For many years the Wisseloord Studios have been one of the most acclaimed musical centres in all of Europe, focusing on songwriting, composition and production. Each year talent from all over the world comes to partake in our writing camps organised in partnership with some of the most recognised labels and publishers in the entire music industry. During our spring camps, you will have the opportunity to engage in our writing camps as well as in some of our classes of the Academy based on “hands-on” practical classes, one on one coaching sessions with industry professionals, inspiring business lectures and much more.
These classes were designed to help participants develop their creative and musical abilities in a practical fashion. Our lectures from industry professionals cover a diverse range of topics including lyric writing, arrangement, harmony and melody, as well as the real-world practicalities of writing and production sessions.
These classes expose students to the ins and outs of the European music industry through lectures from some of the most prominent players in the field. The program is a chance to learn from and connect with high-ranking people in the industry.
A unique feature of the Wisseloord Academy is the wide variety of talent and experience displayed by its participants. Some have spent years honing their skills in songwriting, instrumentalism and performance skills. Others are just beginning to “dip their toe” into musical creativity. In these hands-on classes, students teach one another and participate in production and songwriting sessions. Academy mentors and guest lecturers guide sessions and deliver personalised one-on-one feedback to help mould and develop creative visions.
These classes were designed to demystify modern music production techniques. This means learning the fundamental principles behind various Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and plugins. We cover sound design, synthesis, MIDI programming, signal pro-cessing, vocal production and “in the box” recording and mixing. These classes are broken up based on several levels of aptitude. Whether you’ve never opened Garage Band or are an Ableton veteran, we have the course for you.
These classes revolve around audio and the physical principles of sound. We use our top-notch studios to teach a number of topics including acoustics, the inner workings of microphones, analogue and digital recording techniques, as well as both fundamental and advanced mixing and mastering. We aim to help students develop the skills necessary to confidently record, mix, and master music at a professional level.
