About Stave
Welcome to Stave Academy! We've put together an exciting new Saturday school, designed to teach all the tips and tricks of the trade in the music industry; from songwriting and performing to studio recording. We help you learn how to craft songs with interesting lyrics and creative melodies, record and mix vocals and instruments in the studio and perform in live gig environments with other musicians.
Stave academy is run by industry professionals and has been created with care. We've spent the last year devising a syllabus that we wished we had access to when we were studying. You don’t need to be an expert guitarist/drummer to join! We make it our mission to work with you to nurture the skills you already have and help you hone your craft. All you need is positive attitude and a love for music.
Stave Academy is taught by industry professionals. Stef and Dave (ST-AVE) primarily run the classes, but from time to time we bring other industry professionals in to help run the classes.
