We’re back with another PBLA Open House event at our gorgeous location in the Mack Sennett Studios in Los Angeles. Our LA school will be open to the public from 7pm onwards on Tuesday, September 10, giving anyone curious about the school or our classes the chance to get the answers they need, right from the mouths of those who teach them. At the Open House, you will be able to attend a masterclass from one of our PBLA expert lecturers, giving you a flavour of what you can expect on our comprehensive, BPPE-approved classes in Los Angeles. On the day (September 10) our Masterclass comes in the form of an exclusive “Beats on the Fly” beat-making workshop with LA beat scene pioneer and Point Blank Lecturer, Sweatson Klank. During the event, you’ll also be able to take a tour of our home in the famous hundred-year-old studios, get a look at the state-of-the-art equipment we use and ask any questions of our Course Advisor team – All you need to do is RSVP on Eventbrite to book your place. In addition to all this, at this PBLA Open House we will also be hosting a track feedback session – so if you’ve got a song you’d like some help with, or just want to trial them on some other musicians and professionals, we’ll be happy to lend an ear and provide feedback.
