"Great course, really good projects to work through step-by step, while still doing your own thing. Really appreciate having all the same samples to work with, this helps a lot with working along to the class"
-Andre Rivers
Are you still watching tutorials online without seeing the results you want?
Maybe you’re not making the progress you know you could be.
Or you start ideas but are never able to finish them.
You get busy and making music becomes less of a priority.
If you’re anything like most producers you love music, but your progress eventually stalls.
You get stuck in the same place or stop making music altogether for months at a time.
You feel confused and possibly a bit lost.
I know the feeling.
I spent 10 years of trial and error making the mistakes so you don't have to.
I’m Kia Orion. I’ve been making music for over a decade and am the founder of Beat School, the premiere online education for Hip-Hop music production.
I wasted a lot of time learning how to make beats.
What took me years to learn could have been shortened to a few months.
Why?
I had no direction. I tried to learn it completely on my own.
Sure, I picked up some techniques and ideas from various tutorials…
But I still didn’t understand how everything worked together.
I couldn’t get the sound I wanted and felt confused and discouraged.
I almost quit.
In fact, I did quit. Multiple times.
I would quit for several months before returning, simply because I found it too f*ckin frustrating.
Looking back, I realized I made three key mistakes:
1) I focused too much on theoretical learning, instead of actually doing…
2) I tried to learn advanced concepts too soon…
3) I had no roadmap or plan. I split my attention between too many different areas of production, and progressed at a snail's pace...

That’s why I created Beat Bootcamp:
A focused 4-week online production program designed to help beginning and intermediate music producers break out of multi year plateaus, learn how to easily mix their tracks, and experience rapid growth in a short period of time.
By the end of 4 weeks you’ll have 4 finished tracks you’ll be excited to share.
With weekly roadmaps, downloadable course files, and a clear path forward Bootcamp is built to provide a solid foundation of production skills in the shortest time possible.
During this one-month program you'll learn the end-to-end techniques to make music in three popular styles while becoming a versatile music producer in 30 days.
Beat Bootcamp is designed to teach you the necessary skills to level up your music production quickly.
I see most producers make the same mistakes that keep them from reaching their potential with their music.
Don’t let that be you.
Let’s get you where you want to go.
“If you are new in the game Kia’s shit is a goldmine. This is just what you need to know to get things done at the beginning of your career.”
Program Highlights:
-Watch over my shoulder as we make beats together.
-Unlimited access to the files forever so you can come back and watch anytime.
-A program designed around shipping your beats and deliberate practice with principals taken from the world of accelerated learning and language acquisition.
-Project files and drum kits so you can easily start making better beats
-This program is built on doing. No more boring technical walkthroughs. You’ll spend 90% of your time in your DAW following along learning as you go.
"Totally enjoyed this class and learned so much within a short period of time. Thanks Kia, much appreciated!"
