    Anonymous review on 12/19/2016
    Positives: - The instructor was very knowledgable and enthusiastic. He was approachable and very helpful with questions. - The material is great. Ableton Live is incredibly fun to work with. - When they had to reschedule one of the classes for a date that I couldn't make, they let me have a free private lesson. Negatives: They really don't have their act together. - The classroom was crammed... small and uncomfortable. There was no room to work on music production, as the workstations were already occupied by turn tables (which are not used in this class). One of the desks and one of the chairs were broken throughout the course. - To make matters worse, they somehow overbooked the class, so there were too many people crammed into this tiny awkward room. - Their co-ed bathroom door was broken throughout the course. They didn't seem to have any intention of fixing it. - They canceled one of the classes and rescheduled it for a different random day of the week. I had purposely scheduled my travel dates around this class, so this was beyond infuriating. - Since there was no room to work in the classroom, you couldn't follow along and try anything as it was being taught. Taking notes was difficult too, since there was no surface to write on. - There was a gap between the door and the wall, and the receptionist was often loudly chatting and laughing. You could hear everything that was going on in the other classroom, too. It was difficult to focus. - I talked to them about getting a refund, and they said I needed to talk directly to their IT department (seriously?) They didn't even seem to be curious about why I was interested in leaving the class. I would have gladly given them some constructive criticism instead of writing a public review, but here we are.
