Today, Studio, a formidable rival to MasterClass, unveiled its inaugural AI-driven online school catering to musicians, songwriters, and producers. This innovative platform offers an immersive learning experience, allowing participants to glean insights from industry stalwarts, collaborate on song creation, receive feedback from peers, and benefit from Studio's AI coach, which tailors personalized schedules and deadlines.Enrollment begins with the opening of the waitlist, and Studio presents two pricing options: $199 per month or an annual subscription at $1,799.Studio’s Music School boasts an extensive curriculum comprising over a thousand exclusive lessons facilitated by more than 110 renowned artists and instructors. Notable names include Charlie Puth, H.E.R., Kygo, and Ryan Tedder. Covering an array of topics such as vocal production, music theory, genres from EDM to classical, and more, the school promises a comprehensive and diverse learning experience.
At the core of Studio's online accelerator is an AI coach powered by OpenAI's GPT-4, supplemented by two proprietary frameworks. This combination addresses GPT-4's inherent limitations in educational design, ensuring effective personalization, pacing, and sequencing. The AI coach creates monthly curriculums tailored to each student's interests, goals, learning style, and experience level. Moreover, an algorithm facilitates weekly feedback from a 20-person peer group, enhancing collaborative learning.Beyond GPT-4, the AI coach leverages Studio’s vast repository of video lessons and curriculum design expertise, incorporating outcome-based student data for optimal results. Studio plans to expand its AI-powered educational offerings, with upcoming schools focusing on writing, filmmaking, and design later this year.
Studio’s Music School is specifically tailored for creative individuals seeking to elevate their existing skills rather than beginners aspiring to enter the music industry. While no specialized equipment is mandatory, Studio recommends having basic music software or Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and recording equipment for enhanced participation.Established in 2017 with a focus on addressing gaps in creative education, Studio has garnered over $60 million in funding to date. Its investor lineup includes notable names such as Forerunner Ventures, Human Capital, and individuals like Jeffrey Katzenberg, Joe Gebbia, and Mike Krieger. With a growing student base exceeding one million, Studio continues to shape the future of creative learning.
