Meet your instructors

Jim Snyder is the primary instructor, and holds a Designated Subjects Credential in Arts, Media and Entertainment in the State of California and a BA degree in Music Composition and Performance from the University of California, San Diego.  

Jim founded this program in 2009 to bring affordable audio production education to aspiring producers from around the globe.  Having studied and worked in a wide range of musical capacities, including jazz and classical studies, North Indian classical music performance and theory, 20th century composition, and electronic music production, to name a few, he became an audio production educator for youth and adults in 2006.  After developing several successful audio and visual media programs, he created Sound Lab 1 originally as an online platform for global music collaboration.  In 2009 the focus was shifted to audio and music production education while keeping the goal of fostering a global online community of musicians and producers.

Sound Lab 1 will feature several guest instructors in the near future.  Stay tuned for more instructor information...
