Courses @ Ocean County College

OOC_logoFollowing a fantastic run as a professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA I relocated back to my old stomping grounds – the now infamous Jersey Shore – and jumped on board at Ocean County College. As part of the Continuing & Professional Education faculty I teach various classes at the college during the fall and spring semesters, one of which is my ever-popular digital music production class featuring Ableton Live. They’re all night classes so know one has to cut out on their day gig. Sign up while seats are still open – they go fast!

Below you’ll find my current class listings for the Spring 2012 semester including the short descriptions, dates and times as seen in the  Brochure.
