The full course covers the full syllabus and goes through all the topics about sound design and synthesis. However, the crash course covers the basics and essentials only. In other words, the crash course is an introductory course about sound synthesis but could also be given to the students who already know the essentials and want to cover advanced topics on the contrary. Please note that both the full and the crash courses are given in private

This course is only given in private, and in this case, the schedule is more flexible and can happen within 2 weeks after confirming your registration. To confirm your registration a down-payment of 150$ must be submitted

Knowledge, Talent, Skill, Practice, Passion and Patience are the main ingredients of success. At Per-vurt, not only we make sure that you get the most professional tutoring, but we make sure that we will be proud being represented by you in the dance music industry. For that, we have decided to not graduate the student without making sure that he/she is able to understand and apply synthesis.

Any student who is still not able to do so in a way that goes on par with our standards, will take more sessions for free until we make sure that every penny spent was worth spending.
Knowledge and practice are not enough though, it is essential to practice what you are learning.
