ONE-ON-ONE MENTORSHIP
Personal feedback and direction on every cue. Questions about sample libraries? FX? The current industry? I’ve got you. Technical/emotional support included…no additional charge.
“Really love digging into music theory and famous cues, chord voicings, and overall learning professional techniques to get amazing sounds.”
Evelyn C.
“The amount of resources available is absurd! Between all the over-the-shoulder scoring videos and all the PDFs and fake books, it’s an incredible font of knowledge.”
Justin T.
“I just really appreciate all the knowledge you are sharing. It will probably take me many more months to fully understand everything and digest it…the atmosphere of this course is very encouraging and overwhelming in the best way possible.”

“I know your tag line is something to the effect of ‘everything you’ll learn in music school without the school.’ I can say confidently that I’m literally in music school and I’m learning more in Jason’s class.”
Evelyn C.
“The mixing improvements from your teaching have helped my mixes sound light years better than where they were just three months ago. I immensely appreciate your flexibility with deadlines and class participation. Knowing I can sit out when other obligations get overwhelming and catch up when I have time is great. The individualized feedback on our work is easily a standout.”
Justin T.
“There are so many little things I notice in the additional materials that are sometimes not even the focus of the videos, but I can go and improve. It is so helpful to see the organization of processes. I also really like how we look at different angles of the same genres.”
