Ze leren toplines of liedjes schrijven met platina bekroonde songwriters, ze leren over publiceren van uitgevers, ze horen artiesten praten over hun carrière of leren opnemen of mixen met technici die dagelijks succesvolle platen opnemen of mixen.

Alle lessen zijn zo ingericht dat de docenten hun eigen werkaanpak delen terwijl de deelnemers centraal staan om de ruimte te krijgen om hun eigen muziek en werkwijze te ontwikkelen.
