Read MoreWhen learning Push (reading articles, combing through forums, watching videos, etc.) it can be easy to lose sight of the big picture. I bought Push to be able to help me express musical ideas, but if anything it became a hinderance because I ended up using it to do things I was faster at using a mouse and keyboard. PLAYGRND turns Push into the instrument I always hoped it would be - giving me less to think about so that I can get lost in the act of creativity! Now I'm looking at the computer screen far less and essentially treating Push like an analog instrument. Huge props to Andri for this course!

Read MoreThe course provides a whole set of new tools that empowers the student and helps them unleash endless possibilities of artistry and creativity. I find myself eager to move on to each new challenge. There is never a dull moment. I also enjoy how Andri teaches the class while also serving as a guide during the journey by the way he scripts his teaching, composes with us, and produces the videos. Andri provides individual feedback to each student that is meaningful as well. Outstanding course!

Read MoreThe Push Bible was awesome to get my feet wet with concepts and whatnot, BUT I'm really learning a lot in the PLAYGRND course. The hands on challenges are what was missing and I'm having a blast throwing clips into the community for others to check out, as well as view others work myself. Great job Andri! I couldn't recommend it enough to my peers :)

Read MoreWell it has been an exciting journey so far , I am in part 7 right now and am really enjoying the playground. Not only learning PLAYGRND, but along the way I got a much deeper understanding of PUSH and Ableton Live as well. It is finished !! The course for now, the coming period I will record a lot of stuff , dive deep into playground, when there are results I will upload them, when there is questions I go back to the course. It was a great beginning of a long journey. I can recommend the course to everyone.
Read LessThe course is clear and hands on, I like the imperfect presentation, to see that not everything is smooth. Am still very happy that I enrolled

PLAYGRND puts you straight into making music from the first module onwards. Each module takes you through key features, building up to the final PLAYGRND Live Set. This takes place over 8 weeks (perhaps more if you inspire me to keep going).
Creative Challenges get you learning how to use PLAYGRND's instruments and effect devices from hands-on use. Create ideas and finish track each week for two months or more - go at your own pace.
Get feedback and support from your peers and fellow PLAYGRNDers as you go, with (optional) social sharing built in.
By the end of the PLAYGRND journey, you'll have assembled the most powerful Live Set / Project File there is for Push, and you will have made more music in a few weeks than most make in a year, all your own and unique to you.
