I've been a producer and musician in Chicago since 2007, and Denver since 2013. I have both…read moreperformed and produced both music and voiceover at several studios throughout the US. Rocky Mountain Recorders is a solid establishment, with kind, honest, professional, and talented engineers and hospitality staff, state-of-the-art microphones and mixing consoles, and a supremely comfortable environment. In May '15, I worked with Justin at RMR producing a few radio and internet spots. The work consisted of recording, editing and mixing VO as well as some general audio sweetening. Justin was patient, respectful, accommodating and completely professional throughout the entire project. As well, he treated my clients with kindness, patience, and diplomacy, even at times of high tension. In the end, the audio throughout the campaign was spectacular, and the experience was very comfortable, and the quality was top notch. Of course, if you have half a brain and are in the market for a recording studio, you should weigh your options and find the best studio for you and your project. But I'm here to tell you that, with my several years experience performing and working within recording studios, Rocky Mountain Recorders among the best in the country.

Affordable and Stellar - certainly recommend to all who need a rehearsal studio that is dependableread more

I have had the most wonderful experience working with Rachel Grindle for voice lessons this year…read more Rachel is patient, friendly, and extremely kind. I was a complete beginner and she made me feel so comfortable to sing in front of a stranger for the first time. I would highly recommend Rachel and DMI for any one looking to get music lessons.

I started studying with John in Oakland just before he moved to Denver. He made such an impression…read moreon me in those first few lessons that we decided to continue instruction via Skype after his move. That proved to be an excellent choice. John is a gifted teacher who takes his own playing very seriously. This means that he is constantly growing as a musician and sharing those lessons with his students in a way the they can relate to. He meets the student where they are, but does not give in to the temptation to cater exclusively to their wants; John preaches balance in playing and practicing and will not hesitate to prescribe work in weak areas. Every time I see John in person, he has grown as both a player and a teacher. He is at the forefront of 'ukulele education on the national and international stage. If you are interested in deepening your understanding of the instrument, you should run - not walk - to Ukulele Inspired Studios.

This review is long overdue! I took ukulele lessons with John when he was based in Oakland, from…read more2015-16. I was brand new to the uke, and needed to start with the basics. There were many things I loved about my lessons with John. First off, his positive energy and enthusiasm made our lessons such a pleasure. Something else that made John's approach totally unique was that his lesson content is very student-driven; rather than assigning me songs to practice, he would ask me what I wanted to learn. I would show him songs I was interested in, and he would help me figure out how to play them. In the weeks when life was busy and I didn't have a song in mind, he would make suggestions that I could choose from. He also challenged me by incorporating musical theory into our lessons, and took into account my prior knowledge from playing piano and singing. Another unique aspect of John's teaching is that he would video record new finger work or strum patterns, and share the videos with me. This way when I was practicing at home and didn't remember how to play something, I could always rewatch the videos. If you're at all considering taking ukulele lessons, I highly recommend that you work with John!

An outstanding Academy that took me from not knowing anything about DJing and in only a few lessons…read morehas me mixing, using effects and blending genres on my own. I am already able to try out more advanced techniques, and am blown away by my progress in such little time. Rex is incredibly talented and knows both the nuts and bolts of actual mixing and also the beat and blending theory that goes along with it. Incredible one on one instruction, and easily worth the price. Discosapien Academy makes DJing extremely accessible, so if you are even remotely interested in learning some mixing, or are an advanced DJ, I would absolutely recommend this Academy!

As a parent to an 11 year old; I had absolutely no idea about DJ'ing or even EDM music, and I was…read moreway out of my element on my sons taste of music. So I did what every supportive parent does; I Goggled everything from "kids raves to DJ lessons" and only came up with a few small selection of contacts for the Denver area. The weeks of searching was very disappointing, as I tried to make multiple attempts at calling (and even trying to stop by some places during their open business hours), not a single place was even interested in talking to me when I said that I have a very interested 11 year old that wants to learn DJ'ing and music production. This was until I called and talked to Rex with Discosapien Academy. First - Rex actually answered the phone and took the time to talk to me; while he listened to all of ramblings about my son and his music interests. Rex was genuinely excited about wanting us to come and meet with him; so that we could get a feel for what his lessons could offer. When meeting with Rex and seeing my sons reaction to this whole new world; I knew we were in the right place. It's now been almost 4 months, and my son has completely stepped up his game. Rex has taken my sons musical interests to a whole new level; where he talks about music production and how the different parts of a song need to be properly arranged to sound proper with the different pitch and sound adjustment; it's pretty mind blowing to here all of this from a now 12 year old. Rex is so patient and very calm in his teaching style. I love just sitting and listening from the outside hearing how Rex teaches and explains the lessons; while applying a hands on learning technique which is followed up by such positive encouragement. My son leaves every lesson even more excited and passionate about creating his own music and sound. I know this was a lengthy review; but as a parent that came into this new musical world with absolutely no idea where to turn; I hope that this review and post will offer other parents a quicker resource for you and your child. If you want to ever call and talk more about this review; I am happy to elaborate more. So I will let Rex know that he can surely share my contact information. Good luck! Bobby S.
