TESTIMONIALS
The modules are specially designed to understand
music production and theory from basics,
which helped me to learn melodies quickly
and effectively. The mentors are very
cooperative and helped me whenever I
hit a wall, during and after my course. I
would like to thank AAFT for gifting an
Audio Interface and DAW which helped
us get going from the very start of the
course.
Dipanjan Dey
1st Batch - December 2021

Even though I am from the music industry and have an

experience of about 20 + years I decided to give
myself one more chance to develop my skills
and knowledge for music. I am glad that I
chose AAFT Online Music Production
Diploma Program where the things
related to the music and almost every
topic of this course gave a new horizon
and made me get the best of the
knowledge.
