Add-ons for the Reason 4 Production Program

  • Extra Lessons

Every student learns at a different pace, and some may require extra lessons in order to fully understand the programs they are being taught.  Retro Music offers our students extra lessons to ensure they understand everything about music production:


5 extra lessons, one hour each: R1500


  • Practice Sessions

Practicing new techniques is essential to learning, but many people don’t have their own production studio at home. Each student has 5 hours of practice time to use outside of lessons and so we offer additional studio practice sessions at an exclusive rate for our students for up to 2 weeks after the completion of the program.


5 hour studio sessions: R1000
10 hour studio sessions: R1500


  • Studio Sessions

We also offer the services of our studio engineer should you want additional assistance in producing tracks other than what you are working on in the Complete Program.


1 hour studio session with engineer: R250
5 hour studio session with engineer: R1500
10 hour studio session with engineer: R2000
