Start a prolific career in the music and audio industry with us

When the Beatles popularized reel-to-reel recording to create mixed tunes for ‘Yellow Submarine’, people were mesmerized by what audio technology can do. Now, the audio industry is thriving with new tech tools and interesting career prospects. 

If you are passionate about music then a career in the audio industry can be an exciting prospect for you. This sector is continually evolving  and we have come a long way from vinyl records to streaming services.

The quality and wide accessibility of these technological devices was unimaginable at one point. 

A career in this sector is interesting and offers immense job satisfaction. Given how evolved the audio industry has become and the speed at which it is transforming, an excellent audio program is the best approach to starting a career in this industry. 

When we talk of making a career in the audio industry, your choices are not simply limited to being a music composer, you can choose to be a music producer, sound editor, DJ, audio visual technician, recording engineer, live sound technician and much more. 

With so many options and the vast amount of knowledge required to flourish in this sector, students need expert guidance and this is exactly what Trebas Institute Toronto aims to provide.

At Trebas, you learn from the best and get a complete understanding of what truly goes into sound and recording. Jeff Wright heads the audio program department at Trebas Institute Toronto where he also teaches sound and recording theory and has an exceptional understanding of the sector. 

This can be attributed to his three decades of work experience in the recording industry. Jeff started out as a drummer and then moved to recording, later transitioning to producer/engineer and subsequently recording bands from around the world . He brings this experiential learning to the classroom where students get more than just curriculum studies, they learn various tricks of the trade that give them an edge over others. 

Taught by the well-known producer Jack Richardson, who has produced hits with famous artists and bands like Alice Cooper and Kiss, Jeff previously worked as an Assistant and rose to become a Freelance Engineer. He holds a diploma in audio engineering and has recorded voices and music for many notable shows and movies, some of which have won Academy, Emmy, Gemini, Annecy and other awards. 

Jeff has donned many hats including that of a director for two seasons of Pirates for CBC and has a dynamic resume that includes working on an open-road entertainment film, The Nut Job. He has also worked with some premier Canadian recording artists- Jellystone, Kardinal, Breit Brothers and more. 

Learning from the best 

Along with an excellent faculty guiding you every step of the way, Trebas Institute also takes huge initiatives to connect its students with the best and brightest minds in the audio industry. 

Recently, Jeff Wright interviewed Ben Kershman who is the Director of Marketing for Revolution Records, a label owned by the prestigious Warner Music Group. This session that happened in November was part of the “sound and recording” class. 

Students in the first and second terms of audio classes at Trebas Institute Toronto got to engage in an interesting chat with Benjamin where he shared his own remarkable journey and gave brilliant insights into the audio/music industry. He gave students an insight into what can be expected while working for smaller and major labels.
