We are a unique school that provides education in SOUND DESIGN, GAME MUSIC, SONGWRITING, AND MUSIC PRODUCTION.

About us

Audio Production Academy was founded in 2012 and has been operating in central Stockholm ever since. We are a unique educational environment that develops creators in music, audio, sound design, and game audio, while also building networks, inspiring, and creating real opportunities for the next step, whether the goal is personal development or a professional career.

We are forward-thinking and innovative in everything we do, something that permeates the entire organization. Audio Production Academy was started out of a desire to offer an education that was different from all the others, where technical skills, practical creation, and creative thinking are equally important components. For us, learning is not just about tools and software, but also about developing your approach to creativity, problem solving, and collaboration. Through our programs, you gain access to a creative environment that gives you the space to grow at your own pace and on your own terms.

Our teachers are all professionals in the industry and actively work with music production, sound design, and game-related sound production. They have direct insight into how today's creative industries work and how they continue to change. Instead of clinging to outdated methods, we focus on modern tools, efficient workflows, and relevant working methods, adapted to the demands of today and tomorrow.

What sets us apart is our strong focus on practical creation. Our courses are project-based and focused on your technical skills, your workflow, your creative development, and your ability to work professionally—whether it's music, interactive audio, or complex soundscapes for games and other media. With the help of our dedicated instructors and our modern approach, we are shaping the next generation of sound creators.

Reach your full potential

A course with us is not just about what you learn in music production, but how you develop your creative thinking in sound in all its forms: from music and sound design to game audio and interactive sound. We teach you not only how to create, but how to think in order to achieve your goals and realize your ambitions.

Our courses are conducted in a classroom setting, where group work and project-based learning are central components of the teaching. You will work closely with other driven creatives, just like in the industry, which will give you both technical skills and valuable experience of collaboration.

Whether you aim to create music, build soundscapes for games, or work professionally with sound in new formats, we give you the tools, structure, and confidence to realize your ambitions.

By creators, for creators

Audio Production Academy was founded by active creators and has been shaped from day one with your ambitions and creativity at its core. Our management and teachers are actively involved in music, sound design, and game audio, giving us a unique and realistic understanding of what it actually takes to take the next step, whether you are creating out of passion or aiming for a professional career.

We know what it's like to build something from scratch, to get stuck, to take steps forward, and to navigate a creative industry that is constantly changing. That's why we can guide you in a way that is only possible when the teachers themselves are at the heart of the industry. It's not about theory for theory's sake, but about experience, perspective, and tools that actually make a difference.

Creativity first

Our teaching methods and curriculum are designed to give you a strong technical foundation in your tools and software, whether you work with music production, sound design, or game audio. Once you have mastered the technology, you will have room for the most important thing: creative freedom. You should be able to focus on ideas, expression, and the big picture, not get bogged down by limitations.

Our studios are creative free zones where experimentation is encouraged and where, during your education, you will explore new ways of understanding, challenging, and developing your own creativity. The creative thinking and workflow we teach are not only relevant to your creative work here and now, but something you will carry with you into future projects, collaborations, and your professional life, as well as many other areas of life.
